Love is in the air!

Jayne came in heat last Sunday and as of today is still in standing heat. Yes, Beamer has been quite delighted to court his lovely lady Jayne 😉 So assuming she caught, baby will be due around the long weekend in May. Everything has gone smoothly; we had Dave handle Dally the first 2 days and then he wasn't available so we just left Dally in the foaling pen and took Jayne into Beamer's pen for the breeding. 
Oh Jayne... are you flirting with Beamer? 

Teehee- who, me?

Dally does run around when her mama is *ahem* busy but she doesn't get too frantic. The whole procedure from the time we catch the horses to the time Jayne is returned to the pen is less than 5 minutes. Efficient Beamer! However, I am really hoping that tomorrow Jayne will say no! I would like to get them back into the bigger mare pen and get Beamer back to going out to graze during the day.

One more flower for you- this is my "black" iris!

Well, that was easy! Something to look forward to next spring! And she won’t come into heat anymore, hopefully.

And that iris is beautiful!
