Lily

Hey there fellow bloggers. Can anyone tell me why I have pictures on my camera but they don't show up in my Zoom browser so I can't get them onto this blog. Anyhow my news is so good I am going to post without pictures. I will take some new ones tomorrow and post. For those of you that may remember the saga of my filly Lily, the one that was born with so many problems.......yes that one. Well she went to the vet today for a check up and to get x- rays of her knees. With a much happier heart I am estatic to report she gets a clean bill of health. They didn't even take x- rays he told me to take her home she looks good. YAHOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!! I don't have to make that awful decsision about what to do with her. Her mouth is good no monkey mouth, her contracted tendon no more, she has lovely legs....maybe not perfect but close. My lovely little girl is healthy and happy and growing and I am still grinning from ear to ear. Well guys I just had to get that out....what a relief, stay tuned for some pics of Lily and some horses for sale. Later, bed time morning comes way to fast.

Jake

Jake already learning to bug the fences
Jake is bored and really trying to avoid the camera. Little brat does lots of neat things when I don't have the camera. They just seem to know.
Checking out the future baby sitter in the background.
Jake is a pretty boy and starting to get a lot friendlier. He sure is built, he is not even a month old yet. I will keep trying for better pics but theses critters sure don't make it easy. Later. Hey twice in one day not bad huh.

The Story of Lily

Hey guys, I'm back. Well I have a story to tell you. It's about my filly Lily. This poor foal has more strikes against her than I've ever encountered before. First she gets trampled and beat up by would be mothers. She has Monkey mouth, she had a contracted front tendon ...which has since been fixed and the good thing is she has great straight legs, although that may not make any difference as to her future. The vet says she has a slight case of Hyperthyroidism, she says normally they die or she recommends euthanising. You can see in one of these pictures the little girls knees, they are both swollen. She doesn't appear bothered by it. She has a healthy appetite she plays and is a very happy little thing. In three weeks she will go to the vet for x-rays of her knees. These x rays will show if the bones are growing properly...if they arn't, then I guess I have to make a decision about what to do with her. If she is going to have some quality of life then I guess she will be a lifer with me. I love her already and will give her a home with me until she dies or I do, whichever comes first. I have had the opportunity to have quite a few foals I have liked them all but this little filly is special there is something about her that is different. I feel she was given to me for a reason .....don't know what that would be but she really is a gift and one I will cherish even if ......don't even want to think it...... but even if she doesn't have a long life. Anyhow I don't want to type about this anymore, I am hoping the little darlin gets a good vet report and we will go from there. Sorry the pictures arn't to good, the little bugger won't stay far enough away to get a decent pic. The other day I managed to get a picture of her nostrils....that was nice. Anyhow stay tuned for some new pics of the colt, he is getting quite big and what a beauty.

Lily and Jake

Here are some
shots of Lily and Jake

I tried to type under the pictures to tell you a bit about the babies but it wasn't working, so you get what you get. The top 2 are Lily and the bottom 2 are Jake. Lily is very girly and sweet. Jake is all boy and typical of boys, a real brat. The mares are getting better about being so close. I am going to give them some more time and then they will get moved into the same pasture. I spend time in the pen with Jill and Jake everyday and she has gotten a lot better, not running away. Jake is getting more interested in what I am up to and gets closer, I have been able to pet him a few times. I will keep plugging away at it. Lily on the other hand is easy and fairly manageable. Well enough baby talk, I could go on all day. I have to get moving, lots and lots to do. Later have a great day.

Lilly

I have decided to name the wanted one Lilly. Don't ask me why because I don't know. It just kind of popped into my head. She's a nosy little thing and has to check out everything.


After roaming around and nosing into everything she can find she has decided to take a nap, after all being a baby is a hard job. Right after the big yawn she just dropped to the ground and that was that.
