Getting Close

Postby Desert Oasis Sporthorses » Mon Mar 30, 2009 6:52 pm

We are getting closer. Should be in the next week. Praying for a white filly. All prayers for a white filly would be greatly appreciated :D . Absent that, a healthy foal and easy delivery :wink: . Dam is looking totally miserable. This will be our only foal this year and we will probably only breed one for 2010.

Crossing my fingers for a happy healthy easily delivered WHITE filly for you ... ;) ... and delivered during normal business hours so you dont end up bleary eyed from foal watch as well ... :)

Hows that? Okay?! :lol:

That is PERFECT. May want to add that it arrive on the weekend since I work full time, tho. Not that I am asking for the moon or anything. Thanks for the good wishes! And, the wishes are reciprocated to you (just can't remember what color or gender you are hoping for)! :D

Welllllllll..........if she's gonna get a big white filly...........then she ought to have to wait up at least 3 nights, watching her mares milk drip..........
and watch her lay down, get up, paw, stare, sleep............doing that over and over, and have the mare finally deliver at 5:30am Monday am.........if she wants a white filly.................HA-HA-HA!!!!!!!!!!! JUST KIDDING KIM, I'M DOING A "WHITE FILLY DANCE" FOR YOU AS I WRITE THIS :wink: :lol:

You are soooo funnneeeee!! For a white filly, I would do that for a week! Checked her last night and she was eating like a pig and looking at me like "nope, not tonight" We must be getting closer. Talk to you later.

After waiting, watching checking and knowing she was going to go this weekend, my wonderful mare, Gracie, decided to foal during the day while I was at work. Whatta a gal. I came home to a gorgeous chestnut filly. She has 3 white sock, a large star and stripe. I walked into the pen with her and momma and she walked right up to say hi. No fear this one, fiesty personality.

TC's prayer that it being during the week and during normal business hours was perfect :lol: A perfect filly with just a smidge of white. She is happy and healthy which is the best of all.
