At 366 days, we're lucky Crystal even managed to finish the sentence. I hope she didn't fall asleep on the computer keyboard. :wink:

We are at 363 today and still counting! Don't you love these mares that hang on for an eternity. :? I have two that were due six weeks apart but the gap is closing rapidly, and with my luck they will go the same night...

hahaha, I'm no longer a foal watch person.. thank goodness.

She had a Andromeda's Hero filly, and will be going to KY soon.

I truly feel the pain of all of you on foal watch.. Been there done that through MRLS season... ugh the meds still haunt me!

This mare is a gr 3 producher.. we "allow" her to take her time :)

I would love to see a picture of an Andromeda's Hero foal. I had a mare that I bred to him the year he was shipped to NY - due to health reasons I had to sell Anna K. at the November sale while she was in foal to AH. I really liked him and liked that mating with that mare! (Although I was a tad p.o.'d they shipped him off before his first foals even hit the ground :shock:

I've been So bad about getting photos this season. My Belong To Me already went to KY before I could get photos, same with the WhyWhyWhy. This time last year my myspace page was over flowing with foal pics.

Andromeda did Super well last season in NY. We just had 2 or 3 Andromeda's right in a row and they look fantastic. All the breeders I talk to say they love the AH foals. They are big, competitive, and fiesty!!

We've also had the year of the fillies.. 15-14 fillies. 40 more to go..

I've got awesome deals for my boys this season if anyone is looking for a NY stallion. PM me
