A new baby!
Last Sunday I got an unexpected call from my parents. My broodmare decided to foal a day early. With her past two colts, she has been 10 days to 2 weeks late, but this little guy, she just couldn't wait for us to see I guess! And big and pretty he is! Duncan is coal black right now without a speck of white on him, and he is ALL legs! I am pretty excited to see how he turns out, I think he has the makings to be very nice horse! He is by So Riveting who was owned by Top Line Performance Horses. So Riveting is by Luke At Me out of And Rightly So who is full sister to Sky's Blue Boy. Duncan's Dam Aint Dun Zippin is a ABRA/IBHA ROM earner and was Top 10 at the ABRA World in 3 events. She is Zippo Pat Bar and Poco Pine Bred.
Needless to say he is big and pretty and we are hoping for good things from little Duncan!

updates
Well its been a while since I have posted (almost a year!) I quick run down of what happened since the last post:
Well we moved in June so it was a very busy time getting everything situated (people, horses, cows...) So not much riding, but I am glad to have the horses right out of my front door again! Fergie came along well this summer, I took her to 3 horse shows. 1 was a open fair show, 1 was a saddle club show and the last was a buckskin show. The first two shows were interesting, Fergie was a little nervous and a little naughty, but she settled down by the buckskin show and even picked up points in the Jr HUS and Am HUS. I sold her two weeks ago to a family in KY that wants to show her Western Pleasure on the AQHA circuit. They absolutely adore her, and I think will take really good care of her. I feel like a sap, but I do care where my horses go, especially the ones I raised!
Allie had a rough summer, she started out being a little naughty, and that went to being sore to being lame, with no apparent reason. I feel like an idiot, but Allie ended up having abscesses in her front feet. I have had no prior experience with them, so I guess I didn't know what they looked like, but I do NOW! So she was so stiff and sore, that I really did not get to ride her for about 4 months. But after switching shoers, she is doing great and back on track! I took her to her first show 2 weekends ago, she did great. With the help of a friend, we got a lot of stuff figured out and we ended up winning the Jr. HUS and Am HUS under both judges…. I am hoping to take her to a few AQHA shows this year on top of starting her over fences, and then of course I will take her to Bucky World this summer, I really think she has the stuff to collect a few buckles down there (not that I am big headed or anything ;O))
But that brings us to the present!
