Fly season's in full swing and we're trying a new tack-fighting back with fly sheets! The horse flies here are huge & leave nasty welts. The long-acting repellent lasts about a week for most flies and a tad longer for ticks. The new sheets we scored are looking pretty spiffy, but who knows if they'll survive our horses' shenanigans? Gracie's got the older, stiffer mesh look locked down, Solly's going for the zebra stripe look, and Abby's sporting teal southwest style - hopefully, she'll get a little sun protection out of it, too - that zinc cream doesn't last a minute on her bum!

Casually considring leasing two mares for breeding with our stallion. Appaloosa( sport type), Thoroughbred, and Warmblood breeds preferred. Mares should not be closely related to our stallion J.S. Great Spot.Breeding would be by spring 2025, and mares will be returned, in foal, to their owners after weaning the 2026 foal. We are in central Kentucky. Any mare owners intersted in such an arrangement?

Freckles and Grace had their ultrasounds today....both are in foal to Hollywood Hot Spot! We are so excited to be having foals again! These will be the first foals to be bred & born in Kentucky.

Both the girls are ready! Semen requsted from Hollywood Hot Spot for insemination tomorrow.

28/04/2024

Well, my best intentions of volunteering at the 3 day this week went in the toilet..er breeding shed ... my 2 mares came in heat this week & we've spent mornings at the vet for their ultrasounds....both have developed follicles slowly, so I'm hoping they kept to the pace & haven't sped up over the weekend. Hopefully they are ready for a semen shipment from Hollywood Hot Spot on Monday.

While I'm still getting back to physically able to ride again, I'm working on the ranch landscaping. Thanks to Jerome from last Friday's square dance! If he hadn't been 'slumming' from his usual contra dancing I wouldn't have been offered an extra 3 spirea bushes he'd dug for his wife( turned out to be 13 root clumps) that are now gracing tbe slopes outside the arena.

We have retired JAS About Time, Hotshot's dam, from breeding- time just got away from me with the move. I took her in with another mare I planned to breed to an outside stallion and she's gotten to the stage in life where she'd need a Caslick to hold a pregnancy, and I won't do that to her. I thought she was only about 20, but looked at her papers and she's 24! The lady still looks great and she'll get to move on to grandmama duty as we'll put her daughter Amazing Grace in her stead. Video is of Abby and Grace when Grace was a weanling, what seems like yesterday.

Annemieke Buis is getting to know Gracie. She will be picking up her training, hopefully about where Jamie Bonovitz left off a year or so ago in Idaho.

Romy had a good lesson on Solly yesterday, working on extending, collecting & stretchy trot. He's getting closer to trusting her.

I don't know if this is a normal year, but the horses are still grazing pasture. I like it!

My new arena is in, lacking only the fence paint when the boards are ready. Freckles & I had a good 15 minute walk around it, only my 3rd time in the saddle since breaking my pelvis in 2020. This time I didn't have too much stiffness or any muscle spasms. And only mild increase in pain when I asked for a leg yield on my side with the healed breaks. Progress!

The footing is going into the arena!

the girls tried out the new dtalls today. Gracie & Freckles approved the training stalls, Phil & Abby were not so happy with the foaling stalls, but Abby should change her mind and like the privacy when the time comes

It was 29 degrees at 5 pm while I fed horses tonight...I don't think we've had 4" of snow & a hard freeze this early in the 31 years we've lived here. The horses aren't fuzzed up & the landscape has way too much foliage.

Hotshot had a nice work today with Jamie Bonovitz

Miss Godiva is making wonderful progress with Jamie, even did a flying change for her!

I may have forgotten my phone for video of Sugar Bear's first walkabout with Jamie on Monday, but I didn't forget it today, for the second walkabout, plus trot and canter!😁

but Hotshot is really a star pupil

so pleased with Jamie's work starting my youngsters for me this year! This was about the 3rd time she's been on Hotshot's back- 7/11

first free jumping session of 2018, and Godiva's first ever

and this is Godiva. She was more chill about the horse ball's appearance.

George accidentally recorded Godiva's new video over the footage of May Slaughter's youngster at the Boise River Dressage show sport horses in hand class- sorry May!- and the first leg of Hotshot's go around the triangle for the judge. I was so proud of my boys- I wasn't planning to show them this year but hauled them out of the pasture 2 weeks ahead of the show when entries were down. They behaved themselves so well!
