So everyone in the horse industry is currently a little worried. We are seeing a break out of Equine Herpes Virus Myeloencephalopathy (EHV-1). Down in colorado they have even closed down Equine schools to outside mares. There was an event in Claresholm where after the first day they had to cancel it as the horses were becoming so ill. In alberta there have been over 150 cases and 15 horses have died from it so far. Most people are keeping their horses on voluntary quarantine if they start to show symptoms. It probably is going to result in a severe decline in our business, which isn't a good thing. But like everythin else in life we just gotta keep on going! Right?
Anyways. We have got some suuuper cute babies. This guy Rio, was born on satuday night at about 3:30 am. He was only about 6 hours old when he is born. And i've fallen in love as soon as i saw this guy! <3
Now he is very tall and just an overall good looking colt. There are so many this year that i would love to just buy and take home with me. Alas... I must face reality. Money...its just not there.
Here is an awesome picture of me and Stitch (because when you look so close at her blazes there is a tiny white line which connect them. hence Stitch) . Shes a cute little darling. I really love he mom echo too. Man I just LOVE my job <3
So we finally decided on a name for Cheater's baby, Gambler. we love that name and him =D
Well i'll try and be a little more regular on my posts, but work can be super tiring. Like i've been up since 5:45 and had a mare alarm with 4:45. so sleep didn't really happen last night. once 3 am rolled around i was tossing and turnin, wakin up every few minutes or so. Yah i'm a little tired. soo night yall.



Gambler is GORGEOUS!!!
