Breeze and Star

I finally got the video of Star having her baby ready for posting and found that it was too big to post on my blog. I was able to post it on my Facebook page. It can be found on Country Dreams Farm. You can also become a fan of the farm while you are there.

We measured Breeze today and she is 2.5 inches taller than she was when she was born almost 3 weeks ago now. What an experience she has been! She is very friendly.

We had 2 baby goats born this weekend. Jesse was bred to a LaMancha and had 2 females who have the signature ears. They are doing well and are quite cute.

Foal's Name

We finally have a name for our new baby. Dad's name is Spring Water Leo, Mom's name is Redford Hill Star. So baby is Star's Spring Breeze. We will call her Breeze. She is getting so big. Her front teeth are just beginning to come through the gums. She tries to chew on everything including us. I will post new pics soon. It was so windy today and rainy yesterday that I didn't really want to have to take pics. I think I can get some tomorrow.

We will be at Parker Family Maple Farm this weekend doing rides. Weather is looking cold but sunny. I can deal with that...beats the rain we had last weekend.

Star foaling (finally)

It's a girl!! She was born Friday night at about 9:00. Star was 3 hours from being pregnant for a whole year. She had a big beautiful girl. We had been putting her in the barn every night for the last month and last night was no exception. When we went to the barn at 8pm to check on her and feed her she was soaked in sweat and didn't want to eat. We were pretty sure we were going to get a baby. Made a few calls, got my towels and camera and waited for just a little while. Pretty soon her water broke and everything went pretty smooth. We helped her a little but she did all the work. We have had a lot of company here today to see the foal. We haven't named her yet but will keep all posted.

I will include a picture today but will post the birthing video soon.
