Fergie is home and pregnant!

and she looks wonderful. Freespirit Farms took GREAT care of her... so now the count down... August 18, 2010 seems like such a loooong time away!

She finally arrived!

Went to pick up our new pony Saturday. To keep with our movie/rock star names we will call her Ginger (Rogers)... and she is so elegant and sweet I think it suits her perfectly... WHAT a pretty girl... kinda a QH/Arab/Pony cross...

She fit right in with everyone EXCEPT Sporty Spice who seems to think she has to protect HER mare herd???!!! Anyway... Sporty is in time out and her only company for the next few weeks is Ginger.. LOL.. so its learn to love your sister!!! or be lonely! LOL...

Not much going to happen this week pony wise... we are getting ready for a big barrel race in Kissimmee and will be gone for the weekend so hubby will have pony feeding duty for a couple days while I am away...

Updates... new ponies.... pregger ponies....

I was spending time with Juliette last night and there is just no doubt she is preggers... I was rubbing and hugging that tummy!! I'm gonna be a grannie pony!! I can't wait... wonder what it will look like... cute I am sure!!! Look at that baby bump!!!

Sporty Spice had her feet trimmed the other night. She was such a lady. I had only picked up her feet once since she came here so I wasn't sure what to expect. She was an old pro. I also spoke to the lady who owned her as a yearling. She raises POA's and I was excited to make that contact. Gonna go up to visit her farm and see her ponies in a couple months. Sporty Spice will now be registered in my name and I was pleased about that!!

Saturday we get to go pick up the new pony!!! YEA!!! a beautiful little sorrel girl... I can't wait to meet her. She sounds like she will fit in here perfectly!!!

Paris is just growing up for now and Fergie has ONE WEEK left before we preg check her... oh please, please, please, please!!!

Got a barrel race Saturday night so I don't know how much "pony wrangling" I will get to do this weekend... perhaps Sunday I can get Sporty out some for some driving and the such.

Pony Rides!!!

Big steps this weekend... I sat on Sporty Spice after driving a while... she was an angel... I think she is about over her silliness with the little bucking. She is doing so great and I am very proud of her... AND... Juliette even gave me a short ride from the pasture to the barn! LOL... I jumped on bareback with her halter and off she went... didn't want to stay on her long because she is still gaining weight but she was so good and it was fun to have that short ride... I love that little pony!

Paris is just growing up some more. She is only 2 remember so we have plenty of time to start her... she is funny though... comes running to you when she sees you in the pasture... she is always ready to go to the barn for munchies!

Fergie has been bred and we will know around Sept. 24 if she is pregnant... OH PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE!!!

Shoot... I even rode the big horses this weekend! I've about retired them... LOL... all I seem to care about are the ponies... hehehe.

Driving and owie tummies

Sporty Spice got driven tonight. She did great... neither one of us had ever driven or been driven but I sure liked it... got her whoa-ing and turning and backing... I think the buck string will be able to be retired in a few more workouts.

Juliette had a gassy tummy tonight. She is learning to deal with grass after having no grass for so long... but a little oil and water pumped down her and a few laps on the walker and she was pooting up a storm and feeling better and better.

Fergie news

YEA! Fergie has been bred... now just a waiting game to see if she took... got my fingers and toes crossed!

Saddle Time

EEEEveryone got saddled this weekend... EVEN JULIETTE! she did-nt care... and she was so dang cute in her little saddle... hmmmm... I need to go buy her a pony sized pad though. Scratchy wants to keep Juliette for a pet so what Scratch wants

Scratch gets... (and look at that tummy in the px... I think she DOES have a bun in the oven!)

Paris is about ready to jump on and ride... just want her to start packing a bit a little better... so we are a few weeks out on that... plus I am concentrating on the Evil Twins getting them ready for a show the end of the month.

Sporty Spice is still wearing her buck string... but she is starting to waiver... she just needs to carry a saddle around for a month or so... needs to go on the hot walker, be ponied, just get her ok with that durn tight girth!!! She loaded in the trailer just fine today.. .but found out she's not too fond of a welding maching... hehehehe...
