First of all congratulations to Lynda on your foal. I checked out your
web
site and it sure is cute!!
Frida gave us a nice healthy colt this morning. Actually I found it this
morning when I went to the barn. Last night she had no milk or enlarged
udder
at all - just some edema in front of the udder which started a week ago.
She's always foaled 2 - 4 weeks after her due date and always between 5:30
P.M. and 10:30 P.M. so even though she was 15 days past her due date I
really
never suspected a new addition this morning. Anyway he is nice and healthy
and so is Mom so I can't ask for anything more than that.
We have always fed alfalfa hay (it's what we grow). I feed 1st cutting in
the
morning and 3rd in the evening and we never have "hay bellies". Our horses
do
very well with Strategy and the alfalfa hay. Frida's now 23 years old and
obviously doing well also. We just adjust amounts fed to age of horse.
Young
and very old get a bigger quantity of hay than the others and pasture is
limited in the summer.
Sounds like Carole has the manure management under control. We spread it
on
our fields and have never fertilized with commercial fertilizer. Seems to
work well.
Will be nice to see everyone is Galena. I hear there is over 100 people
signed up at this time. Can't wait!
Nancy
