kay, kay, kay…..we don’t need to wish you luck. you come with your own luck, 
and a lot of it.

i have seen your pix of the little diva, and i am glad the boys are learning 
their proper status when a queen shares their pasture. with a flick of an ear, 
she will turn them into serfs, ready to do any small thing she demands of them. 
they will discover the grass is HER grass….likewise HER hay……….HER treats, etc. 
they will defer to her wishes or pay dearly for it.

well, actually once they realize she is the top of the heap, there is no need 
for dominance. skylar (short round) needs merely to flick an ear and the two 
geldings she is out with (not fjords, i know…..she must suffer with sub 
standard room mates) bow to her prominence.

the last time she went through her royal cycle, which i would never have known 
she had, the minions in her pasture and the next one circled around her to pay 
their respects, sniffing with great reverence. she stood silent and regal for 
their admiration, while they giggled and goggled like young school boys in love.

skylar sends singer the best wishes, knowing she has a great realm to watch 
over with braveheart and bogie.

Well, believe it or not, when my old Bjarne joined Stella, He became the
dominant one and ruled the realm for years until his decline when the young
mare Adel knocked him down. She had been trying to take over for a long
time. I had to separate him, even tho he had been her Hero for years,
protecting her from Stella!  He died at age 36. Stella still ruled but was
declining herself  at the age of 35.  Stella was having problems with her
Hind quarters and Adel started harassing her, finally knocking her down and
i separated her then. She finally had to be put down at age 36!.  Meanwhile
through all these years, Big Bjorken my 15-2 hand gelding , Stella's son,
was the mild mannered underling and still is in my little herd of two!

Oh,BTW, we are having a lovely mild winter so far Interior Alaska, with
balmy ( for Fairbanks) temperatures and little snow!  Dog Mushers and Snow
machiners and Skiers don't like it though!  LOL

I am SO JEALOUS of you . . . a 5 month old, a girl, what a BLAST!

I once bought a baby horse too, and now he is 17 years old. I wish I could
start all over again with a sweet baby, I'd be a better mom now, although
he didn't turn out too bad!

Enjoy, enjoy! just don't let her become the boss of you!!!
