The person buying Autumn and Lady contacted me that she has lost her job. Her company is slashing jobs and she is one of the unfortunate casualties of this economy. She has asked me to place both mares back for sale. She is pretty heart broken about this, those girls were her dream. If I don't sell Autumn pretty quickly, I'll probably haul her to Indiana and breed her back to Keegan as her colt by him was spectacular. Lady will be bred to Raven as soon as we catch her in season. She has turned out beautiful with thick feathers and a very majestic look about her. Her foal by Raven should be fantastic and we won't be too disappointed if we can't sell her.
On another note, Salena is bagging up! She may foal out before April 4th afterall. We leave late Friday night on the 3rd and I really didn't want to miss this birth as Salena is a maiden mare.
We tried to breed Jazz today and finally had to give up. She is so worried about her foal that even though she winks and shows she kicks violently at Raven. We had this happen the last time we tried to breed her on her foal heat so hopefully we can catch her on her next heat. Pretty bad when we could not get Raven near her. We had one other mare last year that acted the same. Chiquita would not allow Raven near her on her foal heat but did on a later one.
