We had a pretty discouraging day but at least had some good news to go with the bad. Velvet is in foal so we will place her for sale. Samantha lost her foal at Middle Grove. She is in season now. Dr. Hoerr was out today to collect Raven and AI 2 outside mares so we had a good talk about her. As Samantha settles easily, actually she has always gotten pregnant the first time we breed her, he felt we should rebreed her,then pamper her throughout her pregnancy. Dr. Hoerr checked her over and there is just no good reason for her to abort. Samantha would be great for someone wanting to try embryo transplant as she is very fertile. I guess we will breed her and place her for sale for $5000.00. Someone is going to get a bargain!
Lily got her staples out and we can now stop the sulpha and the belly band but we still have to leave her in a stall for a couple more weeks. She still has a lot of edema and may have herniated, just have to wait to see about that. Steven had a very busy day, he went out early and had the mare shed cleaned out before I got there. I still have a wet spot, but we had 2 inches of rain in about 40 minutes with the last storm and it pooled at a low spot. I will need to haul in lime and fill it in.
