Our Friesian Stallion Raven's 2009 Season


After driving home from the funeral and hearing from Sarah about the Transport company picking up Meike, it was time to head down to work. Today was another day to run financials such as credit card payments and our twelve months same as cash at Meister HVAC. We don't run the payments through until the job is finished.
After work, I started on Raven's records. He had a moderately busy year, covering 28 mares. The calendar was gone through writing down what mare was covered on what day and when she would be due in 2010. Amazing to me is that Raven's first foal of 2010 is due January 13th, only a month away! The mare is Clara our Cremella Tennessee Walker. This is the very FIRST time we have tried for color. We are trying for a buckskin foal and have a wonderful chance of actually getting it. Clara crossed with a black can only throw a buckskin or a smokey black.
I will need to order a few new foal predictor kits.
Today we had a warming spell, it is up to 32 degrees. Warmer weather makes it easier to fill the water tanks, feed the foals, and move in bales.
