Chiquita

Jazz was still not willing, she is so concerned with her foal that I'm thinking it is stopping her from coming into her foal heat. Chiquita was more than willing and was covered this morning. I need to contact her owner to see if he wants her to stay until her sonagram or take her home after she goes out.
I checked on Salena and she is still not bagging up so I think we have some time with her yet. At least her stall is ready. I wanted to do the foal predictor on her but she is not producing enough colostrum to easily do the test.
I met with Jamie at 8:15am to help her take Dakota and Myrrhcedes out of the stall and into the paddock. Myrrhcedes was fine all night in the stall without her mom. She was quiet, and patient while I haltered her. Dakota was not happy last night. She knocked both of her water buckets down, had hay scattered all over the stall and had hit the door enough the latch broke. At least she didn't get the stall door open. Ralph is going to have to fix the latch and they will need to clean the stalls. They way over fed the hay and it is all mixed in with the manure so will be hard to clean. When we put both horses out in the paddock it was funny to see Dakota buck and kick out. We did not know she could get that HUGE rear end in the air!
I'm waiting for Dr. Hoerr's office to call with the time he will be here for the coggins for the colts and flexion test on Pacheron.
Dr. Hoerr came around 10:00am and he LOVED Prince Caspian. He couldn't believe how tall and balanced he was. Both boys were good for drawing their blood for the coggins test. They were both so well behaved.
