Spooner Update ❤️

Spooner is doing well and healing nicely. We still have a long road ahead of us, but he’s making progress every day and we’re happy with how he’s doing.

This handsome boy is growing up beautifully and is turning into quite the youngster. He’s got the size, the attitude, and the looks to make a really nice horse. At this rate, he just might end up being my next riding horse!

For a c**t that has already overcome some challenges, he’s showing us exactly what determination looks like. We can’t wait to watch him continue to grow and see what the future holds for this special boy. 🐴💕

Miss Classy is officially past her SAFE date! 🎉

This baby can arrive anytime now, and trust me, we’re watching her like hawks. She’s getting checked multiple times a day to make sure we don’t miss the big event.

We haven’t started testing her milk pH yet because she isn’t showing enough of the other signs that foaling is imminent. Being a maiden mare, she may not follow the textbook anyway, so we’re keeping a close eye on her and letting her tell us her own timeline.

The countdown is officially on! Who thinks Classy will keep us waiting, and who thinks she’ll surprise us with a middle-of-the-night foal watch? 🐴💕⏰

Miss Izzy is an overachiever. 🤦‍♀️

Year 1 – unfortunately aborted her foal.
Year 2 – gave us Spooner. ❤️
Year 3 – stayed open and wouldn’t catch.
Year 4 – decides to be pregnant with TWINS. 👯‍♀️

Today our vet had to perform a twin reduction (“pinch” one embryo). Now we’re saying a few extra prayers that the remaining baby sticks around and grows into a healthy foal.

For those who aren’t horse people, hearing “twins” usually sounds exciting. In horses, it’s actually the opposite.

🐴 Why don’t we want twins in horses?

Unlike many animals, mares are designed to carry one foal at a time. Their uterus and placenta simply aren’t built to support two growing babies. When twins are present, they compete for space and nutrients, which often leads to serious complications.

Some of the risks include:
• Abortion of one or both foals during pregnancy
• Premature birth
• Weak, undersized, or non-viable foals
• Difficult delivery (dystocia)
• Retained placenta and other complications for the mare
• Increased risk to the mare’s health and future fertility Higher chance of the mare dying during birth

The good news is that when twins are detected early, veterinarians can often reduce the pregnancy to a single embryo, giving the remaining foal the best possible chance at developing normally.

So while pinching a twin is never an easy decision, it is often the safest and kindest option for both the mare and the surviving foal.

Please send Miss Izzy all the sticky baby vibes, prayers, and positive thoughts that this little one hangs on and gives us a healthy foal next spring. ❤️🐴🙏🏻

Note. Yes sometimes you see twin foals born on social media it can happen. What you don’t see is all the mares and foals lost with a twin pregnancy. We are NOT willing to risk Izzy

🎶 I like big butts and I cannot lie 🎶 🍑🐴

The handsome boys are enjoying a fresh new bale and looking pretty pleased with themselves about it too. They are growing, maturing and filling out more every single day.

✨ Cruiser — MPH CRIMINAL BOOTS - the young stud with the movie star looks and the sweet personality to match. Quiet, respectful and built like an athlete.

🔥 Rhett — NO REGRHETTS - all confidence and charisma. He knows he’s handsome and carries himself like a king.

🌼 Preacher — CHE MAJOR IMAJORNATION -the gentleman of the bunch. Kind eyed, well mannered and always happy once snacks are involved.

🤠 Sawyer — JOURNEY GUYS TEQUILA - this boy with the big build and laid back attitude. Just out there enjoying life one bite at a time.

Safe to say the boys are looking pretty darn good these days ❤️

Now it’s Preacher’s turn for the spotlight ✨

He’s had an outside mare visiting for the last couple weeks and he has been such a good boy through it all. A total gentleman with this sweet little red head ❤️ Always respectful, easy to handle and happy to do his job.

Of course, in true Preacher fashion, once work was done he got rewarded with some tasty grass and plenty of dandelions 🌼🐴 Living his best life.

Milly Mae is all about the cuddles 💕 Even out in the pasture she comes running over for attention and scratches. She’s got such a sweet personality already.

And can we talk about that hip and butt definition 👀🔥 This girl is put together so nicely already. She’s growing into a fancy little lady with both looks and personality.

The last 4 days have been busy around here breeding a couple of mares with Preacher and Cruiser. I am beyond impressed with how well behaved these two boys have been through it all. They’ve both been gentle and respectful with the mares, and honestly just so easy to handle. Makes me incredibly proud of these young stallions.

Cruiser got rewarded with some tasty grass this morning after his work was done, and I couldn’t resist snapping a few photos of him out in the dandelions. Safe to say he was feeling pretty pleased with himself. 🌼🐴
