This weekend we went to the double show in Hörby - Sweden.
2 shows with 2 different judges, held on the same day.

We brought two of our 3 year old mares hoping for gold medals for their diplomas, and 2 older mares, needing points for their SUCH.
First out was the pink ring with judge Christina Ivarsson.

Our 3 year old filles did very well.
Shady Acres Lullaby was placed 2nd of 8 with 98888 = 41 points and gold. She has now in her first 2 shows, secured her diploma!

Shady Acres Little Lily was placed 3rd, right after Lullaby, with 98787 = 39 points, just 1 point shy of the gold.

The yeld mini mare group was so big it had to be split in two. My 2 mares were both in the first group.

Ilonka v.d. Witsie was placed 1st of 6 with 98889 = points and gold.
She later went on to win Champion Mini Mare and BIS 3
She is now also ready for her SUCH title.

Mogitha v.d. Zandkamp was placed 4th in the same group with 89878 = 40 points and gold.

After lunch it was time for the purple ring with judge Liselotte Erixon.

In this ring Shady Acres Little Lily had a comeback, and won the class with 99798 = 42 points, and later went on to win Champion Mini Filly and BIS 3

Shady Acres Lullaby was placed 3rd in the same group of 8 fillies, with 99778 = 40 points and gold.

For the older mares the roles were also reversed a bit and
Ilonka v.d. Witsie was placed 3 of 6 with 98788 = 40 points and gold.

Mogitha was placed 2nd in the same group with 98888 = 41 points and gold, which was exactly what I was hoping for, since she is now well on her way to her SUCH.
She just has to have 1 x 41 points next year.

We had a great weekend, even if the weather was quite rainy for much of the day, which is also why we haven't mannaged a lot of photos, but at least we got one of Mogitha and Ilonka before the rain started.

At 5.20 am this morning the alarm went of, since Little Mix v. Lovinkbos had decided she did not want to be the only one left without a foal! She still had two and a half week until her due date, and hadn't really bagged up a lot, but I went to the stable and she soon started lying down. She finally started pushing, and again only one foot and the head was foreward! Thankfully I caught it early enough, that it was fairly easy to push the foal back in, find the missing leg, which was bent at the knee and then correct it. After that the foal came very quickly. A big strong black dun c**t foal, by Camilo v. 't Haveld, just like she had last year.
That completes our foaling season with 12 fillies and 9 c**ts ❤️

At around 2 am after sleeping for about an hour, the alarm went on Glossy v.d. Zandkamp, who has been waxed up a bit all day.
I went to the stable, and she soon started foaling. After a few pushes only the head and 1 foot appeared. I checked and found the other front leg bent at the knee.
Thankfully I was able to push the foal back inside and correct the front leg within a couple of minutes, and with just a few pushes from Glossy after that, out came a beautifully marked black tobiano c**t, by Camilo v. 't Haveld ❤️
After 5 minutes, Glossy lay down, pushed the placenta out in 1 minute, and got back up to lick the foal. Nice and easy!
Now a few hours sleep for me hopefully, if I'm not called out for work again 🤞

Yesterday we had a quick trip to Sweden for a Drive In show in Hörby.
I brought Ilonka v.d. Witsie, hoping for the last 41 points for her SUCH; but unfortunately, she had to settle for 40 points this time. She has already been entered in another show in 3 weeks time, so fingers crossed she will secure her SUCH then.
I had also brought three of my 3 year old girls, hoping to collect a few gold medals for the diplomas.
Shady Acres Little Lily had to settle for 38 points and Silver this time, but the other 2 both got their first gold. Shady Acres Lullaby got 88888 = 40 points, and Shady Acres Katniss got 99887 = 41 points. The judge really liked her, but unfortunately she froze when we got in the ring, and refused to trot, so the judge suggested we go home and work on that a bit 🙈

Daisy's little boy is so gorgeous! Can't wait for some sunny weather, so I can get some proper pictures of him!

I just got home from a quick call out to the clinic. When I got back, Shady Acres Darling Daisy had started foaling, and I immediately saw,that something was wrong. Foal presented with one leg turned back. Thats the 3rd one this year!
Thankfully with some help from my daughter Papaya, who I had to drag out of bed, I mannaged with some difficulty, pushing the foal back in, and retrieving the missing front leg. Daisy had a lot of very strong contractions, but after unsuccesfully trying to pull it out with the leg back, I knew I had to correct it first. Thankfully we got to her in time, and could help deliver a big strong and gorgeous bay dun c**t by Camilo v 't Haveld ❤️

On wednesday, Diamora v. 't Terp was showing all the signs of imminent foaling. She had been sporting wax since tuesday morning and by wednesday evening her milk was running!
Last year she foaled, without activating the alarm, which resulted in the loss of a beautiful little buckskin or mushroom bay filly foal, born in the bag.
I was devastated, and refused to let it happen again! This year I kept checking her every 30 minutes, but nothing was happening. She was relaxed and eating.
Finally by 1 am I was exhausted, having not had a lot of sleep the previous night, due to Jamira foaling. I decided to put the alarm on her and sleep for an hour. At 2 am I went yo check on her again, and found her with a beautiful little buckskin filly foal, by Camilo v. 't Haveld. The foal was just starting to try to stand.
Diamora was just standing there, with the foaling alarm, completely relaxed and completely dry! No sweating whatsoever 🙈🤷‍♀️
Well at least we had a live foal this year, abd an extremely beautiful one at that ❤️
Only 3 more foals to go... I think Diamora's daughter Daisy is probably next. Hopefully she won't make me wait too long.

Tuesday I was watching Jamira v.d. Ponydijk like a hawk. Her milk was running like crazy all day, and I knew she could go any minute. She kept me waiting until around ten at night before she finally started.
After she got going things went fast. 3-4 pushes and the whole head was out, including only 1 front leg! I got her on her feet and tried pushing the foal back in, but her contractions were just too powerful!
I changed tactics and let her lie down, and then helped with a small pull, and out came the foal without much effort, with the right front leg stil bent back.
There is certainly a lot of room in this little mare.
She had a big and beautiful bay filly foal by Camilo v. 't Haveld ❤️
After about an hour the placenta has dropped and the foal was on her feet.
The following morning the foal still hadn't figured out nursing. She kept trying to suckle the walls of the stable and her mothers neck. I spent a few frustrating hours trying to help, but no luck. Also Jamira kept wanting to lie down, and seemed a bit colicky.
I gave Jamira pain medicine and did the Madigan squeeze on the foal, and after an hour, Jamira felt a lot better and the foal suddenly knew exactly how and where to nurse! Since then everything has thankfully been perfect ❤️

Last weekend we went to the first show of the season. A local show only about 25 minutes from our place.
I had decided to try out Evian v.d. Vaarhorst for at spin, so see how he reacts to showing. He was quite stressed to be away from home, and his mares, and therefore quite tense, but he still mannaged to charm the judges enough to win Res. Best In Show

Continued update.... so about a week after my horrible weekend of foalings gone wrong and on call work, it was time for the next foal. On may 8th, after driving my daughter to school, I got home and heard the foaling alarm had gone off in my bedroom.
I rushed to the stable, where Once In a Lifetime of Duke Stable, had just given birth to a beautiful little chestnut filly foal, by Olajuwon v. Stal Brammelo ❤️
Thankfully a completely problem free birth, and a very attentive mother!
