Welcome to MHR's Blog

We're taking the plunge into the new year and starting a blog. We hope you'll enjoy seeing frequent updates and photos on the horses you all know and so generously support. We'll also keep you posted on current projects and plans for the future.

The Name that Foal Game is about to begin

The Name that Foal Poll is now closed and we have your picks for names: If it's a colt, it will be Nellie's Dream (barn name Dreamer) and if it's a filly, it will be Nellie's Hope (barn name Hope).

It will depend on colt or filly as to who will be the recipient of the keepsake memory box and the exclusive picture of the baby. Stay tuned!

We will start the poll for Apple soon.

Please note that the poll does not seem to work with Mozilla Firefox, but does with Windows Internet Explorer.

One person, one vote! It may be possible to fool the software (it usually is), but the safest thing is to expect to be able to vote only once per colt and once per filly (per mare).



We also have a separate contest on birth date. See http://forums.delphiforums.com/alexbrown/messages?msg=22324.1 for details on how to stake your date and time.


Thank you!

Tuesday morning

Morrrrrrrrrnnnnnniiiiinnnnnngggggg!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you so much web cam "Night Crew", you're an awesome group who stands vigil over your Jerri..aren't you glad she is getting rest??

All of you are just wonderful to keep watch on her. It is chilly here this morning. We are expecting gusts of up to 50mph today...greeeattt, of course I washed water barrels out.

I spoke out loud last night and stated that this is going to be a special baby. They are all special, but this baby will be a reminder of our Nellie and Lil Angel, this baby will remind us of what Jerri had to endure in her life as well as the PMU mares that are still suffering. These horses were never given a choice. As so many of the horses seen at rescues, they were never given a choice as to the injuries they sustained, they were never given a choice of being sent to auction, they were never given a choice to stop performing for their owners, age just crept up on them and they were no longer wanted. So many excuses.

The FOB's and so many wonderful people across our nation and world are making a difference in these horses lives. You are making the difference in their lives as well as the difference in so many other animals lives. You have love and compassion in your hearts, never lose sight of this because YOU ARE making a difference in the lives of so many. Each of you has touched my heart in your own special way, I may never get to meet all of you, but you have made a difference in my life...so imagine what you have done for the furbabies and your fellow man around the world.

I hope everyone has a wonderful day!

Monday, late afternoon

If you've noticed that the cam is shaking, it is due to the high winds and yucky weather coming in. ROFLMAO, Rob says this is baby-having weather....still roflmao.............I told him we do not even say these words. Jerri really wanted nothing to do with Theresa and me or the carrits. She took two from us but did keep her distance.

Of course I had to toss some to Apple as she was raising such a racket...our BIG DIVA.

As I said the winds have picked up considerably....Mmmmmm could it be Nellie and Lil Angel running through telling Jerri, okay now is the night you are to give me my grandbaby?? I am here for you and we are all watching over you, keeping you safe.

Gosh, I miss Nellie so much, what a horse she was. I know this is to be a joyous occasion, but I think of her soft eyes and the trust she gave us in such a short time. May she forever live in our hearts and give us the strength to fight for other PMU mares!!!!

I am almost finished with my letter to Wyeth about Nellie that I am sending it to them. Maybe it will reach someone who cares. One can only hope.

Monday morning

Morninnnnnng!

Well, at midnight last night, I gave a final check on Jerri and stated, when you are ready come to the door and give a couple of knocks and I'll be there. I did fall asleep but I will admit I woke up several times to take a peek. At one point I said Come On already!!!! Now, I am at the point of, okay have it your way little one, we will be here for you no matter what, however, due to your delay, I can assure you all your Grammies will be a bit bleary eyed due to lack of sleep, and may not want to baby sit you right away....maybe that will work.

It is overcast today, we are not expecting rain, gusty throughout the day and tomorrow and then windy Wednesday and Thursday. It seems everywhere has had some strange weather.

I hope everyones aches and pains are healing. I hope anyone who is feeling blue will be uplifted by a kind word said to them, I hope anyone who may not feel wanted or loved, will receive a hug and told that you are loved, and not only are you needed but you are wanted. I hope anyone that is feeling frustrated that Jerri has not blessed us with her baby will rejoice in the moment he/she arrives and will soon forget the hours of sleep deprivation BECAUSE we have our APPLE still to contend with....LOL

Most of all I wish you all joy, happiness and love this day and everyday!!!

Sunday evening

Howdyeeeeeee!

We had a gathering of moms with Jerri and Apple. We told Jerri it was okay to have her baby anytime she wanted.....wonder if she is gonna listen...NOT!!!! She has been rubbing her stuff, but we have all seen this action before.

Apple is doing so well, I am glad she is gonna give us some time between foalings...lol maybe. Better have lots of carrits for this lovely mama to be will have to feed them to her between pushes.

Jerri enjoyed her spa treatment and is now allowing us to touch her without bribery. Once she relaxes you can see in her eyes that she lubs it very much. It is truly amazing how far she has come, from standing to one side in her stall when she sees you to walking right up. Does the soul good.

I will be watching tonight as every night, but with a significant weather change coming in tonight who knows, could be.

Stephanie

Happy Mother's Day

Happy Mother's Day To All Mommies, Furbaby Ones Included.

I thought for sure last night, but once again I was wrong. Jerri has got me baffled completely. Well we have a few hours of Mother's Day. Let's hope it's today.

It's okay Jerri just let her go!!!!
