I have been inspired by my daughter Nikki who also is a Mary Kay Consultant, but her primary mission in life is serving our country in the US Navy. Thank you very much in advance for your support. I hope you will pass this on to family and friends. The funds I earn from the sale of these products will go toward the needs of all our horses.

The Name that Foal Poll for Jerri 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!

Nellie - Wednesday late evening

The decision has been made to take Nellie to the Desert Pine Equine Hospital in Las Vegas tonight. The on-call vet there said they would want to give her IV fluids to super hydrate her, a belly tap to try to get a better idea of what's in there, possibly an ultrasound, re-tubing her and repeating some of what's already been done. Since we are going on 5 days now time is of the essence, she stressed hydration is very very important for this type of colic. A 24 hr watch and treatments would be $1500-2000, with half down at admission, $1000.

We are going to try to load her. We're not sure what her attitude will be.

edited to add that Nellie loaded onto the trailer without problem. The ride will take approximately one hour.
