Good Morning Everyone,
I hope that this finds everyone doing well this Sunday morning. I hope that our friends and supporters on the East Coast are staying warm.
Well, yesterday was the coming out party for Spirit who 8 weeks ago was gelded. He was quite the rowdy little guy to finally have someone to play with. He lost his mind a couple of times but regained his composure and drove Baby B nuts. However, she survived his playing. He was placed back in his play area for the night and fed by himself, which suited both of them. The other reason for placing him back is so that he did not try and eat her food as well.
This is the fourth day that the BBGs (Apple and Jerri) have been in what has fondly been named by Bev Young, "The Ladies Parlour." They are doing great, there have been no battles whatsoever over the fence with any member of the football team. They have settled in and there is harmony amongst the ranks. Both the girls are quite relaxed in their surroundings, which is so nice to see.
There is still no news as to the arrival date of FAITH. We are standing by. Her stall is ready and we just need our new Mama-to-be to arrive.
There will be a second camera put up on the ranch. This camera will give a view of the football field and the Ladies Parlour. It will be on Ustream and will be its own separate show as well as have its own chat. The primary cam will be focused on the Doc Wilbur Maternity Wing, so we can all begin foal watch 2009. Remember to have plenty of coffee, snacks and chocolate for those late night viewings. We will be changing the name of this ustream show indicating it to be "FAITH FOAL WATCH 09". Once this has been done the link will be posted on our blog as well as website. We wanted to give you a heads up of the future change.
Otherwise everyone is doing well. Yesterday was the last day of our monthly psyllium regiment for all the horses and all systems are good to go. This is a monthly program of one full week a month that they receive this in order to keep things moving and to remove sand etc from their system.
Many thanks to everyone who has contributed to Doc Wilbur's Medicine Cabinet. Each one of you deserves major kudos for your kindness and generosity for the horses.
We will be conducting a major fundraiser in 2009 when our FOB family arrives for their annual visit. We will keep you posted with details as the time draws near. This should be a great deal of fun as well as very informative for the public.
Again many many thanks to everyone that helps the horses at MHR.
I wish you all a wonderful day.
