Thursday Night Update


We have named Tara's colt "Freelands Fort Knox" and we will call him Knox.  He had  his first day outside today.  The weather was great and he had a ball running and jumping.  Tara was also happy to be outside.  I got a picture of her really kicking her heels up and enjoying herself.
 
Jordan, Polly and Karisma are all about the same tonight as last night.  Jordan's milk calcium test is the highest of the three. She is testing 4.5 out of a possible 5.  The pH is still high on all three. There is a post here on the blog explaining how we test the mares and what we watch for to determine when they are close to foaling.  I certainly hope that Jordan will hold on to her baby for awhile longer. 

Here are a few pictures of Knox today.
 
 
 
Tomorrow should be a really nice day and I'll try to get more pictures.
