Well homeward bound this week..hoooray!!

For reasons only known to Miss Busy Bee, Belle is not pregnant this year. She decided NOT to get in the mood when she should have so we are waiting for next year.

Belle should be hitting a Michigan bound trailer within the next three days, then we'll have daily updates on how we are doing, new photos (excuse the punk hairdo for her LOL, HER style, not mine lol)

In the Mood Juice ONBOARD!

Sorry, not trying to be gross haha. Got a call from Texas, Belle got a shot of some mood juice to help her get back on track and into her heat cycle. There was some weird cold weather and all the mares were thrown off guard.

Other then that no new news to report...we hope she'll come into full raging "Where's the man at??" mode by next week's end. Cross your fingers...we want that girl preggers and getting ready to come home !

I'll tell you what, we end up with a foal half as elegant as Summer's Thee Temptress I'll be happier than a pig in errr...well YOU know!

Long time, no updates....lol

I haven't really updated Belle's blog since there hasn't been really any news to speak of...she's still doing great, just not really "in the mood" for love if you know what I mean ;)

That's something we really want her to be and quickly...I don't mind a June foal, but no later then that. If she's bred this month she'll have a May baby next year. Once she returns from Texas expect regular updates...I'll probably restrict most Belle related news here, so that way people that don't want to read me oooing and ahhing over every little pregnancy change won't have to LOL. Those that do, will know where they can find everything from weight changes, to mood swings....

Haha...I'll be living vicariously through my horse's pregnancy.....now we just have to GET her pregant...lol...and for that to happen, she really does have to be in the mood. MARES! Sigh.


Happy Trails!

Belle Updates

Well Belle went to see Dr. Dennis on Wednsday
Had to have her girlie examination for breeding
Poor baby, she came home to Southwind all bowlegged LOL
Next month, all things going the way they should Miss Bizzy Bee is going to be bred to the handsome Lost!
Remember I told you a little about the Prince of the Princess Diaries?
Here's the kind of beautiful baby he sires:

The Temptress:

As you can see she is very pretty. I am hoping when we go down to TX to visit before Belle's return home that we'll get some new pics of Lost's daughter!

We have decided on the maternity/foaling home for Belle...once she is safely in foal we are shipping her just north of us to Rooker Training Center, in Fenton, Michigan.

They have great facilities, an on staff vet and farrier and also a broodmare/foaling manager. All huge pluses. I think I'm going to ask them if I can foal watch with thier manager a few times to get the hang of things! I know I am welcome when Belle's time comes ...I don't think there will be enough tissues in the world really lol.

A favorite family photo taken by a great photographer, Caryn Henry, of Wisconsin:


And one more pic of The Apostolos, dear Belle's soon to be "husband" heehee, with his owner, Summer of Southwind Arabians :-)


AS you can see this should be a very pretty foal in 2007! :-)

TaTa for Now
