Re: [RC] A JOYFUL DAY long with questions - Barbara MoultonI didn't have the strength to do the whole ball of wax restraint thing with her as I have bad legs and was really hurting still from Joy's little morning adventure. I knew done wrong would cause bigger problems down the road so I just rubbed all four legs handled her ears gave her lots of little scratches which she loved and let it go at that. (My mare I had as a teenager dropped a surprise foal on us a month after I bought her and little Hobo wasn't imprinted in 1972 and he lived at a boarding stable and only was messed with on weekends and turned out great) the rest of that day and yesterday and now today I offer a scratch or two when she comes to me but give Joy all the rest of my attention. She was pooping without straining before Joy even got up, which was a relief as the one thing Ididn't have yet in my foal kit was the fleet enema, of course I didn't even have time to go get it and everything went so smooth I didn't have time to get nervous- Joy is a born mom- the filly was drinking water and snitching safe choice feed from mom this am and along with her pooping prodigy she seems a natural for endurance. I have been sent some wonderful baby pictures that show how much the color can change so I am waiting on the "registered name" but my latest brainstorm this AM was Suhr Shines like Summer- which would work no matter what color she ends up. ( I had a different name which incorporated sure spelled like Suhr and Julie had already given me her blessing to use it- that was when I was expecting a black or at least dark bay Wizard look alike to name She's Suhr Impressive- This little sweety doesn't look like either parent so she needs an original name just for her. Barbara, Joy ( hey that's my food)and baby thanks everybody for advice and pictures My pictures are coming s soon as my digital camera gets out of the shop for a jammed telephoto lens __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
