Gotta Spendit Comes Home!
Ξ January 13th, 2008 | → Comments Off | ∇ Around The Farm |
Gotta Spendit arrived home Sunday morning from her visit to Illinois. She had been leased to a sport breeder for the year, but unfortunately aborted a big healthy colored foal at 7 months into term. The vet had no explanation for what appeared to be a completely normal foal out of a completely normal mare. Echo was current on her vaccines and rhino boosters, and the pregnancy appeared to be progressing normally, until one day it just wasn’t.
We figure things happen for a reason, and we’re actually kind of happy to have this girl home. She’s a very special girl, and she’s a lot of fun to have around. Her pasture antics are always funny, and she’s always the first one at the gate to say hello when you get home from work.
We’ll be starting her under saddle in 2008. This past year she went around the corner from being a filly to being a mare, and her mind and body appear to have matured to the point where she’s mentally ready to start a real job. We’ll keep everyone posted on how that goes.
