2nd halftime!!!

Since yesterday my Bella has officially reached the second halftime of her pregnancy!! Wohooo, time to celebrate! :)

I would like to post some update pics of her now. She has become so furry and her belly really tells you there’s a foal inside now. But unfortunately my job doesn’t allow me to go to the barn before sunset and pics in the dark are not so good. Maybe next weekend. :)

I hope the second half time will work out just as good as the first one. And I hope birth will not be a problem. I’m already having birth-nightmares from time to time as I’ma  bit worried. I guess that’s normal.

She got her hoof shoes back

Weeee, my lady likes to come out of her box again!!! And she loves to buck on the lunge line a bit! I’m glad she’s not having hoof pain anymore. Ich will try again in February or so, when I won’t ride her anymore.

By the way: we’re now in months 6 of the pregnancy! :) Her belly looks sooooo fat, because of the foal and a bit of fat and because of her winter coat. This will be the firstw inter I won’t blanket her. –> Fuzz-alarm! :D

Completely off topic test

Hey guys…. my beloved Vista (no, I’m not kidding, I’d not want to replace this operating system, I love it!) has just updated. And now I got Windows Live writer… I want to see how it works. ^^

Haha, a really stupid test pic of my Bella just about to jawn. ^^

Well…seems to work! :) Nice!

The hoofs are down... :(

Wow bummer.... only 2 weeks since my farrier took the hoof shoes away and now her hoofes are run down so much that she is already really ouchy... :(
She can only hardly walk on hard surfaces. On smooth surfaces it's way better but in trot she's very very ouchy, one could even say lame. :/

My farrier and I didn't expect this. She made great progress last week. I swear, I even got the feeling she was really enjoying her time without hoof shoes! She was very willing to go forward last week, didn't really have problems on hard surfaces and was as relaxed in the back and in her mouth as she has maybe never been in her whole life!!

And this week she began to get more ouchy every day. :( My farrier already checked her. He said it wouldn't be ulcers, but the hoofes looked really run down. We wait until wednesday, just to make sure it's really not ulcers. Then he'll test her again for ulcers and if it's not that, she'll get her hoof shoes back.

Let's try again in spring when I really don't ride her at all anymore. Maybe I was doing too much with her the last 2 weeks because it looked and felt so good first. :(
