We're expecting around 20 this year, first one is due January 1! I'll post pics of all as they're born just like last season!

Haltergirl,

Wow, 20! Is that more than last year? It was fun to see the babies that you posted last year. I also liked how you added growth pictures along the way. Do you have any of last years still around?

I have a mare due in late March early April. You can bet I will be taking lots of pictures.

Yup Belle we have about 12 of last years still around, 4 of them are sold though and we just have them to show for the new owners Last year we had closer to 30 babies. I'll see if I can dig up some current pics.

Bourbon could come live at my barn any time. Very nice indeed! The yearlings that you do keep-- what do you do with them? Show? Try to sell? Breed?

HalterGirl_88 · 12-05-2004, 06:37 AM

We try to sell most of them, a few we keep around specifically to show. But they're all always for sale. If they are still around when they're old enough to breed they are retired from showing get added to the broodmare herd.

belle4 · 12-05-2004, 06:39 AM

So the answer is D. all of the above. Show, sell and breed.
