Hello everyone! I recently was looking around the Breeding forum on Horse Grooming Supplies Horse Forums, and was struck with an idea: Post a detailed blog on breeding my mare, from start to finish. Another forum member also suggested I keep a tally of the vet bills and other costs as well, so that newcomers to the genetics lottery will know what to expect, and what they're getting into.
So, without futher ado, I give you FOAL NEWS! This blog will follow my lovely, awesome, hot, totally kick-butt mare, Lexi, on her way through gestation and motherhood.
This hot number on the left is Lucks Hint Of Hostage, a 1997 Tobiano Paint stallion. He is the 1999 Champion of Champions, a Supreme Champion, Open Show Winner, has his ROM in Halter and Color, and is the sire of a breed association Top Ten World Champion. He is owned by Steve and Lori Brock, and is standing at Peacock Equine Reproduction Center in Morley, MI.The type of breeding we will be using is Artificial Insemination, and all breeding and care procedures will be carried out by Kern Road Veterinary Clinic in Fowlerville, MI.
Now this good looking girl on the right is my darling Lexi, or Top Of The Times, a 1990 own daughter of Scotch Bar Time. She is an Appendix Quater Horse, has points in AQHA, and is an Incentive Fund and NSBA money earner. She has been bred before, but unfortunately concieved twins and was not checked in time to save one of them. One sibling died in utero, poisoning the other and causing them both to be born too early. Hopefully we can avoid that heartbreak this time by doing a 15-day and a 30-day ultrasound post insemination to check for twins.
There you have it. Stay tuned for more updates! :)
