Moving...

Well, tomorrow Lexi and our other (very pregnant) mare, Tess, are getting a new change of scenery.

We're moving them out to the vet's farm since (1)Tess is having an early January foal and our facilities aren't as well equipped as we hoped they would be and (2)Lexi has started her half-Thoroughbred drop-all-my-weight routine she does every year at the onset of cold weather.

Hopefully, once Lexi's safe and sound and in capable hands, I'll be able to stop giving myself an ulcer over this darn mare.

Almost through the first trimester!!

Here are some pictures from today. Lexi is already getting her winter coat!! Ick. I am so not ready for another Michigan winter...I think I need to move to SoCal!! :p

I'm a little worried about her ribs showing a bit. (Just ask my fellow HGSers. I think I'm going to give myself an ulcer over this. THANK YOU guys for being so patient with me on the forums!) I think I need to pack on a few more calories to her mealtimes. She's a notoriously hard keeper in the winter (she's half Thoroughbred, cut her a break) so I'm thinking I won't be asking too much of her. Just get fat, stay fat, and make the baby fat. That's it Miss Lexi!!

Oh...And ignore the date on that belly pic. I never set the correct date on my camera when I change batteries. It's always January of '06 around here.
