Growing So Fast!

Chrome's almost 6 weeks old already! He has gotten so big and smart! He has had several trips in the trailer already and he hauls great! We also have 8 kittens running around the barn and they are adorable and are starting to find homes that they'll get to go to soon.

Babies Everywhere!

Chrome will be a month old Monday! He is starting to lead better and he lets me hose him off every evening. He has so much personality and is going to be an in your pocket kind of horse! We also had 4 more kittens from our "Tom" cat :)

Brand New

2 Weeks

Chromes 2 Weeks old already! Its amazing and time sure is flying! Wish it would slow down! We also had a few new additions when Ally had 4 kittens too!

It's A Boy!

He finally decided to make an appearance! Monday morning at around 1:30 Dolly started acting funny on the monitor. Lots of pacing and shaving redecorating. She finally went into labor around 2:15 when I heard her water break. Trace had to assist with a little pulling at and 313 we welcomed a sweet little stud colt!

Check out those legs!

Day 330

Still no baby! Dolly spent the day outside though and looked like she enjoyed it but was sure ready to get back to her stall. We wondered if she would have the baby last night while we were under tornado watches! She's holding out though!

Day 329

Dolly is progressing nicely! We should have a baby very soon. She's been "waxed" up for two full days now and her bag is getting huge! Trace put up a baby monitor last night so we can keep an eye on her with out disturbing her. I never knew how noisy they were at night!

Day 326

Dolly got to spend 30 minutes out in the pasture with her BFF yesterday and they enjoyed some of the lovely day! Still no baby but she's dropping more everyday!

Day 315

Its no joke! Today is only Day 315 of Dolly's pregnancy. Google answers says 340 to 360 days is the average.... The suspense is killing me! Last night I told her to please hurry up. I think she agrees with me!

Ready For a Baby Already!!!

What an exciting week at the Hilburn Ranch! Dolly is getting bigger and bigger and hopefully we will have a baby soon! Her teats have dropped and are starting to resemble all the pictures I've googled. :) I just noticed that the only pictures I have of her are her eating or about to eat... hmmm.. Her disposition is normal for her, grouchy and not wanting anyone to touch her.

Dolly Late Pregnancy

On a sad note Sky got hurt Monday morning during the storms and will be taking at least a month off. So Dolly is having to keep her company in the barn to keep her calm and not lonely. She is an amazing patient though!
