A couple of months ago I made the decision to breed Draper. I am still not comfortable riding her so instead of worrying about riding I thought I might just breed her and at least she would be doing something. Next came trying to find a stallion. I wanted to breed her to a paint since she is a registered solid paint and I didn’t want to have to deal with shipped semen. So that meant something not too far away.
And look what I found just 5 minutes away. My farrier that drives right past this farm every day didn’t even know there was a stallion there. I liked that he has such a calm laidback temperament. Draper spent a month there. I just has her ultrasounded Friday.I’m sure you can’t tell anything from the picture but it was in the title, disappointment, not pregnant. Looks like I will have to get an earlier start next year.
Well darn! Hope she catches next time. Looks like that stallion will be homozygous for colour, judging from the "cat tracks" that are a tell tale.
ReplyDeleteThe stallion seems quite striking. Disappointing but at least you know he is close.
ReplyDeletedang! It was a funny year for breeding, for us here too. I had high hopes for an Andee Beamer cross, but Silly Andee wouldn't give Mr handsome the time of day
