"All horses deserve, at least once in their lives, to be loved by a little girl." -Unknown
Hey y'all, just to start out I want to say thanks to those that are coming to my site and reading my blogs! Also I have started to learn how to make a macramé scarf out of baling twine and hope to have some pictures for you soon. Now, because I left out some of the story of Sanny and Rosa, I want to fill you in by telling you the rest of the story of Rosa's birth.
After I learned that Sanny was to have a baby I prayed almost continuously for it to be a filly. However according to Angela and Grandma Jan, the way she was carrying the baby, they thought it to be a colt. (I never gave up that it was a girl.) In the last few days that Sanny was pregnant, we (Angela and I) stayed in Plummer and would check on her about every 2-3 hours to see if we could catch her giving birth. Now the biggest reason that we did that was because she never gave birth in the daylight and she didn't like an
audience. Also, she typically foaled a couple of weeks early, but with her more advanced age, we were worried she could have complications. So, we nearly camped out, keeping a vigil because I wanted to see her give birth. Well, as time went on, it was time for me to go to my Mom's for the weekend, also the weekend that Grandma and Grandpa Z were to have a clinic at the farm. I didn't want to leave Sanny, but Angela stayed on the farm to keep an eye on her and to help with the clinic. By this time, Sanny was getting close to being nearly two weeks overdue!
The weekend was coming to an end and it was Sunday. I was to go back to Dad's at 6 and I WANTED to see my horse. As it happened Sanny held out a couple more days and gave birth in broad daylight during the lunch break at the clinic on Sunday (without ME)! For the first time ever, Angela was able to aid Sanny in her birth by literally catching Rosa and in front of everyone at the clinic. I was so bummed out, but too excited to be very sad. I knew that the first two things I was going to do were play with the little baby and ride Sanny just as soon as possible. Even though I didn't get to see her born, Rosa was the greatest gift ever. If you go to my pictures, you will see one with me and Angela holding the new little filly. Even though I was in a skirt and flip flops, I still had to see my babies.
