Breeding Saga (Part 1 Million)

Spoiler Alert: Majority Not Pregnant

OK, so if you're keeping up with this sh*t storm that is me attempting to make epic horse babies in 2017, here's the count:

Sangria
Attempted AIs: 3
Positive Ultrasound Results: 0
Attempts With Real Live Stallion: 1
Positive Unltrasound Results: 0

4 tries / 0 success

So I moved my original breeding to Sempatico for Sangria to Piper, my awesome Paint mare and we tried her:

Piper
Attempted AIs: 1
Positive Ultrasound Results: 0

1 try/o success

Granted this is a one try deal but I'm not going to try again until maybe the spring and honestly, Piper is a blast to ride and I'd rather keep her as a sales horse and enjoy her until the right person comes along.

Feina
Attemped AIs: 3
Positive Ultrasound Results: 2
Reabsorptions: 1 (Boo)

Currently waiting for her 2 week check up to see a heart beat so until then I'm pretty meh about the whole thing.

STAY IN THERE NUGGET

OK, so what does this all mean?

Well first, I should have just bought a damned baby horse really.  Whatever.  My mares can all get pregnant except Sangria at this point, so that's a good thing.  It also means if Feina keeps this baby (don't you dare eat it this time mare!) that we'll be skipping breeding her NEXT year as it'll be stupid late and pick her up in Spring 2019 so we can be on a sane schedule.  At least that's what I'm thinking right now but wtf, really.

Sangria.  Oh Sangria.  She's gorgeous, she's sweet, she's going to make some pretty babies if SHE'D EFFING GET PREGNANT.  Her cycles have been wonky and adding in the Lutalyse has rocked her world so at this point we might be doing a half hearted attempt with the live stallion but really, I'm going to be picking her up in the next week, throwing her in the paddock, and ignoring her until I'm emotionally ready to even think about it.

Piper, well, I'm going to ride her or have Sarah ride her and things.  I'm trying hard to line her up for some dressage shows, but the power pony is such fun at eventing that we may hit a few schooling trials for fun.  I dunno.  I'm not in charge of this train sometimes.

I was going to not think about baby horse anything but Sarah (who's 19 year old maiden mare is totally preggers and loving it at the house) was asking me about 2018 plans for her mare's stallion and so now I'm hunting around figuring out things I'd love to see her crossed with.  I may not be able to get my mares knocked up reliably, but I'll help other people do it!

Basically what Sarah wants me to make. nbd
