Sending our mare to be bred

Cookie

Cookie

Let me first say I never have won anything big in a raffle drawing. Last year my luck changed and at the Midwest Horse Fair I won a breeding to a handsome stallion for our mare. So today we took our mare, Cookie, to the stable where she will be staying in order to be bred. Poor Nick (my gelding) was upset when we loaded her and drove off. Tonight he is pretty quiet but when we let him in he was looking for Cookie in all of the other stalls. Pathetic….

Here is the stallion Cookie is being bred to.
Here are some candid photos of Ohbee.

The stable is very nice and Cookie should be very comfortable there. She seemed quite calm when we left. Ed, Ohbee’s owner, was very gracious and showed us his offspring from last year (3 fillies, all very nice) and his other horses while we were there. Temperaments are sweet and I especially love the head on one of them, Luci, absolutely gorgeous head and neck. We look forward to a beautiful (or handsome) foal in late April, 2010.
