New expectations in about a month!!!

Serina is finally starting to show signs of her impending foaling!! I figure based on her pregnancy with Bassira 2 years ago (when she carried for 366 days!) that she should foal about the end of this month or first few days of June!  She is right inline with pics from that  pregnancy too, her belly looks identical, if just a touch smaller this time. She was showing no sign 
at all berfore except some fluid from her udders, then I returned this week from a business trip and all of a sudden she is showing strong!

Serina at 334 days this year!


Still hiding it from the side view!


There's Jr poking out!!

And for those who don't know, Serina is bred to Black. The pics of his previous foals show that he tends to pass on his coloration (Sometimes not quite so dark, but still dark) so we are hopefully looking for a dark bay, with some chrome! He has had sabino foals before, so based on Bassira's almost sabino pattern (I'm pretty sure that came from Serina since her Sire's lines showed no evidence of Sabino), fingers are crossed for a true sabino foal! But regardless the main hopes are for a healthy foal!!! 

Not much else new, was out of town in Las Vegas over the weekend (had some excellent food, & didn't do a bit of gambling!) so didn't get to play with
the new girls, but we should be transporting Holly and Hannah to the Valley this weekend so we can get started with them! Look for those pics next week, and more of Serina as she progresses!
