Figured I'd go ahead and post here! Yesterday we had an ultrasound done on Izzie for the 30 day heartbeat check, and were met with a solid heartbeat! Izzie is a half Arabian mare (xAPHA) who has excelled in Sport Horse and Dressage. She's also a solid trail mount and a great leadline horse for my kids. She's earned up to her Legion of Merit (so she's Written In The Stars++)

She's been bred to the purebred Arabian, Twilight Solstice+, who is just getting started in the Sport Horse world and slowly will be working under saddle. He's owned by a friend of mine and has a very sensible brain.

I am very excited to follow along!! I don't recall ever following an Arabian foaling thread here. Super exciting!

So because the foal will be 3/4 Arabian - he/she would be registered as a half-Arabian then?

@ClearDonkey, yup! Doesn't matter how close you get percentage wise to pure Arabian, it'll always be registered half Arabian. I know there hasn't been an Arabian thread in a few years, so I was excited I could put my own up!
@carshon and @csimkunas6, thank you!!
@JCnGrace, haha I'm already on pins and needles, but for meeting each milestone!
@KigerQueen, there are actually a lot of options lol Izzie is bay under her grey, and only Gg. Soli is chestnut under his grey and also only Gg. So far he's thrown his grey gene twice out of five foals, including one to another grey mare. So our total color options are chestnut, black, bay, with or without the grey modifier, and if Izzie will toss her frame or white 20 haha! Nick is hoping for black and white, but above all he wants a healthy mom and baby <3

Izzie's been getting bigger and bigger! Enjoying being ridden solely by my daughter too :)



Comparison to prepregnancy



And a fun little ride with Sydney :)





Even pregnant she still has it though lol wasn't as far along here, but it was our local show. Nick was going to show her, and Kaleb stole her instead. Someone was worried about the age of Kaleb showing her, and the show manager (a good friend of mine) said if ANYONE gave me a hard time with my kids showing my horse to let him know and he'll take care of it. He knows I'd never put my kids in a dangerous spot (hence why they are showing Izzie and NOT Diego)

@carshon, I know! I have a lot of Horse Forum people on Facebook, but I've been so swamped it's been tough to sit down and post (like right now I need to be going into the lab and getting my day started, but hurrying up and responding haha!) She seems pretty happy :) her chiropractor said pregnancy is agreeing with her. For the first time ever she had pretty much nothing out!
@knightrider, it's crazy isn't it? Syd is in first grade now, and Kaleb is in second! Sydney is definitely more into the horses than Kaleb is, but Kaleb enjoys hopping on every now and then. Izzie's enjoyed that as her sole job too!
@JCnGrace, VERY! Nick is already having dreams of what the baby will look like. I won't be upset if his dream comes true (keeping it under wraps haha!) We have a show name picked out (also keeping that quiet for now), and I've told him he's allowed to roll around barn name ideas, but nothing is sticking until we meet him or her! He's anxiously awaiting when he can feel baby move though lol

A quick update! Izzie is doing super well! Had her teeth done on Monday, and got her 7 month shot a little early (saved us from having to go get it since they let us do it ourselves). Vet is very, very pleased with how she looks right now too. Said keep doing what I'm doing! She'll be coming off the field January 1st as our field has fescue, and we've purchased hay that is specifically hers that does not contain fescue (our hay has fescue as we cut it ourselves). Otherwise, she's been enjoying taking it easy with the kids!

Not a huge update for Izzie :) she'll be 9 months along around the 22nd, so we are getting close! She's now off the field per our vet (we have a fescue mix for grass, so she's penned up with fescue free hay), and we take her out for daily lunging/adventures so she's out and moving. Once the arena is fenced in, we'll turn her loose in that so she can move around on her own :)

@JCnGrace, for the most part she's fine! We take her out and just let her do her thing on the lunge, which makes her happy. Attempted a bareback train ride on Saturday that ended with me hopping off and walking her home. Nick offered to switch mounts, but she felt uncomfortable to me, not bratty. We are DYING to see this baby! I had a super vivid dream about the baby a while back, and I'd be so happy if that dream came true!

@tinyliny, definitely not twins! She was a double ovulator, so they checked six times to ensure there was only one baby in there! She doesn't look too pregnant from behind, just hanging low! Due date is end of March/beginning of April, so getting close!

@gottatrot, haha! This is my husband's baby, so he'd be pretty upset if it went missing! We can't wait to see what it looks like though!
