I have loved stalking the foaling threads, so I thought that I would make one for Lucy. Lucy is an 8-year-old quarter horse. She’s my husband’s pride and joy.

She’s a very good ranch horse, and a pretty good cutter. She’s bred to a Playgun stud, who will hopefully compliment her cow skills.

Today she is 308 days. She tried to sluff the foal several times in the first trimester, and we ended up having to keep her out of work since then.

Can't wait for baby pictures!

@Knave - yay! Thanks for starting this thread! Can't wait to follow this foaling thread!

 

[Knave]

Me either @JCnGrace!

Thanks @lb27312! I was a little hesitant to do one, but I always really like them.

So exciting!

Here are some of my favorite Lucy pictures to give an idea of who she is.

Here is the stud! I wanted to ask before I put his add out. Meet Pistol!

Momma looks like she has a great mind!!! Rooting for healthy and happy 🙂

 

[Knave]

Thank you @dustyk! She does. She was a bit spicy the first couple years. She thinks she should be entitled to things, and is a very dressage like mover. She is the type still to spook over nothing occasionally, but when it comes down to actually needing to be focused and get a job done, she’s all there.

Doc Tari was a 3/4 brother to Doc's Zimfandel and Doc's Jack Sprat.
I know those lines VERY well.
Should be a heck of a nice foal!!

Thank you @Zimalia22! My husband found the stud. I didn’t know him at all, but seeing him in person he seemed like a really cool dude. They say his colts are very good minded and cowy. They also say he stamps them all with that fancy little face!

Oh my! I really like your husbands mare, I love a horse with no white markings, looks like she's one heck of a handy little mare too! Definitely can't fault the stallions breeding either, cant wait to see what they produce together. Thanks for starting the journal!

 

[Knave]

@SmokeyC thank you! I’m excited to see the cross too. It’s been hard having her out, but I’m hoping it will be entirely worth it!

This is going to be fun to see the last phase of Lucy’s pregnancy and the new foal. Do you have a photo of the stud?

Look up above.

@Part-Boarder the add is the only picture I have of him.

At day 310, and Lucy was in dire need of a bath. Lol. So, today she got one because it is finally warm.

 

[dustyk]

Nice! Looks like she enjoyed spa day. Wish you'd send some warm this way. Forty degrees rainy and 16 mph wind here. Northern Ill

 

[Knave]

@dustyk it has been like that here too, and then today it is warm! Sometimes I don’t know what to think. You can’t stay acclimated to either when it keeps flip flopping! Yesterday morning was 14F and windy!

 

[dustyk]

It's tough on everyone when it is like that. I'm certain that Lucy will be well cared for through whatever comes her way
