Rescued Arabian Success Story

Now this would be my kind of horse! Looks, brains and a wonderful disposition. Here are the links to the story. (Sorry, I hear he's been adopted.)

Saw the Filly Being Born!

We were up until after 3am this morning watching the new filly at http://www.marestare.com/twins.php (You can right click the video screen after it loads, then click "size" to make it as large as you want.)

I watched the camera off and on yesterday and just happened to see the mare lay down at 11:25 to give birth last night. The filly was born at 11:45, after just a few pushes and the owner lady pulling on the front legs.

Then we watched as they dried her off, put the coat on her to keep her warm, helped her stand about an hour after birth, and spend a lot of time trying to get her to figure out where & how to get her "breakfast". They even put horse milk in a syringe and gave it to the filly. She was and still is pretty wobbly. I read that she's very constipated, so they gave her an enima and might still need to call the vet.

Birth photos are at http://risingrainbow.blogspot.com/2008/05/too-pooped-to-post-but-more-1000-word.html

I've watched web cams of pregnant mares before, but never tuned in at the exact time to see the birth live. It was pretty exciting! She's a lively, cutie pie!

Watching a Foaling Camera

Since yesterday afternoon, I found out and have been keeping watch on a mare at Rising Rainbow Arabians. She's the only mare who was bred this year, and has all the signs of being ready, even though she's not due until May 18th. This is her 4th foal, but it's her first by Scandalous Legacy ("Legs"), the bay stallion from the show I attended last Saturday (click here to see my video and photos of "Legs"). Bint Gamaay Rose ("Lucy") has had 3 fillies. Here's the link to the foal cam http://www.marestare.com/twins.php .

Arabian stallion Khemosabi video tribute (not mine)

This is a very nice tribute to the late, great Arabian stallion Khemosabi. I had the privilege to see him win at age 4 in the driving class at a local show. I even snapped a photo of him. Little did I know then, that he would become one of the most loved and greatest champions of all time!

Ordered 2 Books

I'm excited to have found the story of Jefferson Spivey's ride across the US on an Arabian horse, offered through Amazon.com. Back in the 80s, I read and saved an article from our local newspaper about the ride. It was also featured in "Horse and Rider" magazine. The story fascinated me then, so I'm looking forward to reading the whole book titled "Wind Drinker," that also tells of his ride across an African desert. I ordered that book and also "The Classic Arabian Horse" by Judith Forbis.

My Winning Model Arabian Costume

Here's a photo of the native Arabian costume I made for one of my model horses. It has hand-tied tassels, braided ropes, and a sculpted saddle covered in suede. It won a Championship ribbon and a Reserve Grand Champion ribbon at a model horse show in 2005.
