6 weeks have gone by with no signs of heat so...
PEANUT must be PREGNANT!!!!!
In the next few weeks the vet will be out to do a little check up and check to see if everything is happy and healthy and hopefully not twins! Keep your fingers crossed for us, and let's hear some name suggestions!
In case you've been out of the loop: Peanut, my show horse from last year was bred in the middle of March. The first breeding wasn't successful as she had a cluster of eggs. Fertility of a cluster of eggs is inprobable, so we took the safest bet and put her on a drug that would do two things. The first was to decrease the chances of aborting a possible pregnancy (even though unlikely). The second was to regulate the heat cycle and increase the chances of fertility from a second breeding. The second breeding took place and as of right now all systems are go!
We decided to breed Peanut to a stud called Genzanit. Genzanit, or "Dunnit" as we call him around the barn, has an extensive show record, a fabulous mentality and hopefully some physical attributes to offset some of Peanut's weaknesses.
We are waiting for the appointment with the vet before we start an official countdown...stay tuned!
