A Fantastic but Exhausting Weekend

Wow, well it sure was nice to have two gorgeous days this weekend to work and play! This is the first full weekend we have had in a long time and when you work all week, nice weather during the weekends is that much more important! We got so much accomplished, but are certainly paying the price with aches and pains this morning!

Sally seems to be coming in, so should be getting bred any day now as is Roxan so let’s hope they continue to cooperate with us. Cycles have been odd this Spring, but I guess with the wide range in temperatures and weather it should come as no suprise. Just last Saturday (4/14) we had snow, though nothing stuck in our area and was in the 60’s on Sunday.

Managed to get some new pictures of Ruby and will post those on the website soon! She is sure coming along nicely and has a gorgeous rich color. What a fantastic filly she is with the best temperment! Though almost over night she developed about an inch wide dorsal stripe, so she may have picked up dun from her dam. It doesn’t go into her tail and so far no other markings saying dun, so we will have to wait and see–could just be heavy countershading. Had hoped to dual register her PHBA, but love her the same if she ends up being dunalino–she is a gorgeous color and a fantastic prospect! Now that the weather has cooperated, we will be starting her ground work more seriously and sometime later this summer starting her under saddle.

Everyone else is coming along great and sure happy to have nice weather back!

Thanks again for stopping by!

A new news log for S&D appaloosas

Well, we sure haven’t been very active with our news log/blog lately have we? In an effort to keep everything together, we recently created a new photo gallery within our web hosting service and as of today have a new news page again within our web hosting service. Bravenet certainly has its benefits I guess, but I sure get tired of all the pop ups and I’m sure our visitors do as well.

So, welcome to the News page for S&D Appaloosas and we promise to be much better than we have in the past at keeping things updated. Now that we have high speed again, that shouldn’t be too hard!

As always, thanks for stopping by our site!
