Like I said already, things are always going well for me.....but I have to say, after losing my horse last September from being seriously ill, this new job I started mid January doing night watch at the TB farm 2 miles from my farm, for the pregnant mares has been so good for me. Work 5 nights a week, keeping an eye out for the mares going into labor. I get to know the mares & have about a week to enjoy the new foals & interface with them. There were 35 pregnant mares. 17 have foaled so far, 13 of those were when I have been working. Things can't go much better than this & so far, all the foals have been born healthy. What an amazing experience. They move the foals & mares out to another barn & move more pregnant mares in. Always getting a chance to know new mares. I also do feeding & watering & when the new foals are born, help make sure they are nursing well every hour. This job will last until the last mare foals sometime in May. Then will work as needed
