Breeding

Ok well so yes. We have been having Gypsy-in-heat issues, so we popped her a pgf2a shot the other day to bring her into heat, and it worked just like magic. She came into heat around Monday or Sunday or whenever it was, and we bred her on Tuesday. But I wasn't able to be there [BOOOOO] because I had to give a presentation in Animal Science class. Lame. But she did not go out of heat like she should have...instead, she was SUPER in heat today hahaha. So Gypsy was re-bred today to Mario, and I got to be there this time! It was cool! Mario is such a wonderful boy. Gypsy is usually teased to a stud who is very noisy and kind of wham-bam about this breeding business. But Mario is the wine and flowers sort of guy. Gypsy saw him from a hundred feet away and started neighing to him. My horse is officially a hussy. Ha. So anyways, Gypsy got used as the tease mare for the AI collection from Mario today- a first for my mare. They teased, and they loved each other! It was adorable.

And then we went to collect, and Gypsy was like...UHHH? Haha, it was funny. And when he leapt up on the shadow mount, Gypsy squealed like she thought he was jumping onto her.

So yes. She should definately be good and bred this time. Ha.

In other news...Do I have other news? Um.. Well, I am moving back home on the 12th of this month. Which means that I will have to unfortunately leave my work ponies behind. But I am so ready to get out of here and go back home. It will be nice to have Gypsy in my backyard again haha, and be able to go out whenever I want to ride and see her. And I'm sure she will appreciate being able to be out on grassy pasture....theres no such business here at school. Except now that she is bred, I was told she can go next door where school horses get put sometimes- a big lucious grassy field! See Gypsy, there are perks to having hands shoved up your butt!
