Could use a few fertility jingles as I get ready to breed my darling homebred IDSH mare to the handsome and accomplished Sea Accounts this weekend. She's 13 and a maiden so a bit of extra luck would not go astray. Took her this long to earn her place in the gene pool competitively speaking, although her wonderful temperament and soundness have already been established. She's such a good girl she even gives the vet a nicker when he comes to palpate her AGAIN, and no longer even requires sedation.

We'll see how she does with the gi-normous needle for the deslorelin shot this afternoon . . . I have to give THAT so she'll continue to save her nickers for the vet, probably.

I'm excited and babbling--wish us luck!

Good luck - so exciting. I LOVE Sea Accounts!

I am (hopefully!) breeding my mare this coming week - vet is coming out Sunday to u/s after Wednesday's Estrumate injection, so I totally understand the nerves!

[Dr. Doolittle]

Very best of luck, dw!!!

SO exciting (well, maybe less so for Bonnie, but the procedures are brief and bearable, and WELL worth it for the "end result"... We will be sending some pregnancy jingles her way! (First the fertility jingles, of course...)

Fertility jingles from PA. I love SA and would love to see that foal. Whats the breeding of your mare?

[RacetrackReject]

Oh my! I guess if we (COTH) couldn't get a Gwen and Fred baby, a Bonnie and Cyriz baby is just as good. Come on Bonnie and Cyriz!

Bonnie is by Mountain Pearl RID out of my OTTB mare (Delta Wave, track name Shiney Belle, 1988 model) who is actually Irish on her dam side and Bold Ruler on top.

Good luck. How exciting for you!

If she and the foal go missing, there would be no need to come look in my fields I'm a little biased to the MPs. Jingling harder

[cyriz's mom]

Cyriz has made his contribution and the swimmers are on their way!

Fingers crossed. I'm breeding four of my own this weekend, so lots of fertility dancing going on!!!

Sending lots of pregnancy jingles. How exciting!

[deltawave]

Wow, Cyriz is a happy guy this weekend!

[Serious Leigh]

I like Sea Accounts, good luck!

Update--the semen arrived in "fantastic" shape and we gave her a dose yesterday. Today she had ovulated (yay!) and her uterus was quite full of fluid (she's a 13yo maiden, I'm told that's somewhat to be expected) so she got flushed and a dose of oxytocin. Another dose tomorrow . . . and now we wait! Didn't need to give the 2nd dose of semen as the timing was about perfect.

Hope to join the folks on the "little black dot" thread in a couple of weeks!

[cyriz's mom]

Yay! Glad that Bonnie cooperated and ovulated.

Look forward to good news in a couple of weeks!! Fingers crossed.

[HorseKrazy]

Yay! I'm in the same boat as you (although my mare is not a maiden)!!! And I'm so excited! We checked or ovulation today, , we have found out on Mother's Day that my mare (with fingers crossed) is on her way to being a mamma!

[skydy]

Deltawave, do you have a photo of your mare for those of us who don't know you IRL and don't do facebook?

Cyriz is lovely!

[deltawave]

Pretty Bon-Bon.

[KateKat]

Aww good luck! I'm hoping to get my mare bred this week too.

[skydy]

Oh! Deltawave, that should be a wonderful match!
