I'm New Here

[highmeadow]

I've been lurking for awhile but decided to introduce myself. I watched the two births yesterday morning and presently have six minimized on my screen. Yes, I'm an addict.

I have been talking to Heather about hooking our foalcam up and am just waiting for the arrival of a cable I ordered weeks ago from the States. I'm trying to be patience but it's not going so well.

My husband and I own a small farm called High Meadow Quarter Horses located in Nova Scotia, Canada. We have a buckskin QH stallion, red dun QH mare, palomino QH mare, dunalino QH filly and a red dun Paint mare. We usually breed one or two of our own mares and a couple outside mares each year.

We both barrel race and pole bend and if we have a free weekend from that we go team penning. We also enjoy trail riding and in the spring my husband does a few clinics.

Our first mare that is due is a palomino who was bred when we bought her in September. The sire of the baby is Playin Pep from Florida. She's due February 27th. Since it's her first foal and it's so bitter cold here we have started leaving her in. She's not impressed about that but I'm not taking any chances.

The second mare is bred to our stallion and due March 31st. This is her forth foal so I *think* I'll be able to tell when she's close.

My husband and I both work outside the home so I'm thrilled to be able to watch the mares while at work.

Here is a link to our website if you'd like to have a look. The first mare due is HollywoodCresentMoon ('Holly') and the second is Two Smoke Hollywood ('Two Bit').

Thanks for the welcomes. I guess I posted this in the wrong spot. I don't know how I missed the thread called 'Introductions'

If a moderator wants to move it, feel free. Sorry.

I'm still waiting for the cable to arrive. I think the mailman must be walking here.

Unfortunately I am experiencing some camera problems. My best camera died on me so I'm using my spare one. It works ok but it is too close so all you see are Holly's feet or whole body filling up the screen.

I'm sending the other camera away to be looked at and hopefully fixed, but I don't have high hopes on that.

Hopefully the cable will arrive soon so I can get hooked up. Holly is being kept inside when we aren't home and she still hasn't gotten used to that idea. It's hard to watch her as all she does is circle the stall. I'm hoping she'll settle down soon.

As soon as we're up and running I'll let ya know!
