Wow has time flown! Its hard to believe 10 days ago this little package was born and introduced to this world by a loving caring and strong mom. I can’t tell you how many people check in with me about Shy and the baby. Not to mention those who have stopped by and meet the wild child themselves, not to mention the wonderful pictures all of you have taken. Shy and I appreciate it!

Shy is doing ok, eating like crazy a bale or more of hay a day, plus her grain 2 times a day and fresh grass, she is a EATING machine. With this active baby I can not blame her. She does look tired, and really rather just eat and not be loved and rubbed like she did before. I am sure she is utterly exhausted. I just watch the baby literally run circles around her while she eats and that makes me tired. Her weight has not dropped, so thats a HUGE plus. Just her intake of water and food has increased substantially.

Ok now that the baby is 10 days old let see this is what she has learned:

How to fold up to lay down, that everything must enter my mouth for a taste testing, that throwing paws for scratches gets me in trouble, trying to suck nibble the human type gets me in trouble as well, that my legs are long and i can go fast fast fast, when I run I need to slow down for corners, that I wanna be like mom, eat grass, hay and grain, I love driving aunti jen nuts with dumping the water bucket, moms poops is yummy, butt scratches are my friends, when I kick a human I get in big big trouble, that I hate halters but I have to wear it anyways, I don’t like to be lead around… I am a wild pony can’t you see, I love my michele and shawn and I think they love me, hooch is my buddy,That after eating poop moms milk is a good chaser

I have to tell yeah this baby is WILD WILD WILD. She runs and runs and runs and RUNS! She makes me dizzy. She even cleared a 2 foot fire pit, jumped it like it was nothing! My jaw dropped. She is so athletic and BOLD. I so got that part of her name right!

I did buy more grain, 3 bags Omelne and 3 bags of Mare and Foal and 2 bags of shavings… grand total of $102.00 man I need to start work 24 hours a day to feed these too… its nuts.

Please keep checking my http://www.youtube.com/lovies78 link I will be putting all her videos up there. I got to more up right now. One of her wiping out LOL and another of her expressing her feelings about her halter

Beebles loves her Auntie Jen

I know I can unlock this, I know I can

Beebles and Hooch, best buds!

O I can still run and run and run!

She looks so good, specially the tail action

And then its.... nao time.

I have not seen my girls since Thursday… talk about torture. Shawn (hubby) went out yesterday and saw them and cleaned the baby’s butt and put some cream on it. He had a blast, said she is full of it and loves to race around the pen with him.

We both went out this morning, Bill and Ruth came out to see the little package, boy was Beebles smoozing him up!!! She is gonna a looker and a teaser I can see it now! She was in and out of the stall, she would take off tearing around the pen, come flying back in buck hop stomp. Yeah she has so much energy Shy just sighs…

Shy seemed to be doing well today, she looked sleepy. She was yawning like crazy while the baby was out bouncing around.  She is one eating maching. she eats a bale or so a hay a day, plus all her grain 2 times a day. She is gobbling it up and barely wasting any. So thats a good thing. I gotta get some more Straw and shavings. I am with Jen straw is just wrong its a P.I.T.A!!!!!

The babies runs are gone, and her poops are getting harder. Shy is in her heat so it’s all good. No worries. All in all both of them are doing awesome I couldn’t have imagined it any better.

OOOOOoo baby has groupies now too! Hooch the dog runs with her and the chickens keep her company. Its rather sweet to see. KK here are some pictures and in a bit I will be loading more video to youtube

Beebles and her friends

Does this make my ears look big?

Kk now your ears look HUGE!

Omg STOP kissing me! I am a WILD child

What a pretty girl

What yeah got? can I taste it??

aweee

I am a WILD horsie!

You read that right, Bebe or Beebles loves to bounce around. She is really athletic to be honest. She loves to pop up throw a front leg then tear off bucking, switch sides and repeat.

A video montage of her. I have it loading on youtube.com/lovies78 as well

I went out today and it seems like she has gotten so big over night, I am not ready for a bigger baby LOL. She is fast and has learned how to hide behind mom and play peekaboo under her belly. She sniffed my nose, I blew some air outa my nose into hers, she promptly took off running and tossing her head. Little spunky one!

I could not catch her outside so I got Shy to come in and eat her breakfast… well brunch, some nice hay and while she was eating I toweled the baby off. As long as I am next to Shy she is fine with me touching the baby, she dribbled her food on us check both of us every few minutes. The time I see her get really upset is when the baby is towards her flank, or out of her sight. I totally understand and time will heal this I am sure of.

I bought Straw on Monday, today I went and got 2 bags Omelene 200, 1 bag Omelene 300 for mare and foal, 1 bag hay stretcher, 1 small bucket milk replacer per the vet. That all came to $70.77

Shyshy and baby Bold Blessing made the news last night as well. Was a short story and they got my last name wrong lol since when did I become Clark? I called in and they have not changed it yet. O well. I put the link in the side bar to your left (eyeballs move to the left and down ). I also will past the story here.

Winterport Farm Has a New Member

by Meghan Hayward · Jun 09th 2009 · See more Local News

A farm in Winterport received a four-legged foal blessing.

The Spirit of Hope farm has a new member and rightfully called “bold blessing.”

The mother of the foal, “shy-shy”, was rescued by Michele Cole.
The horse had been abused and neglected.

She is paralyzed and deaf on one side of her head and was underweight by almost 400 pounds when she first came to cole.

Cole says with all her medical issues it was unsure if “shy-shy” would survive the labor.

But Cole says they did all they could to help her along.

” Her nutrition was on board, the vets been out here checking her. Making sure she is ok. She’s had the best fighting chance that she was going to have no matter where she was.”

Cole says “bold blessing” is having no problem eating or walking around,
but she hasn’t quite figured out how to lay down yet.

I got some cool pictures and I will leave you with those. Thanks for the support and well wishes, maybe I am biased but she is the cutest thing I have ever seen! Man did I want to bring her inside and snuggle!

can you say AWEEEEEEE

this is how we lay down

She knowsshe is cute

all muddy

what else is there to say?

whats that in your hand, you follow me with that thing

I am a farm girl

Now which legs bend which way?

Bold Blessing has entered this world between 2 -5 am June 9th, 2009!!! A HEALTHY brown and white Tobiano/TB filly!!!! She is perfect just perfect!! She is full of piss and vinegar and its already bucking and trotting!

Shy, did this all by herself, Jess checked on her at 2am and there was nothing. Jen woke up to an extra set of legs. Bebe was already cleaned and dried off! Shy had a safe delivery. She had a few seizures this morning, otherwise she is nickering and licking her baby constantly. I will tell yeah Shy is a REALLY good mom! Attentive, a little overbearing but all in all you could not ask for a better mother! She has been eating like crazy and dribbling it all over the baby, its rather cute to see.

Its been a jam packed day. After we all (Shawn, Myself, Jen and Jess) oogled over the baby channel 5 came out, as promised. They wanted to show a happy ending to a life that was not so could and what love, attention and the proper care for a horse can do. Bebe showed off for the news crew, running and bucking. Showing what her new legs really could do! She is still learning how to lay down, we are not there yet on gracefulness, but we are not even 24 hours old right!

Stew from Winterport vet was out. Gave her a clean bill of health. Said so watch her front leg for a crooked fetlock and to have the farrier out in a month. I am on it already . She had passed several poops, eating like a pig and bouncing around! Shy passed her placenta whole and has plenty of milk for the little bebooper

I hope I am not missing anything? I do want to Thank EVERYONE for your support, donations and prayers, I could not ask for a much happier ending! With out ALL of you Bold Blessing might have not come out as perfect as she did! And Shy would not be in as good of health. So THANK YOU!!

Without further ado here are pictures. Video is being spliced as we speak. We have soooo many pictures!!
Meet BOLD BLESSING

This is the first time Shy had layed down all day.

Meeting Daddy

Look at that tail!

I always hate posting cause I don’t know what to say forst LOL. I suck at writing, but you all seem to be dealing with it just fine *I hope*.

Shy as you know still has not had her little one as of yet. She is getting more uncomfortable. She acts just Blahhhh… The only time she perks up is either for treats or going out on the green grass. God forbid you take her off the green grass, she literaly throws a temper tantrum. I just have to laugh as she trots around and herds me off to the left, over and over again. She does have 4 left feet I am almost positive of that!

When I walked into her stall yesterday she had tipped over in her stall head into the corner and was shaking, I am unsure what happened, weather she tripped, choked or had a seizure. Deff. scary stuff. She got up and wobbled out to her paddock, she was a little unsteady. I am wondering if this is why she had such a flatness about her yesterday, she was like this after her last seizure bout, just blahhh. Defiantly the pregnancy is not helping the situation at all.

She has become a lot more cuddly to Shawn and I. Except for the boobie test, we are still in negotiations with her on that one. She DID let me scartch them and put some fly goop on them, when she had enough she promptly, picked up her foot and I took the clue and backed off. She can pack quite the punch I tell yeah. Her belly has not dropped that much, and she still loves her grain. I was watching Shawn walk her out to the grass yesterday and she officially waddles now .

I had to laugh, I got her one of those treat balls, apple flavored (one of those round ones made of oats and gooyness). She was getting so mad at it! She couldn’t bite into it, she would slam it around then grab it as hard as she could. I went to touch it yesterday and it is sooooooo sticky. She has been at it off and on. Keeps her busy I suppose.

Friday I picked up 3 Bags omelene 200, 1 bag hay stretcher, 16 bales of hay, bought a Pancur Power Pac. Then the other day I bought 2 bags of shavings, and came back with 25 bales of hay last night. So over 300 bucks right there. I need to get some more feed her shortly and some more straw.

Ok to what teared me up!!

Shy has not been into men, she tolerates them, but does not have much trust or interest, which I totally understand. Well Monday I was out with Maggie in the round pen, cause Shawn always come to meet Shy at the gate and take her mowing the lawn. She looks forward to this, its like one of her favorite times, besides scratching and dinner time.

I came back from my walk with Maggie and Shawn was in the stall brushing Shy, her head hanging low and truely loving it. I walk in grab my helmet and bridle and set off for the round pen with Maggie in tow. I was working on Maggie tolerating a ball on the ground wiggling around. She was bucking and farting so I called Shawn to watch … it was comical. He climbed  up on Shy’s fence and watched.

The next thing I know Shy has waddled out and put her head in Shawn’s lap. She sought him out!!! I ran outa the round pen, to get the camera… must get these pictures!! I could not believe my eyes she had her head in his lap, cuddling with him and enjoying having her mane and forlock brushed. I teared up, I knew then that she was happy, happy enough to trust in us. She has made LEAPS and BOUNDS, since she has been with me. She still gets a little nervous with things, but she trust enough not to explode.

I think thats about it, I got tons of pictures, for those of you on dial up, go grab some coffee or make dinner

I love this picture, look at those two!

Could she get any closer. See his hand hes not holding her!

Is she turning into a daddy's girl?

Daddy grooming my hair, to make me look purty

Hay fresh off the truck!
