First horse show of the season for Linus, and chick update!

Linus went to his first show of the season on February 19th, and took home a 2nd, 3rd, and 4th in the Low Hunters. For not much winter schooling I was really proud of him. Our next show is 5/5. We're both very excited for the upcoming Thoroughbred Celebration Horse Shows, held at the VA horse center. These shows showcase the off the track thoroughbred, or those bred to race that were in race training that for one reason or another never made it to the track. Both Leo and Linus will be attending.

Chick News! The first eggs in the incubator for 2011 are due in 12 days. So far it looks like I've got about 80% that are developing, so crossing fingers everything goes well for the remainder of the incubation. We've had some extreme weather fluctuations lately, which luckily has not affected the temperature much inside the 'bator, but definitely plays with the humidity a bit.

The next set of eggs I will be incubating are some olive eggers from Texas (black and blue barred) as well as some Black and Blue Copper Marans, and some blue egg-laying true Ameraucanas.

I plan to be at the Gilmanor Swap on May 7th.
