Vega

We recently had Mirabelle and Gita checked for pregnancy, and they are both bred back to Leik. Still no luck in getting Oona or Ilsa bred, but we'll keep trying. Our other stallion (Ring) has had "marefriends" visiting for breeding, and we recently learned that one of them (the mare Bella, owned by Marcy Baer and Susan Cook of Vermont) has been confirmed to be pregnant. This is wonderful news, as Bella has been difficult to get bred previously.

Although night time air temperatures still are making it down into the single digits, teens and twenties, the sun gets higher in the sky every day and the days get longer as spring approaches the Berkshires. We still have 2+ feet of beautiful powder snow all over the fields and in the woods: just perfect for snow shoeing or X-C skiing.
