I never thought I'd be waiting for my mare to go into heat. Usually I say oh, great she'll going to be ridiculous for the next couple of days because all she wants to do is be with other horses. This is the first time I've ever wanted her to go into heat. I want to get her breed before it gets too late in the season and it seems like it is taking forever for her to hit estrous. My dreams are filled with Julie having a baby but me not being the one to raise it or me not seeing it born or me losing the foal in some disaster. Financially I'm set for now but I have to keep reminding myself that the first year of the foal's life is going to be very expensive. I just hope I can save enough money to keep both of them; otherwise I'm going to have to choose between mother and daughter and I couldn't do that.
I'm so worried that Julie won't get in foal/ that I'm being very foolish by breeding her.
it comes down to the fact that no other horse is Julie's baby. No other horse is out of her. I know there are plenty of rescues out there and I'll donate some food to one of them come winter but I just want a foal from Julie; I always have and I always will.
Fingers crossed that she gets pregnant from the first insemination and that I'll be able to keep to a budget and save my money so that I can keep both of them.
