A
Welcome back to Catching up with Katie. You know, we're kind of lucky we're even doing it this week. We had to skip last week because my voice was just completely gone. Like, I cannot remember the last time I truly lost my voice. Not even. Just was like, oh, I'm like, could not talk for days. And so it's a little back. It's a little more husky, I would say. But we're making it through. We have one more week until we head out to Ocala to a horse show. Like, we're there for two days because. Okay. I'm just giving you the lowdown. I'm not going to give you all the details because that will be. It's going to be like a reveal.
- [00:39]
B
Yes.
- [00:39]
A
When we get there. Yes. So there's a new horse that I'm showing this year. He is going to stay in Texas. He's not coming home. Like, this is purely because when I go to Texas to see Denver, like, it's with the trainers that I'm already, like, working with. Working with. And so this older gentleman, he's a. He's a senior gelding. He's been there, done that, knows his job. It. It was presented to me like, as, hey, would you like. I think this would be a good fit for you because, you know, you're going to be showing Denver hopefully soon. But he's a younger horse and he's just not as, like, you know, solid in his job. And you've got all these babies coming up. What if you dipped your toes back into the show, Penny, with this older gentleman that's a little more like, been there, done that, and can teach you.
- [01:26]
B
Yeah.
- [01:26]
A
Which I think is always amazing. Like, I grew up showing older horses, which if you have a horse that has all these abilities and they can actually teach you, it's phenomenal. So I'm very excited. I had meant to go ride this horse. Like, I was supposed to have already introduced y' all to this horse. Yeah. And bowling season just has been kicking my behind and so we have had zero time to go. Um, we did have like a little three week spot, but then in that three week spot, they were out of town like the trainers, and so it just didn't work out. So I get to ride this horse for the very first time when we get to Ocala.
- [02:01]
B
Okay.
- [02:02]
A
For two days. So I have two days to ride him and have lessons and all that good stuff.
- [02:06]
B
Cool.
- [02:06]
A
And then I show. So we get there the next day, first day, second day, third day, I ride him into practice.
- [02:12]
B
Got it.
- [02:12]
A
And then I show.
- [02:14]
B
Ding, ding, ding.
- [02:15]
A
Yeah. And then we have, like, a. A day in the middle of it that we're taking off because I'm not showing. And so then we're gonna go to Universal, and then I have one more show day, and then we leave. Cool, cool, cool. And I'm trying not to put any pressure on it because, like, if we get there and I suck, then we might just show if it works, you know? Like, it doesn't. It doesn't have to be all this big pressure buildup and stuff. And so we're gonna go ride him and then Denver showing. I'm hoping they let me ride Denver while he's there. He is, like, fresh off the breeding train.
- [02:45]
B
Yeah, I was gonna say he wasn't
- [02:46]
A
he breeding, which he's already gone and shown in one.
- [02:49]
B
Okay.
- [02:50]
A
Which is, like. So Denver, my young stallion, first things first. He had his first year of, like, breeding fresh. So last year, he bred some mares just with frozen semen. So, like, we had collected him prior to breeding season. And then because he was going to be showing, we were like, we don't want him having to focus on two different things. And so he never collected fresh. So when they collect fresh, they're like on a Monday, Wednesday, Friday schedule, they collect every Monday, Wednesday, Friday, and that shipment gets sent out that day. Well, this year, we collected fresh through mid March, and then we're like, oh, okay, he's gonna have time by mid April, he'll have a full month to kind of get back in the swing of things, and he'll go show. And that was our plan. Well, there was a show right before the Ocala one that my trainers were going to, and they said, can we take Denver? Because we're just going straight from this show to Ocala. So he needs to go. And we will just ride him around like we're not planning on showing. Well, that was literally two weeks out from breeding. They get there, he's being so good that they were like, yeah, we're just
- [03:56]
B
gonna show him nice.
- [03:57]
A
He's so good. And then he went and won the Junior Western riding under all the judges and has already qualified for the World show because he got so many points. So that's kind of cool. So he's. He's already gotten back in the swing of things and looks fantastic. So we get to go watch Denver. I hopefully get to ride Denver.
- [04:14]
B
I'm so excited to meet him.
- [04:16]
A
He's very funny boy. And then Penelope is going to be there. You've never Met Penelope. Okay. And she almost just spoiled something else. And I do that often, so there's other things happening while we're in Ocala as well that y' all don't know about. And so there's just so much. Yeah. So Penelope is going to be there for a ride along as well. So if all things look great, I might hop on Penelope, which is gonna be really fun because so if you've been following since 2023, then you remember Penelope being born. And that was one of my very first YouTube videos. Yeah. Was her birth.
- [04:48]
B
And was that the one that was like a term? Like, kind of strange coming? Like, she was standing and she came.
- [04:55]
A
Oh, yeah. Trudy always has her baby standing.
- [04:57]
B
Okay.
- [04:57]
A
So, yeah, I had to catch her.
- [04:59]
B
That was wild.
- [04:59]
A
Literally had have, like, carry this horse, and so it'd be kind of funny. I've carried you. You have to carry me now. So Ocala's next. We have one more week of just, like, grinding and getting everything buttoned up before we head down there. So with that being said, it's been a honestly kind of traumatic couple of weeks in the folding season realm of things. And the last Catching up with Katie we filmed, I kind of just, like, trauma dumped about Maggie. So we're gonna try not to do that in this episode. But a lot of you had questions, and so we took questions. I don't know what these are, by the way. Lindsay came up with these from the comment section. We have a few questions that she has pulled straight from y', all, and we're just gonna kind of catch up with. With answering the burning questions of viewers. So, Lindsay, why don't you want to kick us off? By the way, did you notice that we're matching? We're matching. This is the eggs Benny. Eggs Benedict merch.
- [05:56]
B
I love it spicy. Okay, so this is referring to the. Now that she has Margot and the nursemaid. So can you talk through the why of keeping Margot with Maggie instead of getting a nurse mare right away? Like, why? Why? What prohibited you from, like, getting one right away? Was it the decision?
- [06:15]
A
I mean, right away, Maggie seemed okay. For backstory, if you didn't watch last episode, Maggie, my recent mayor, who we love, had colic surgery at, like, 295 days pregnant. And then she was recovering. Great. And then at 322 days pregnant, she colicked again, had colon displacement once again, had to have surgery again. And then baby was born 20 hours later, naturally. So, you know, she had. She came through surgery so. Well, and then she had such good milk which was kind of like a miracle. Like, you know, that's something that her hormones should have been so imbalanced. Like, they were worried she wouldn't have milk. And she's a freaking dairy cow. Like, she has so much milk. And so she came through surgery so well. And then she had this baby naturally so easily and then was feeding it well and seemed like she was just on the up and up that it. It is truly best for baby, if possible, to stay with mama. And if. And it's best for mom, too. Like, if. If we can keep from stressing her out because she, like, wants this baby. Right. We had hoped that she would just stabilize and kind of just like coast until we could. And, you know, the first couple days she came home, we hand walked her and like, if that was all we had to do, like, that's fine. Like, we could absolutely do that for her. And so that was a realistic, okay, this could work. And then a few days into Maggie getting home, we noticed how uncomfortable she was. And then that day had the vet out and it would just so happen. The farrier was coming out that day. It was just very good timing. We noticed she had inflammation in her lamina, which is like, okay, laminitis is starting. And laminitis, this is where a lot of people were, I think, confused. So laminitis oftentimes is brought on by, hey, this horse is overdoing it on the sugary diet. Like, it's you. It's a lot of the time diet based. And so everyone's like, pull that grain away from her. I'm like, no, that is not the case. She has been on half grain. She has been on. She had like 10 minutes of grazing. This is not what caused this. What caused this is her incision became infected, which was like, it was gonna happen.
- [08:34]
B
Yeah.
- [08:34]
A
It was inevitable with, I mean, especially
- [08:36]
B
with Margot running up under her and like bumping her head.
- [08:39]
A
And I mean, you can only keep a horse in a barn so clean.
- [08:44]
B
Yeah.
- [08:45]
A
And so she. It was beginning to get infected. And the infection plus all the stress, that's just what did it. And so we immediately took action and, like, had the farrier out and we put these, like, cloud cushy boots on her to relieve pressure off of her foot. We started icing her. We started. Now we. We're lasering her for inflammation as well. We're have her on anti inflammatories. We took X rays just to make sure there was no rotation already. It can happen very, very fast. So, like, inflammation to the lamina starts, and then it turns into foundering, which is the rotation of the coffin bone. And when it gets severe, the coffin bone literally just, like, pushes through the bottom of the soul. Like, it's so sad. And so it's one of those things where if you catch it fast, maybe you can stop it. There's no guarantee, though, that you can stop it even by throwing the book at it. We're throwing the book at it, and we're hoping. But with that being the next, like, add on to Maggie's problems, we've decided it best to attempt to bring. We already started. We're on day, like, four right now of, like, by the time y' all watch this, I don't even know what's gonna have happened.
- [09:57]
B
Yeah.
- [09:58]
A
So we're on day four of medication right now for Gracie, one of my retired broodmares, who is, like, super unproblematic, great mom, and she's just been retired from having her own babies. But we're bringing her into milk, hopefully. And so we're gonna attempt to put Margot on Maggie are on Gracie now, just. But to give Maggie a chance. I mean, on top of, like, she's giving every bit of nutrition she can to this baby, because she's just Her. She's like a milk cow. Like, her udder's huge.
- [10:29]
B
Yeah.
- [10:30]
A
And. And she's just, like, streaming milk out as Margot eats. And so we're going to hopefully give her the break of not having to feed the baby so she can gain weight. She lost so much weight. Like, her top line looks like a dairy cow. Like, she's just bone. And so we're gonna try to get the baby off of her for that reason and for the reason of, like, she is, like, absolutely just, like, punching her in the gut constantly. And hopefully this will give Maggie the chance to heal and recover. Now, a lot of people I did see were like, why wouldn't you just get a nurse mare from, like, Cold Springs? Nurse mare or, like, whatever, like, one of these places that has them ready to go? And I went through that scenario, and I'm not saying we won't turn to that. If Gracie doesn't work. If we can make one of my mares work that, why not has the ability and is healthy and knows my other mares and can go out in the pasture with them, probably with, like, less drama, you know, like, you know, these babies, we put so much time and effort into them, and, like, we love them, and they're also very expensive. And, like, I. I just did run some scenarios in my head of, like, okay, I get this mare, and I don't know what the. You know, like, do I have to quarantine this mayor when I get her here? And that puts us at two weeks. And then, like, do we put her out with my other mares and babies? And what if she. I don't know how she is with other mares in the pasture? What if she's super aggressive and then she kicks this other baby that's worth all this money? And then I, you know, know, like, I know how Gracie is. I know how she interacts with her babies. I know how she interacts with other mares. Like, I trust her with Margot, you know, and so if we can make that work, we're gonna try to. It's nothing I've done before, so it's a learn. It's gonna be a learning experience. But that's why we didn't immediately. Yeah. And, you know, it might have been better if we had.
- [12:31]
B
But you live and you learn.
- [12:32]
A
We're. We're here now.
- [12:33]
B
Yeah.
- [12:34]
A
You know, so.
- [12:36]
B
Okay, question number two. Is there ever a chance that we'll see a mini foal or horse next to a big foal or horse?
- [12:45]
A
So at one point, the mini horses, when I first got them, were at the big farm.
- [12:49]
B
Okay.
- [12:49]
A
And so we do have some old videos of Karen next to Gracie through the fence. And it's funny. It is funny.
- [12:56]
B
It's probably, like, a huge difference.
- [12:58]
A
Yes. Um, which is funny because Gracie's, like, the smallest of the horses. Uh, and so that. That did happen. But right now, I don't think a lot of people know the mini farm's a totally different property.
- [13:09]
B
Yeah.
- [13:09]
A
And so where the mini foals are, I mean, we'd have to trailer them over. I would never do it in the pasture together. It would have to be, like, through the fence.
- [13:19]
B
Yeah.
- [13:19]
A
And it's just kind of, like, a whole big deal. And, like, I just live by if I don't have to stress my horse out, why would I, you know? And sure, would it be cute? Maybe. I think we could Photoshop it and it'd be as cute, you know, so. Probably not.
- [13:34]
B
Yeah.
- [13:34]
A
Honestly.
- [13:35]
B
Cool. How is Daphne doing? And will the injury that she received recently kind of make her a potential broodmare in the future? Or is there potential for her to heal? And she should heal?
- [13:49]
A
So Daphne. This was in one of the, like, vet updates we did with breeding. So she came in, and she really wasn't looking like that lame walking. But we had the chiropractor out that day again. There's so. There's been so many coincidences with, like, who's coming out and, like, catching things early. So she felt around on. No, I always say it wrong. I call. I keep calling it the chupacabra. It's the tubercoxic that.
- [14:18]
B
Yes, tubercop.
- [14:19]
A
Tubercock.
- [14:20]
B
I can't.
- [14:21]
A
I said it first. I said it the first time. So it's like the. It's like the pointy bone on their hip. And she felt it and she was like, I think she broke it. And I was like, great. Why not, you know, let's break our hip. And so she said a lot of the times when horses, like, maybe they bust through their stall or maybe on a fence post, they're running and they. They catch it on it and it, like, breaks it off. So that's what she had suspected just from palpating it, like, feeling it. And there was lots of inflammation, and she was obviously uncomfortable with it. Well, we had the vet out, I think, the next day for her and x rayed it and ultrasounded it on all the things so she didn't break the bone. She had the tiniest little bone chip that should cause no problems. Perfect. And then she did tear the ligament that is like a big hip ligament that goes, like, right underneath it. And so it's causing a lot of inflammation. And that's what, like, it was squishy around it, and that's what it was. So that's better than the bone. Okay, so that's better. It should be. I think she's been on stall rest for a couple weeks now. I think he said six weeks of stall rest and then hand walking and then back to normal, building up from there. So she should be okay. And she's in that. It's kind of like humans, like, you know, kids just heal faster. Like, young. Young horses do heal better.
- [15:39]
B
Yeah.
- [15:39]
A
And so, because she wasn't already in, like, big, strenuous work and like, she should be.
- [15:45]
B
She was just starting out working, she
- [15:47]
A
was just starting out. She should be okay. And it. It truly was most, like, he said it was hyperextension. So what probably happened. We won't know for sure what probably happened. She's in this big old pasture with a bunch of mares and it had rained. And so, like, if it's super duper wet, sometimes we'll keep the horses in for this reason because we have super hilly, rocky ground. But we don't keep them in if it, like, if it's just. It's a little muddy, you know. Well, she probably slipped and hyper extended it running down the hill or something.
- [16:19]
B
Yeah.
- [16:19]
A
And it's just like, what are you gonna do, bubble wrap them?
- [16:23]
B
Yeah, it's like you can't keep an eye on them all day.
- [16:24]
A
I mean, that's. I mean, that's why so many people justify keeping their horse in 24 7. Because they're like, I can't afford for them to hurt themselves. I'm showing them or whatever. And, like, I've just always adopted the. I don't know, the motto. Not that there's no motto. I just believe that a horse should be able to go out. And so, you know. Yes. She's a very expensive two year old, and I have big, big hopes for her, but I'm not gonna.
- [16:51]
B
Yeah.
- [16:51]
A
I'm not gonna ruin her quality of life for that.
- [16:54]
B
Okay, next question. What is your suspected full count for next year?
- [17:00]
A
I'll pull up my list. Let me see. So we have. We'll see here in like an hour if Buttercup's pregnant.
- [17:06]
B
Yeah.
- [17:07]
A
That'll be a whole other video that y' all get to see. So right now, confirmed, we have opal, who's due January 29th. We have Ariel, who's due February 11th, and then Earlene, due February 16th. So those are the ones that are confirmed. We're checking Buttercup today, and she's due, if she is pregnant, February 26th. So that's four. And then we've already put in embryos into Raven. Lexi is getting it today, and then Kimberly's getting it Wednesday. So that's seven.
- [17:44]
B
Okay.
- [17:45]
A
And then. Oh, Eight. Just kidding. I forgot Ginger. Ginger's also been bred. We're checking her on Thursday. So she would be due March 2nd. And so we have at the current time, if all these pregnancies stick, which most likely one. At least one or two of them is probably not going to. Yeah. January 29th through March 8th is our current foaling season. And we still have a few more to go, so that's seven. I'd really like to have my embryo put in. Charlotte Melody. We're gonna try with Sophie. Here's the thing, Sophie. I'm like, if it works, it works. If it doesn't, it doesn't. And then Blondie and ladies. So I would say, like, I'm. I'm shooting for at least 10, but I think on my list there's like 12 to 14. So I would say if you shoot for 14, you usually get 9 or 10. Yeah. So that I. I'd say I'd say 8 to 10 is like realistically. Realistically. Well, I'm twined to stay.
- [18:50]
B
Yeah, I agree, I agree. What makes a cult a stallion prospect versus Geldingham? Just genetics or is there more to it?
- [19:01]
A
Definitely more to it. So I think genetics gives you like genetics meaning, like oh, his daddy won all this and his mama won all this and this mama produced all these babies that went on to win. Like I think that gives you like predictability in a horse. I'm not saying that like a quote unquote, nobody horse can't be a stallion prospect because of excellence. But I think going off of, oh, that horse is bred so nice, it gives you like predictability because you can see how they've done in the past like those horses. Right. It doesn't always work that way, but that's generally why I think people are so focused on, oh, on paper, what does that horse look like? So there's that for me. I tend if I keep a boy, it's usually for a stallion prospect. And it's, I let them grow up to see how they look confirmationally and that's down to like their feet, how they are built, how they last soundness wise, you know, on, on the X rays, how are they looking like internally, because that's all things that you're passing on and so structural, mental. So like if they're a wackadoodle as a yearling and a two year old and can't handle it, yeah, they're not a stallion prospect. Yeah, some people don't care. Whatever. To me I care. I, I want like the best minded possible stallions to pair with my mares and then you know, you then obviously want them to go prove themselves sometimes. Some of the best stallions out there didn't really prove themselves because they were injured or whatever reason and so then they were proven through their progeny. There is something to be said about that. Sometimes that happens. So there's so many factors that go into it. I would say there's too many great stallions out there to make another mid one, you know, and so that's why I'm pretty like, like I, I break the scissors out. Not really, but yeah, I've gelded everything so far. Like Wally's the one that has gone the farthest.
- [21:12]
B
Yeah.
- [21:12]
A
And he's two and you know, still has his, his manhood, his friends. So I'm pretty, I'm pretty stingy with it and I just, if they're not anything but like, wow. And like, oh my gosh, in whatever field they're doing. Obviously, like, like, Wally looks very different than, like, my little western horses. Right. Like, they have their different strengths, but for whatever we're planning for them, if they're not just like, oh, my gosh, wow. I see zero reason to keep their testicles, you know? Yeah, yeah.
- [21:43]
B
Makes sense to me. All right, I've got two questions left. The next one is about Gretchen and her show.
- [21:49]
A
Yeah. So she. I have a little video clip we could put up.
- [21:54]
B
That's so cute.
- [21:56]
A
She looked fantastic. I honestly was shocked because we sent her in, I think December, and so it's only been a few months, and she showed in the halter. Okay. We're starting her off in the halter, and then this summer she's starting her in, like, the driving. So she's gonna hopefully be pulling a cart, and I think that's where she's gonna really shine. But the halter gets her to the shows. It gets her, you know, just used to everything, being around other horses, being in. In a training atmosphere. And so she showed her in the mayor's class, which she had told me, and I'm learning about the mini horses. So I don't. You don't. I don't know all this stuff. So she showed me where or she told me that there were the two that beat her because she got third, and it looked like there was quite a few horses in the class. She. She was third. And the two that beat her were previous, you know, big time champion mares. And they were in a different height class than her. Usually at this certain show, they had combined it into one mare's class. So generally at, like, many shows, it's like, based on their height.
- [23:02]
B
Yeah.
- [23:02]
A
In inches. And so they were all just put together and Gretchen in her. Like, if you had sectioned them out, she would have won her height class. But third's great. First time showing, she looked fantastic. And so Emily Conder is my trainer. Jack will be going to some shows later on, and we're going to go see them while we're in.
- [23:22]
B
I'm so excited.
- [23:22]
A
Florida. So that'll be fun.
- [23:25]
B
We're going to see Jack and Gretchen.
- [23:28]
A
My little man. Yeah, my little man. We're going to go see them and maybe get a tour of, like, her, you know, farm and, like, her training stuff, and it's going to be really cool.
- [23:38]
B
That's exciting.
- [23:39]
A
Yeah. Yeah.
- [23:39]
B
All right, my last question. If you were starting over your breeding program from scratch, which five of your current broodmares would you begin with and why and you can ignore age if you want.
- [23:51]
A
Okay, I'm gonna. If I have. If I can ignore age and pretend they're in their prime.
- [23:55]
B
Yeah.
- [23:55]
A
Okay. Okay. Okay. Kennedy for sure.
- [23:59]
B
I. Yeah, I was just.
- [24:00]
A
Okay. So Kennedy V is the first lady, obviously. She's mo. She's my most proven show horse. Mayor, four time NSBA World Champion, Congress Champion, Reserve World Champion. Just like. Yeah, amazing. So she would absolutely be number one. And obviously we just love what she's producing. I mean, she's the mother of my young stallion, Denver. She has Cheyenne. Yeah, Cheyenne Margot Kirby. And then she just had a Philly by VS Flatline that I think just won 16 grand, like two days ago in a. In a class. Class, yeah. Slay like her. Her babies are doing good. That's her second oldest after Denver.
- [24:40]
B
Okay, cool.
- [24:41]
A
So Kennedy, Trudy. Cattails are blazing for sure. So she herself is an NSBA World Champion. She's produced a Congress champion, Reserve AQHA World Champion, NSBA World, you know, all the things. So she is Daphne's mom, Penelope's mom. She. Penelope's gonna be her next baby in the show pin. Cool. And so she only has one that's shown, but even then, she's producing phenomenally. So they're both like, there's my, like, Western Champion and Hunter Under Saddle Champions. It's like, I've got those two, but they're bred pretty similarly. And so I would absolutely still bring in Indie, which is my killpen thoroughbred mare that I paid. I can't remember if it was. It was somewhere between $811,000 like I think it was. Yeah. I love her and I love her diversity into my gene pool.
- [25:31]
B
She's grown on me for sure.
- [25:33]
A
I would love to have her back in her prime because she's a senior mayor at this point, so we don't have that, you know, who knows how many more babies we'll have, you know, if I decide to do Ixy with her or whatever. But I would love to have her in a private. So, Indy, I need to think for a second. I need to think for a second. Sophie. I already have a VS Code Red daughter. I already have a hot and blazing daughter. I have a thoroughbred. So I'm gonna go ahead and kick out Ginger and Annie because they are both half sis. They. They're both hot and blazing in VS Code Red. So I don't need more if I'm only going five.
- [26:18]
B
Yep.
- [26:19]
A
So that kick, I'm going to kick out. I'm going to kick out Happy.
- [26:21]
B
Okay.
- [26:22]
A
Because I. Yeah. Make out happy.
- [26:25]
B
You've got Sophie, Buttercup.
- [26:27]
A
Erlene.
- [26:28]
B
Erlene.
- [26:29]
A
This is hard, though.
- [26:30]
B
You.
- [26:30]
A
So I have two hunt seat mares. I need another western one.
- [26:36]
B
This tough question.
- [26:39]
A
So I would. I would say Ricky.
- [26:42]
B
Okay.
- [26:43]
A
Except for the fact that. That Ricky only has one baby on the ground. Yeah. That we can see. And she's on her hip. Buttercup, I know, is a producer. Like, her babies have gone and, like, won and, like, shown and whatnot. Even though we haven't had a baby.
- [27:01]
B
Yeah.
- [27:02]
A
So she's an out cross, has old foundation bloodline her babies have produced. And she's a buckskin, so she's got color, genetics, proven progeny, all the thing. And she's an outcross Buttercup.
- [27:14]
B
Okay.
- [27:15]
A
Period Buttercup. And then Kennedy, Buttercup, Indy.
- [27:19]
B
Indy.
- [27:20]
A
Trudy. Trudy.
- [27:23]
B
Final one. What. What would you do? Any of the newer mares area.
- [27:28]
A
And then Earlene.
- [27:29]
B
Okay.
- [27:30]
A
Because she's allocate your assets and an iron enterprise mare. She's a total outcross for both of my studs and can be bred for both, like, all arounders and hunt seaters. Okay. Yeah. Earlene, which is red carpet debut and she's a phenomenal ex show horse, and she's only had one baby, but I think due to her. So they're all. And another reason why I didn't choose Beyonce is because she's a half sister to my stud, and so I could only breed her to one of my stuff.
- [27:55]
B
Yeah, you wouldn't be able to breed her that much.
- [27:59]
A
Yeah.
- [27:59]
B
Okay.
- [28:00]
A
T. Yeah, that's. That's hard.
- [28:02]
B
Yeah, that was a good question.
- [28:03]
A
That's my. That's my. That's my five, though. Sweet.
- [28:07]
B
That's all the questions I have. I can look up some more if you want.
- [28:10]
A
I think we're good. I think, honestly, we're gonna have so much to talk about over the next couple weeks. With the trips and into foaling season, I guess I will touch on the fact that Annie, at this point in time, still has not had her baby. Maybe by the time that we've posted this, she will have had it. And I'm really hoping she has it before we leave just so that I have a peace of mind. But due to the fact that when I bred her, I did not know I was gonna have a horse to show, and I really honestly thought she was gonna have it by now. And. And so when I said yes to doing this horse show and, like, paid all the money for these horses to go, and they're already there, like, they're waiting on me right now. She's gonna have to go to the clinic if she hasn't had it. And honestly, with the way that foaling season's been going, maybe that's for the best.
- [28:52]
B
Maybe that's the best.
- [28:54]
A
So we'll still get to see it. And they've. You know, honestly, my vets are. They know me well, and they're really good about getting on video for me and stuff like they did with Maggie. So, um, I think. I think it'll be good regardless. But Annie's our last one do. Um, and then we have only a couple mini horses and kidding season and all the things, so we're about to have lots of fun in the sun. And. Yeah, I just hope we. We end on a high note for. For folding season. But thank y' all for your questions. I hope that kind of brought you up to speed. And we will see y' all in the next one. Matt, next time, don't talk so much. Yeah, how about that? You were just rude and interrupting.
- [29:35]
C
I'm cutting immediately. Before you say all. No, before then it was just to catch up with quick Q and A with you and Lindsay. And now here I am. Now I'm entered the chat.
- [29:46]
A
All right. Hope you all enjoyed. See you in the next one.
