As a few of you know shes going into foal shortly. I thought id keep you guys updated as things progress. Partly because im bored at work and having nothing better to do!!
We took her down to the AI centre last night (5mins down the road in the lorry from our yard!). Poor Bloss was all excited going in the lorry as she hasnt been out for ages, when we unloaded her 5mins down the road i dont think she was that impressed - and she was even less impressed when we put her in the 'stocks' and the vet shoved his arm up her
(sorry to be crude here!)
So anyways was all very interesting and we looked at the pictures of her 'insides' on the computer screen which showed she'd just ovulated in the last couple of days and was shortly to be coming out of season.
So shes booked into the vets for 20th April, when she will have her injection to be brought into season. Then on monday 23rd April she'l go back down the vets for the to 'have a look' inside to see when is going to be right for her to be AI'd. She'l probably stay overnight on the monday and the tuesday of that week, as we think it will be the tuesday she will be 'done'.
Today i phoned the place that i need to order my chosen stallions semen through (we are using frozen because it is coming from abroad, my vet is confident this is fine). Anyways company i order through said its going to be 4 WEEKS until any frozen comes in and they cant garentee that the stallion i want will have frozen sent
So i got in contact with the stud where he is standing and they are sending me out the frozen which will arrive next tuesday/wednesday at my AI centre. All i do is fax them Bloss's passport and they do everything for me, which is fab!!
So im really pleased and also VERY excited
Oh, the stallion im using is Johnson
