All good. 'Lady', positive and single. Was a right 'filly' in the crush, but nothing too serious. She just seems to cope badly with 'firsts'. 'Showtime' also positive and single:) 'Alex', a mare who lost twins at full term 2 seasons ago, is proving to be a little more difficult. We scanned to to see where she was at. 4.2mm on the right, 2.7 on the left. Both pear-shaped and ready to go. We served her in the yards and turned her away, looking at scanning her in 21 days. Please oh please....only one! She is a lovely big mare and will make great foals! Only disappointment was 'Maddy', and there is no real surprise there as she was transitional cycling when she arrived....went on forever! So she had a nice big follicle on the right, ready to go and should come in to season in the next 24 hours. Done.
I had to go out and molest the filly a bit more today: Most unusual looking girl! If she stays chestnut, it will be a dark liver, but I suspect she may even go gray? Bay would be best.....but I think the phrase 'clutching at straws' may be applicable!
Very sprightly girl with loads of personality and still no name. Rocketess? Ramona? Roux? Reallyfunnycolour? Any suggestions?

Rock 'On? Grats on the scanning - we have not even started covering mares yet. I'm a bit over breeding season already and it has not even begun *sigh*.
