What a nice, respectable time for her to foal out for you. Good girl! She looks beautiful herself, no wonder her colt has a pretty head.
Twice Enticed has a nice ring to it. Could call him āDittoā as a barn name. Orā¦ Encore?
Good luck at your schooling show today, report back ā who are you taking??

Entice is a gorgeous mare, I couldnāt help taking a pic tonight in the stall, she is so black and shiny she looks wet. While she produces very well made foals, they havenāt fared well at the track and this is her last commercial foalā¦she visits Saketini this year to make something nice for sport. 
I took Saketini and my 10yo OTTB āMonsterā to a schooling 3 phase event. Saketini loped around the P/T to finish 2nd, and Monster took 4th in his training division, just a few time penalties on XC (working on rideability!). I had a good time, but I hope to sleep in tomorrow! If Prayer Bell allows, of courseā¦

Delayed updateā¦Prayer Bell did not allow for sleep, and but my bedtime was already ruined by Ultimate Class. At 10pm Wednesday night, there was a puddle of blood in Classās stall, and she had spent an unusual amount of the day lying down. Out of caution, we took her to UF hospital to get checked out. The blood appears to source from a vaginal laceration, and fingers crossed nothing more serious (I was concerned about a broad ligament tear or something). Class stayed at UF overnight for observation to be safe. I arrived home at 2am, to notice Prayer Bell a bit restless (sheās usually a statue). No wax, milk cloudy lemonade color tested low 6 and 25 brix, so āmaybe tonight, maybe not.ā
Foalert went off at 3:15, and āLadyā delivered a huge healthy filly at 3:30am. Up and nursed by 4:30, very smart filly who figures things out fast. Big and plain dark bay, like her pedigree would suggest. She looks like a baby brontosaurus!
7 down. 3 to go. 1 (Comica) sitting at 336 days, so #teamnosleep continues. Comica has a very small bag, but is a maiden so she makes her own rules.

Can I play?
My life is crazy right now so breeding has been on the back burner for a bit.
I found myself a nice, low key riding horse to fill an empty stall after I lost my retired broodmare earlier this year. New horse shipped to me a little over two weeks ago. Sheās also an older, retired broodmare who was restarted under saddle and has been in training for several months.
Well, surprise. It looks like someone wasnāt quite ready for retirement. Come to find out sheās day 352 after her last breeding they thought didnāt catch (or was exposed to something after that and is scary early). A little over a week ago she lost her tone around her tail. A few days ago she started bagging up. Her milk is still pretty thin and clear/yellow. She had some waxing-like droplets this afternoon, though, or maybe just some dried leakage. She was really quiet this afternoon but once I brought her in for dinner she was bright, ravenous, and mugging me for carrots.
Itās been a whirlwind couple weeks I tell ya. Iām not really set up for this at the moment. Quite frankly I was in denial until she bagged up and started expressing milk. Iām going back and forth on sending her somewhere. Earlier today I thought there was a good chance she would foal tonight, but now Iām not so sure.

Thatās quite a shocker. Who is the sire?

She was bred to his guy (sheās a standardbred, not my usual TB):

So probably him, unless this is a total oops that happened after her last breeding date.

EXCUSE ME?? Jesse???
Omg!!! Keep us updated.
EDIT: Do you mean to say this little surprise is going to be extra linebred to the very special Artsplace???
Soā¦ How about 3/27 for a birthdate?

Heās obviously in demand since his 2022 book is full. You may have quite the talented foal on your hands. 
@Texarkana, thatās excitingāat least for us. And hopefully for you too. I assume the āretiredā mare is a Standardbred as well? You may need a new hobby.
SB names are so funny- I really want to know how a horse ended up with the name āThe Booger Lady.ā

Haha, yes. While 3/27 would be awesome (and probably what will happen because itās me), that would be day 369 from her last cover. Ooof. Unless this foal isnāt by that stallion after all.
@LaurieB Yes, she is standardbred. She was supposed to be my no drama riding horse. Hmmm.
@skydy Wouldnāt that be nice? I donāt know what will happen because this is a logistical mess. Right now I just hope we have a healthy mare and foal.
