The Two Week Wait Thread!!

Just confirmed Brauhaus (Budweiser/Puchilingui) to Banderas. :slight_smile: I’m looking forward to having a foal around again next year.

To mlcoursin re Trakehner mare inspections

I just checked the American Trakehner website for the 2011 inspection schedule (see www.americantrakehner.com). There are no inspections in Virginia (or Maryland) scheduled this year…at this time. If ā€œenoughā€ mares can be brought together for an inspection at an approriate site, however, it may be possible to have an additional inspection(s). This info comes from the ATA website. I don’t know how many mares would be ā€œenoughā€. I had my mare inspected about 4 years ago at a farm in Maryland and there were 6 or 7 mares. But, I’ve seen some reports of inspections where there were only 4 mares. I don’t know what the minium number is. You might consider contacting the ATA office (call them up, I’ve always found them nice, and helpful). Contact info is on the website.

OK! So, I have a foal coming, too, after all these years!

I finally decided to breed my Trakehner mare, Amulette (by Unkenruf out of Ada by Enrico Caruso). She’s been bred to the Trakehner Veneziano (Guter Stern/Amagun). Last week she passed the 14-day milestone! Hopefully, she’ll pass the 30-day check next week and the 45-day check, too! I won’t feel at all easy until after the 45-day check! I will be in the nail-biting stage until then!!

This will be Amulette’s first foal, and she was bred with frozen semen. I didn’t know there was any frozen semen for Veneziano available since he died in 1999. Just my luck to learn some was available early this year! I saw him when he was in Virginia, and liked him a lot back then. I was really thrilled to find that he was available, and I think he will be a good cross for my mare.

Tiadora (Tantris - Dachs) was just rebred to Donarweiss after conceiving attached twins in our first attempt. She has two follicles again that look like they are about to ovulate. I hoping if they do, they are separate so that one can be successfully reduced. I really hope that this is the last time I have to breed a mare this year…

One a more relaxing note, Charisma (Contucci - At the Thresholdxx) had a 30 day check and is still in foal to Qredit. Yay! I can’t believe I only have one mare confirmed in foal.

JenRose: Good luck with Cabalito! We have a 4 yr old by Cabalito and he is truly STUNNING! And a good mind, just thought I would say that.

I am joining the 2 week wait with the broodmare I leased for the year, to use my mare’s breeding. It has been an awful year so far, so here’s hoping this works out.

Carola (Carolus I/Latino) just checked in foal this am to Catoki. :smiley: I’m SO excited and even more stressed as today is only day 13.

Still waiting on mare #2s check.

There are going to be some super COTH babies next year! :slight_smile:

Joy (Jupiter) just checked in foal to our Rio Grande son Dino. He is out of a super scopey Grand Prix Australian mare.

Finally!!! Been a rough spring for breeding! Fresh cooled has been the way to go!
TB mare in foal to Rosenthal, HB check good.
TB mare in foal to Qredit.
Feiner Stern mare in foal to Qredit. Tried 4 times with frozen to Royal Classic with no luck.
Fidertanz mare in foal to Benetton Dream. Failed with dose we had to Romanov :frowning:
Dutch mare to be checked next Wed. to Royal Prince.
Never ever had to reinseminate so many times!!!

One confirmed Royal Classic preg, and 2 week wait for the Benidetto and Charmeur breedings, all frozen this year

Last one bred–frozen.

Two confirmed w/heart beats (one frozen, one fresh). Each caught on the first try…hoping my luck holds on this last one!

My Holsteiner mare Winter Eve, by Chaka Khan (Cor de la Bryere) was bred to Landkoenig today! This is a repeat cross. She had a lovely Landkoenig colt this year. Fingers crossed!

My KWPN-NA mare was bred to Royal Prince on Tuesday.
Triple ovulated…ugh…
Hope that means at least ONE will take!!

Thanks Kim!!

I’m on pins and needles, but they’re enjoying her.
They say she’s the boss mare and is in charge of who comes and goes, as well as, announcing anything new going on!!

Add us to the list

We just bred our big mare Select Dancer xx to Spy Coast Farm’s Renaissance (Lux Z-Silvio I-Landadel). Two thumbs up on the semen… 89%+ at 24 hours according to Rood & Riddle :yes:

Next up this week are Papillon to Harley VDL, Pik’s Pandora back to Blue Hors Romanov and then Cayah Bay to Jaguar Mail on her 30-day. Going to be busy these next couple of weeks!

Good to have some good news for a change. SPS Püppi (Prince Thatch xx/ Argentan) was just checked in foal to Don Schufro in Germany. Jumping up and down with joy. :D:D:D:D:D
