		<description><![CDATA[The vet came today to do a 30 day check on Cori&#8217;s pregnancy (again, she is bred to Beart 411 via frozen semen). The fetus was a little blob with two arm-like vestiges on each side of the blob. The &#8220;arms&#8221; appeared segmented. In fact, this was the backbone and the segments were vertebrae.

		<description><![CDATA[Cori and baby Freya. May, 2009 I have taken my mares Dahlia and Cori to Va Tech twice now for inseminations. Once in late May. At that time neither became pregnant. I took them again in early June and got test results yesterday. Dahlia (being crossed with Onne 376) still did not catch. But Cori [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Quick update:  Cori and Dahlia came home from Va Tech Equine hospital on Tuesday. They were there 8 days as they went through their cycle and were inseminated with frozen semen by the experts there. Cori ovulated much earlier than anyone forecasted. The vets did a post ovulation insemination but I feel certain it was [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Ficus (Mintse x Wierd x Tsjerk) recently turned 1 year old. He is a pretty thing and full of rambunctiousness and energy. With his breeding he will likely be quite a powerful mover, especially in the trot. Presently he is a typical yearling &#8211; a little off balance and gawky. A pretty thing though.

		<description><![CDATA[In 20009 we bred only one mare due to the slow economy. This was Hiltje&#8217;s foal and it was born a few weeks ago. Unfortunately the foal was premature and it passed away before ever being able to nurse. That was very sad for us. This year we are looking to breed three mares, but [...]]]></description>

This has made even the small things a bit of a burden, so I feel very behind. But ya know, the days go by, and spring is here, and it is time to decide about [...]]]></description>

She is 6 months old now and entering the gawky &#8220;ugly Friesian&#8221; stage. I can hardly wait to see what butterfly will come out of the cocoon when she hits 3 years old. [...]]]></description>

Meinse, imported to America last year, is a 5 year old son of Heinse 354. People who know me know how much I loved Heinse, who died this past spring. [...]]]></description>
