I really hate to be a wet blanket here, because I really like this horse. But, fivemile, what are you going to do if there are foaling complications with Katydid? It sounds like you are short on funds and a foal out gone wrong can cost alot of money. Not to mention the foal will be eating like a horse in a short amount of time. I want to see this mare safe too. But she needs to be with someone who can cover any emergencies that may go with her pregnancy. You can not count on someone else to pay the bills, believe me, it will not happen. I work for a veterinarian, I am a tech. I have a good account and they will let me make payments should there be complications. If you have a better offer for her by all means take it. I was just trying to help her. If there is someone else waiting for her I am happy to let them take her as long as they know what they're doing! I meant no offense to you. I am happy you are taking her as I was worried for her and the foal. I was only worried that she was in a home that would be able to provide for her. And it looks like you are going to be that home, so congratulations. I look forward to your updates of her and the baby.

I just want to say thank you to all my new friends on this board! I feel so happy and proud to be a part of you. Gratefulknits I hope to meet you in person (which I will when you get your baby) ;)and give you a big hug. I promise to give Katy and Mr. Magoo their forever homes. Any and all of you are welcome to come visit any time. I am super excited for both horses to come join our family. I am overwhelmed with how kind you all are.
Are there ever any functions where we all get together? I'd love to meet you guys. My kids are driving me crazy asking every day when Mr. Magoo is coming!! They are dying to meet him. They talk about Little Joe every day and say that they understand that we are supposed to help Mr. Magoo. I am happy to have them learn understanding and compassion at such an early age. Thank you all for helping me and these horses!! Maybe we should have a big bbq at my place this summer? Then you could see the baby Katy, and Mr. Magoo!

Jill, some of us (about 50ish+) are getting together (husbands, kids, & dogs too) in Westfir, Oregon at Tired Dog Ranch, who is owned by this way cool lady, named Amy Jo, for a campout July 11-13. Amy Jo is going to have a keg for us & make home made cookies too!! Check out the campout thread. And, Tarra, aka, rescueribbons & Alyssa, aka lilypondfarm is going to be our pooper scoopers (for horses)LOL!!! Some are bringing tents, campers, etc & most are bringing their rescue horse & some are not bringing any horses all. We just want to meet everybody. Can you make it?
