So this Friday nigh (February 10th) is a full moon, AND an eclipse ANNDDD, there's a comet!!!

The mare we have that's having her foal, she's started pacing and showing signs that's ages within days of foaling. As my mother had told me, she believes horses will foal on a full moon. With this in mind, there's an eclipse, not really sure but I think this is kind of like the full moon thing. Then there's a comet. Triple threat as some people have said. And with her acting like she is its more possible to happen!

Another 'story'

We got a miniature horse because my mom wanted one and she was hoping she was going to have a foal. Turns out she had a false pregnancy (as she's over 30 years old and been bred almost every year) so we got a few more on a lease to get a baby from one or two of them (we got one). We had a filly name all picked out (we were going to name her Tequila Rose or Rosie after my aunts dog who passed away shortly before. Instead we got a colt and named him Tobias (from the movie Divergent). A year and a half later, we saw the mare on an auction site and my mom saw her and HAD to get her ( the picture was 'ugly' as she's got horrible conformation and it just gross and dirty) to this day my mom can't tell why she got her. I chose the name Beatrice for her because Beatrice is also from divergent and I just couldn't think of a better name. (We've had her for nearly 5 months so far) we are now hoping to get a filly so we can name it Tequila Rose. But if it happens to be a colt (I'm debating whether ot not I want to name him Texas Whiskey and call him Tex or name him after the full moon, the eclipse, or the comet if he happens to be born this Friday. Probably Blue Moon, Eclipse, or Honda (Honda because that's part of the comets name).

It's only Wednesday and I'm pretty anxious to to see how fast Friday comes :)) I'm quite excited to see what color the baby is! (She was an auction horse and was bred before we got her so it could be ANY color or really any breed. It's probably going to be a little chestnut pony like her but you never know)

I think I covered everything for now! I'll update you again when she has it!
