Rabbit (That's Me!): Waiting, waiting, waiting....

I am still waiting for Fruit to have her baby...oops I mean foal. I've waited 11 1/2 months, what's a few more days? I am excited about this baby, yet a little melancholy since this is my last baby for a while. Fruit is sold, heading to her new home this fall after the baby is weaned. I am going to be out of the breeding business for a while, to concentrate on showing the horses I have right now. I can't afford to do both, so I made the decision to choose between the two.

Amazing that just 2 years ago I was sitting in this very position - waiting on a foal. Fruit held on for 2 weeks after I thought she'd give birth....made for some long nights sleeping in my horse trailer in the barn driveway. Amazing, since that baby I waited for is now two, and I started trotting her under saddle this week. 2 years ago it was April, 2004. I was a newlywed (LOL!) and made some major changes in my life. Looking back, some of those changes have stuck (I am still married, still living on Hazel, still in love ). Some of those changes have changed back (I am back at GVTC with Taylor, back to my annoying self). 2 years can make or break a person, and it can make or break a relationship. we like to think we are all growing and evolving constantly, but I think for the most part we remain stagnant until some major life force throw us off track and we change in order to survive.
