Horse Breeding

JMS and I went to Three Chimney's Farm today with a group from my work. We got to see some of the greatest race horses and where they breed. Big Brown will be retiring to this farm in the very near future. We also learned all of the details of how to breed a thorough bred horse. They are not artificially inseminated folks! They have to do the deed or they are disqualified as a thorough bred. Each of the stallions mounts at least 110 mares a year, and the breeding season is only 6 months long (Feb - Sep). Don't worry...std's...each mare is carefully screened so that no one is contracting anything but a baby foal out of the deal.

Then, we went to Keeneland and watched 3 of the 9 races. Mommy made a little money, and then we came home.

At work...on Tuesday, I was on the look out for: humidifiers, wall light switch plates, pet steps, hannah montana costumes, pet costumes in size XL, iDogs, and camera battery chargers.

Update on the hubby, he wore an elvis costume to work today for the disco danceathon. Pictures coming soon!
