So did you have any new photos of the babies? Did you get the sire sold? I generally just lurk and love to read through all the forums and look at photos, and pick up any learning that I can. I was sad about the horse badge, because I wanted one because I love horses, but have not owned any since young adult-hood. You sound like you have the same problem I had. Way back then, I had 7 horses, for one young person, and there was no way I could keep them all ridden, and some needed it badly and they were usually the ones I didn't care to ride. I finally started selling and had two left. But then, even though I was young and healthy, the horses were in our barn (and small lots) which was 7 miles one way north from where I was living. My job was 20 miles south (the opposite direction) from where I was living. So I was traveling 14 miles morning and night just to feed and water. During a bad winter, the water at the barn froze, that is, the pump. At that point, I decided it just wasn't going to be, and I sold them all. I haven't owned a horse since.
