I took the plunge and tried breeding Nakota again. [Odin](http://woodmontfarm.com/odin.HTM) is the stud, a local Dutch warmblood stallion. He’s got a wonderful dispoisition, and throws beautiful babies that are talented in both dressage and jumping. Wish me luck! StG ---

Ooo Odin’s gorgeous! Sending sticky thoughts to Nakota! How are Peanut and Daisy doing? They’re my favorite Doper love story. ---

**Merneith** - LOL! They’re doing fine, although the bloom is a little off the rose - Peanut tried to steal some of Daisy’s grain! Daisy is building back muscle in her hindquarters. She had been so emaciated that her body had basically broken all the muscle down. Now she’s getting spunky enough to put her head down and chase dogs who are getting too close, or throw a kick at them. She’s still happiest when she’s with Peanut, although when I brought the big horses up when the vet came, she slipped out into the big pasture, and explored the wide world outside the paddock and yard. She was ready to come in at dinnertime, though. StG ---

Why this time of the year? A mid-September foal? Will be legally a yearling at less than 100 days old. Or doesn’t that matter for WB’s? [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/i-had-my-mare-inseminated-yesterday/588036.md?page=2)
