Bitch, bitch, bitch. 😃 Here ya go: [Pacific Pintos](http://www.marestare.com/fcam.php?alias=pacificpintos) – and Joanne got back, came in to Cloud, hooked a lead rope on her and took her out of the stall. Not back. [Moka](http://www.marestare.com/fcam.php?alias=elements) – [here’s a link to their foal watch page](http://www.elementsarabians.com/2010fw.html) where they tell us they have a [second cam](http://www.marestare.com/fcam.php?alias=elements2) (not currently streaming) on another mare, Jadzia, when she’s inside. [True Colours (Pearl and not-dead foal)](http://www.marestare.com/fcam.php?alias=truecolours) [Centaur Farms](http://www.marestare.com/fcam.php?alias=centaur) – none on camera currently but they have three more mares due to foal sometime. [It’s the Mandy and Barry show!](http://www.marestare.com/fcam.php?alias=unbridled) [LaDeDa at Silver Creek](http://www.marestare.com/fcam.php?alias=silvercreek) [Athena at Silver Creek](http://www.marestare.com/fcam.php?alias=silvercreektwo) [Maple Creek Arabians](http://www.marestare.com/fcam.php?alias=maplecreek) ---

Huh – Athena’s tail is now unwrapped. ETA: Cloud’s back in her stall and is eating hay. What was China’s stall is being cleaned. ---

Crud. All the cameras load except for Moka’s and Chino’s. Guess I’ll have to wait till I get home to see the little guy. ETA: Yay! It finally loaded. What a cutie! Still all wobbly… ETA2: Moka’s a very mellow mom. ---

I believe that’s Celeste in what was China’s stall. She’s their tiniest mare, only 28 inches tall. Their description of her: > [@](#): > > Celeste is known at our ranch affectionately as my teddy bear because of her size, bay color, and personality. Our smallest mare, at just 28 inches, she makes up for her diminutive size by having an incredible personality. For those of you that have seen the outstanding British comic strip by Norman Thelwell, Celeste looks just like one of the “Thelwell ponies”. And she certainly has a bigger than life character to match any of those ponies in the comic strip! She is another mare that continues to surprise us by producing loud colored foals. Ones that are far more refined and taller than she is, and foals that have a lot of leg. Celeste has produced homozygous tobianos, toveros, sabinos, and solids. We always wait for her next foal with great anticipation. Her sire is Carousel Galaxy a tobiano pinto from the Texans, Shady Acres, and Lil Ponderosa lines. Her dam is Stouts Sweet Potato, a silver dapple bay tovero pinto mare that is pure Stouts on both top and bottom of her pedigree. Celeste is one of our ranch’s earliest acquisitions in 1996 when she was four years old. She had her first foal with us, Pacific Dual Image, a stunning black tovero pinto colt that we showed for several years. As of 2009 she has produced eight foals for us. One of which we have retained for breeding; her daughter, Pacific Desire, who is herself now part of our brood mare herd. Shown here at seventeen years young, Celeste remains a miniature horse to never underestimate. She has earned the title of “Barn Queen”, having passed up several other “Barn Princesses”, along the way. She is a true treasure that we have been honored to share our time with. Celeste was bred by my mentor and friend, Lynda Baerthlein Marzac at Sugar Creek Farms. ---

So are China and Tea-Bao out of the picture (so to speak) now? Bummer. I loved watching him. ---

Yes. Joanne said on the phone she was sorry to take them off-camera but she can’t afford more than the camera coverage she has now, and she has at least a half-dozen mares all due to pop. The problem is deciding which four go into the covered stalls. ---

Just popping in to say that I’m not really watching the cams anymore. I’m too worried that something terrible will happen and I’ll see it. I’ll keep watching Mandy and Barry for as long as they have the cams up though. I’ve just fallen in love with both of them. ---

Update on Athena from the Mare Stare board: > [@](#): > > Athena had an ultrasound this morning and all looked good. Grin > > She had a non-boring episode around 8:30 pm. She has decided to be uncomfortable again now. I bet she drags this out a couple more days. ---

Lady at Pacific Pinto may be about to pop. Restless, pawed, also did an almost-dog-squat/sorta scoot. They’ve got the camera exclusively on her right now. Now she’s lying down. Looking at her flank. ---
