For everyone who knows me!
I've been MIA for awhile now... Life kinda caught up with me a bit! SOOO much has happened. For starters - I gave birth to a beautiful baby girl in March. Her name is Sophia. She was 7lbs 11oz and 21 3/4in long. She came out with a full head of hair and beautiful blue eyes. So far she is a GREAT baby! She hardly fusses and seems t know what she wants - once you figure it out - she's all good again. She consistently sleeps 5-6 hours each night so we are able to get some sleep at least.
In other news: I FINALLY got my Akhal-Teke! Yay for me! He is a wild-type bay with a star and two diagonal socks. His dad is Gindarkh 13 and he turns 1yr old in July. The farm I purchased him from is letting me take an older gelding they have on loan while he grows up for me to ride. So maybe I will get to do some showing soon! He is a colt now but I will be gelding him as I board and they won't let me keep a stallion. His registered name is Gyrgy and it means "Hawk" in Turkmene. Hawk will be his barn name. I will post some pictures as soon as he gets here. I am waiting for shipping arrangements to work out.

How exciting! I love the name Hawk and can't wait to see some pictures of your new horse, and your lease too.
Sounds like Sophia was just like Caitlin, never gave us a hard time at all. |

Thanks! :) Looks like the shipper will be bringing them LATE at night next friday. Hmm... I think I might gather a few friends and have a "tailgate" party while I wait for them that night lol.... we'll see...
The yearling has not really been worked with much... when I went to see him in person a few weeks ago - I actually gave him his first grooming ever! He was a bit unsure of it... and me... it seems to take a little while for the Tekes to warm up to new people... they seem to be a bit aloof till they think you are OK and then they are super friendly.
One of the geldings I looked at to buy didn't work out - his hocks were pretty much shot. But he has a happy ending too bc last I heard he was going to go live at the KHP as a representative for his breed. :)
I will post pics soon!
And a question for Larissa - Did your hair fall out after you had your little girl?? I had thin hair to start with and now what I've got is falling out at a scary pace! I really hope I don't go patchy/bald!! They don't tell you these things BEFORE you decide to have kids! yikes!

| Lol, no they keep a lot of things secret don't they. To answer your question, yes, that did happen to me too. It didn't last too long from what I can remember. I just figured it was because you hair apparently gets "thick and lush" while pregnant but I never noticed that part, only that my hair was falling out afterward. But my hair is just exactly the same as it always was once it stopped falling out. |
