February…
February at Cabinwood Farm is the shortest and yet longest month of the year! The weather can be brutal in both temperature and snowfall or sometimes it is mild but it is always one thing…dreary and it’s hard to get through! Winter seems to never end and spring still seems so far away. Today we post 2 neat things that are going on here at Cabinwood.
One is our Afghan puppy Summer and the other is our donkey jennet Hauenstein’s Black Satin Gypsy. After months of not knowing if this puppy would survive, Summer is now 6 months old and growing into a real beauty! She was given a clean bill of health by the vet and we were told to continue doing for her whatever it is we’ve been doing. All of us, including our Sheltie Sasha shown playing with Summer above, just love this puppy!
The second good thing is we believe that Gypsy is in foal by our herdsire Red Sierra for this spring! Gypsy has never been able to conceive and carry a foal before so although she has not been officially tested for pregnancy, we are very hopeful that she can have a healthy foal sometime in April!!!
Hopefully, too, February will go fast and be mild in both snows and temperatures this year! We need some green grass and warm breezes for our new foals that are coming soon!
