Well... our quiet spell has ended! We've had four new arrivals in the past week. Maria was soon joined by Bilbo and Pippin, with Frodo as the surprise addition that day as well. Maria was very healthy and came from a loving home. They just wanted us to find her a great new home. We just happened to have someone on the waiting list who was waiting for just such a Mini as Maria, and it was a complete bonus that she was black as night and matched the current set! She's gone to live with Jet and his Friesian buddy!

So... let's shuffle through everyone else... Dash is STILL pregnant. However, her udder has kickstarted into gear, so I do feel that she will foal in 2 - 4 weeks. LOL
Twilight and Applejack are ever larger and I'm starting to keep a closer eye on them as well.
Magpie had her teeth and eyes taken care of and I'm sure she's feeling much better now. Her teeth were horrible and her eyes are now staying much clearer after being treated. I don't know if it's a long-term solution, but we'll work on them again in a while. Her leg wounds are absolutely spiffy! We are within days of the third smallest wound being completely closed. The unwrapped wound is shrinking at a tremendous rate with the vet scraping the excess granulation tissue every other week. The final large wound over the tendons on the back of the wrapped leg is looking terrific! Everything is covered with granulation tissue and the wound is shrinking relatively quickly as well. I think she will be running free by late spring! I can't wait to see the day!
Cinnabar is getting some TLC at his foster home. Here is the promised video.
Epic, Mac, Starbright, Hula and Willow are chillaxin' at their foster homes as well. Fluttershy has been Adopted and is leaving for her new home on Thursday! She'll be in the same town as her sister Pinkie Pie!
