There are right around 60 Thoroughbreds at the sanctuary that are my responsibility. There are over 400 animals total. Horses, donkeys, goats, sheep, llamas and alpacas. It's a huge operation, but it's run by good people and has pretty good funding. They take really good care of the animals.

I haven't bred horses either, but have worked for a bunch of really high end breeders. Now I work for a huge horse sanctuary and am in charge of the rescued Thoroughbreds. I'm having so much fun with the goats now though at home!
Thanks! We don't know much about breeding goats, but we thought our does were fairly nice looking and we found a fancy looking buck so we thought we'd give it a try. Coming from the horse world I would really scold people who approached breeding that way, so I realize we are probably making...
Thanks! Maybe I will. I love that photo too. There's another one of him kind of jumping through the lupine that I love too. It inspired our herd name, Lupine Hill. The kids so far are Lupine Hill Cajun Spice (the red buckling we are keeping), Lupine Hill Mango Chutney (the tiny spotted...
Thanks! Yeah I was pretty happy with how they all turned out. I'll attach photos of the buck and doe as well. Our other doe is much lighter colored, kind of cream/tan and white, so it'll be interesting to see what her kid(s) look like.
Thanks all. Here are a few photos. This was from day 1, they're a little sturdier looking now. The reddish and white one lying down is the buckling. The other two are doelings. We're probably selling the doelings to my father in law, and keeping the buckling (we will wether him) as a...
Thank you! I think I'm just worrying like a first time mom. They're so small and fragile right now but they do seem healthy and mom is very healthy so they'll probably be just fine.
Our other doe is due in about two weeks. Based on her xray, we're expecting a single but it was taken pretty...
Hi
I have two Nigerian Dwarf does that are first fresheners this year. They're both two years old. The first kidded on Sunday night. Everything went smoothly and quickly, and she had triplets! One of the three is quite large and the other two are pretty tiny. They seem healthy. The big one...
