Our Cover Girl

Superior halter horse with 312 Open and 14 Amateur halter points

February 25th, 2009 - This week has turned into a tough week. We lost Our Cover Girl on Monday and are trying to get another mare to take her beautiful bay/overo stallion by Kids Classic Style. Our Cover Girl is the mother to the three awesome paint Kids Classic Style foals that I have posted on the foaling page. She had EPM when we bought her from Classic Acres many years ago and has always had trouble walking and getting up. We didn’t want to put her down because she seemed to still enjoy life and loved having foals. We always gave her extra TLC and kept her close to the barn. When she would get close to foaling we would bring her in the barn. She always had trouble getting up in the stall (even in a 12 x 24 stall) and that is what killed her on Monday. She got down overnight and could not get back up and died from fluid on her lungs.  She was getting worse every year and we knew this day would come and that is why we collected embryos last year. Her poor baby looked so lonely.  Fortunately we have an old mare that foaled recently and she has accepted him as her own. There was about a day which was tough on the little guy but he is going strong again! We will miss Our Cover Girl terribly but she will live on in all three of her great foals.
