This Friday I was fortunate to help a friend drive his Fresian mares to a clinic near A & M for their Artificial Insemination. I believe the stallion was located in CA therefore the long distance romance....It had been a while since they had been loaded in a trailer, so we had a bit of excitement as we got them loaded and ready to go, but once they were inside it was smooth sailing. Our route took us through Houston, but we missed the rush hours, so it wasn't too bad. There was one point where the traffic was heavy, and a big truck slammed on his air brakes, and we felt that trailer rocking! Poor babies. They live in the boonies and so all the traffic and noises were very strange to them. We arrived safely, here are the girls at the clinic. They are very interested in the baby the arab mare has in the next pen. (The baby is laying on the ground in front of her dam.) 
They will remain at the clinic for about 2 weeks and come home pregnant (we hope!)
This was my first trip to the A&M area and I thought it was beautiful! I loved the rolling hills and trees, and of course, all the ranches.
