Being sick after the 4 days at the field station, we brought the horses over to Josef & Renate’s garden, where rumors had it that the green grass had started to grow.
The horses were thrilled and wasted no seconds throwing themselves on the Nigerien grass buffet table!
Future Armani danGodiya (assuming it’s a boy, of course!) wiggled happily in his mother’s belly.
Tabita was thrilled to have the horses in her garden;
…and the horses were equally thrilled to have all space to their disposal!
Sahara literally seemed high on fresh grass, and acted more like a youthful filly than a mother-to-be.
Ah, they had a great time!

can’t wait to see the pictures of the little one once it’s born!
Du anar inte hur mycket jag längtar till jag ska få njuta av dessa underbara hästar och livet i Niger…
Wow the mares look great! Only 7 months or so until the foal arrives… how exciting!
@O: The grass is the biggest treat of the year for them! If their bellies weren’t expanding before, I’d have no way of telling that they were actually in foal. Arwen did that last year - ate herself fat on green grass and had us all believing she was in foal… No such mistakes this time!
@Anette: Oh Anette, I have no problems envisioning how badly you long back to Niger, especially not when your mare Sahara is looking so grand!
@Amanda: Thanks! Actually, although Sahara is due in six month, Arwen is due in two. So at the end of September, we should have a little one bouncing about if all goes well!
