July What Am I Guessing Game and Meet Regal Knight Moon
Jul 08, 2025 6:01 pm
It's time for our monthly "What Am I" guessing game. The guessing game runs from Tuesday, July 8 to Tuesday July 15. Winners will be announced in the August What Am I newsletter (I email the winner privately). Click the image or the button to make your guess!
The Prize
I'm offering another Circle C coaster. What you see on the image is the ceramic/stone top part, where you put your hot or cold drink, and the cork backing, to keep it from being non-slipping on the table surface. A coaster is great to have, especially with summer just around the corner. The other prizes include a Circle C round magnet and one of my last Circle C notepads. These things suddenly shot up in price, so when they are gone, I will probably not reorder them.
June's Mystery Item: Fly's Eye
TWO WINNERS! As promised, I sent the audiobook prize, More Tales from the Circle C Ranch, to two winners (the notepad went to the first winner drawn from the correct guesses). Exactly half of the entries guessed correctly (41 out of 82 entries). The second-most guessed answer was a microphone,(which I found a clever guess, but not correct. Congratulations, Dorcas (#1) and Lelah (#2).
Our New Silver Buckskin Colt: Regal Knight Moon
Maggie, over twenty years old, had her newest foal on Tuesday, June 24. As expected, he was a colt. How did we know he would be a colt? Well, we used an old test (not an ultrasound). If you want to see how we determined his gender, click over to our "Nail & String Test." Hey, it sounds silly, but it worked! On both Jewels and Maggie. (I was open-mouthed in surprie while I held the string.) It's actually quite interesting.
Our little colt is a gorgeous "silver buckskin." Not your usual coloring, that's for sure. What's really awesome (and very strange) is the fact that he is the same coloring as Moonglow in the Andi short story, "Moonglow," from the Milestones book 6, Stranger in the Glade. Here's the excerpt I sent to Kristel about my invented description of Riley and Andi's beautiful colt.
"A few minutes later, Andi and Riley stood next to the stall railing and admired their stunning silver buckskin. The colt’s light-silver coat glistened, even in the dim light of the barn. He shook his sooty-black mane and swished his black tail. Four identical black stockings finished this masterpiece of God’s creation."
We are so grateful God spared Maggie's life. She struggled (being only 14hh with a colt out of 16hh Rubicon). It is her fifth or sixth foal, but her age was not working in her favor. His shoulders got stuck, and Maggie nearly gave up out of exhaustion. But Kristel was able to help pull him out, and he is alive and healthy. This will be Maggie's final colt. She is too old to keep doing this, although she loves, loves, loves foals and tries to adopt them all, even when she has her own.
