Mares and Foals









Well calm at last, maybe I shouldn't say that, Murphy's law and all. anyhow to continue the story of Jade and Jill. Jade is now relaxed and very happy with her baby, which by the way is the sweetest little filly ever.......of course I'm biased, she really is a doll though. Jade foaled in the wee hours of Thurs. morning. After the big war Jill ran around all day acting crazy. Late afternoon she had calmed down considerably. In the wee hours of Fri. morning Jill had her own baby a black colt that is going to be a blue roan, he already has the white hairs around his flanks. Everyone seems healthy and happy, they all have their right moms. The mares are now penned across from each other, they are allowing themselves to get a little closer every day. I guess they aren't mad at each other any more.....well not as mad. So here are some baby photos they look like twins. The filly is 1/2 morgan and 1/2 Canadian. The colt is part Percheron, Quarter/ and a little Mustang. At this point they look like they came from the same parents it is uncanny. The looks will change with age. The two top pics are the filly....can't think of a name yet. and the two bottom pics are the colt. Anyhow that's it for today. I have to go open up the Greenhouse before everything starts to wilt. Have a great day guys. Later.

There's a couple of cute little darlins! The filly does look feminine, and the boy looks rugged and strong. Now don't fall in love with them and not want to sell them!
