Sweet Girl's Second Day

Sweet Girl's second day of life started off snowy and chilly.  (That's April in Indiana - temps in the 80s are expected later this week.)

Sultanna, Sweet Girl, and Hokey were out in the pasture when I arrived early in the morning.

Like the old barn and the loafing shed, the blue barn can be opened to allow the horses to come and go as they wish.  I could tell that it had been used overnight.

Hokey has been told to keep his distance, and that continued on into the foal's second day.

During my afternoon visit, Sultanna continued to tell him to stay away.

She even took her baby to the far side of the pasture when Hokey strayed closer than Sultanna was comfortable with.

When Snickerdoodle, Sultanna's brother was born, Tim invited Lisa's students to come up with a name for him and Snickerdoodle was the winning name. Lisa sent Tim another list for this baby yesterday.

The list she sent was heavily influenced by a book the class is reading together. No name has been given yet, but in the meantime, I am calling her Sweet Girl.

More baby pics to come, so stay 'tooned!
