More Baby Pictures

Second post of the day.

Just some photos of the little guy to enjoy!

 With that big blaze and two high socks, I think he is going to be a gorgeous horse.

 He is inquisitive, active, and seems pretty bold.

And he keeps up with mama very well.

Tim gets home later today. I can't wait to hear what he thinks about his newest herd member.

What?! There's a Baby??

(This is the third post of the day, but hey, we have a baby!)

After I had checked Sultanna and her son over, I left the nursery paddock and went into the adjoining pasture. Abby saw me and came up for a carrot and a scritch. She hung out with me for about ten minutes before she noticed that there was someone new in the nursery paddock. I happened to be taking videos of the baby and caught it on camera.

Sultana is turning out to be a very good mama!

Look Who is Here!

I went out to the barn early this morning and look what I found!

 Sultanna had foaled several hours earlier and has a beautiful colt.

 She was happy to let me come see him and didn't object when I handled him and checked him over. Neither did he.

He's the same color she and her full brother, Snickerdoodle, were when they were foaled so I expect he will grow up and be a beautiful palomino just like his dam and sire.

He's got the biggest white blaze - he's going to be a stunner when he grows up.

Sultanna may be the lowest of the low in herd pecking order, but her maternal skills are in full force.

 She sniffed noses with Abby but made sure her foal was protected.

I'm so glad he is here, I could turn cartwheels!
