A nice family portrait of a pretty neonate colt and his watchful mother.
A lovely spring morning welcomes a new colt who wins style points for his mature muscle tone and refined head.
A few hours into his first day he was bold and frisky, as if he were happy to finally be free of his maternal confinement.
The similarity in coloration is evident in this first family portrait of a newborn colt and his mother.
In a couple of days she will look quite different; she has a sturdy frame and interesting markings which will be beautiful.
She looks ready for a nap, the rigors of the first few hours are many.
These three foals were born within hours of each other on April 6th. I have written on previous posts for years about the many changes newborn foals experience in a small amount of time.
The challenges to their physical systems, perceptions, and environment are drastic. When three foals are born so close together, it’s impossible to not see some evidence of their dispositions displayed as well.
