Parading and Posing

It’s awesome when two dark horses create a chestnut; genetics are a fun puzzle.

A parade of two; a mare and her newborn, hours old, stroll by.

The foal has added a good amount of mass in just two days. They present a charming matched set.

Each year it is a great privilege to see the result of eleven months, more or less, of baby making. Observing the entire

cycle or courting, mating, gestating and birth for a year or more allows me to feel quite connected to That Herd members.

It’s so exciting when the new foals finally arrive!
