Re: I have a new baby
Congratulations Ken!<br /><br /> My Foundation Appaloosa Mare, Morningstar, had a filly on the 29th of May. She foaled out in the pasture (hilly!) at night and I help her get the baby back up into the barn. No easy task! <br /><br /> Even though I "imprinted" the filly (Rain Dance) at birth she inherited her mother's "BIT__ Gene". * Sigh * I have her full brother (Spirit, who turns 2 on September 1st) and he's just the sweetest guy on the planet. Takes after Daddy. <br /><br /> Foals are so much fun - Hopefully Rain Dance will be friendlier come weaning time (which will be soon!) and we'll work on learning to tie. <br /><br /> I got opposite ends of the color spectrum with my two - Spirit is a chestnut few spot (all white with a few chestnut spots) and Rain Dance is jet black with a handfull of white spots. She'll probably roan out like her dam, though. Their sire is a tri-colored leopard.<br /><br /> Enjoy your baby!<br /><br /> Love,<br /> Rain
