December has joined the herd at the ranch

December was born last December 1st to Thunder and Polka Dot and has been living with them on the property next door.  We brought over to this side of the fence on July 6th and she is slowly acclimating to the larger herd here.  She will probably get halter trained in the Fall when our awesome horse trainer returns - Karyn Shirley http://www.purplesageequine.com/

She is running up the hill at the ranch the first day here.

She has lovely markings.

The first few days she spent a lot of time by the fence visiting her parents

 on the other side. I think she has a lovely face.

I posted this photo of her when she was 24 hours old.  It is fun to compare her then and now!

We have a new Filly!

She was born on December 1st to Polka Dot and her name is December.  We think she could be the last foal born, see the post below about birth control for the mares.
She is a real sweetheart but shy with humans.  I have noticed over the years that the new colts are very curious and the new fillies are shy and cling to their mothers.

Here she is the day she was born - as you can see she is very alert, especially for a horse a few hours old.

These photos were taken yesterday, she is thirteen days old and this is her first time eating the feed.

The babies always put their feet in the trough!  She is eating with her mom.
