New foal has arrived! Gardening post delayed.

Once again, foaling has interrupted the blog posts!  It's all good though.  Welcome to the world, little boy!  Homozygous tobiano pinto stud colt, buckskin, saddlebred.  Shown at 2 hours old.  Vet just here and all is well.  Sire is our El Dorado Spitfire and dam is our Dawning of Aquarius. Foal's name yet to be determined.

2 hours old and sweet as can be!

I know you shouldn't say a boy is beautiful, but he is!

This is one of the sweetest moments I've ever captured on film!  His mommy laid down to rest and the foal walked over, laid his head against her neck and fell asleep!  He's just too precious!!

The foal's sire, El Dorado Spitfire, aka Flash.

The foal's dam, Dawning of Aquarius, aka Ria.

In two weeks, we will return with our blog on small space gardening.  Due to spring chores, foaling and breeding season, we will need to go to new blog posts every 2 weeks for now.  Thanks for understanding everyone!

Warsaw Poland travel blog delayed a week.

Sorry all......last Saturday's blog post on travel in Warsaw Poland has been delayed for another week.  We've been a bit busy at the farm here!  Meet Pearl, our new Saddlebred filly, shown at 3 days old!  She's a double dilute cream, meaning she will ALWAYS produce a dilute foal when she's bred (buckskin, palomino, etc).  She MAY be homozygous for the tobiano pinto gene as well.  We'll have to wait for color testing to confirm that.  Fingers crossed, as that would mean she would always produce a pinto foal as well!!

And ...... meet Rebel, our miniature colt.  He's 1 month old and came home over the weekend.  He stood only 18 inches tall when he was born!  He's not too much bigger than that now!
