A very Special Baby

It's been a long wait, 11 months to be exact, but finally our lil baby horse arrived.

Gpa and I went down to check on the momma / babies in the back, then fed the calves, when we got back up here there he was. We were only gone about 30 minutes but thats all it took. We sat out there and watched him for 2 hours waiting for him to get up and start nursing. We were starting to worry about him, it was taking too long. The baby calves get up and start nursing in about 15 minutes. Gpa was just about to go out and tie Dixie up and help him up, which scared me because she's a good momma and did'nt want us in there at all. Just then UP he got and started walking around.

Can you believe Gpa has never seen a baby horse be born. I just hated it that we missed it.

He's all legs, and still today wobbles when he walks. Help us out and send us some names for him.

We now have 7 baby calves. We have 2 more to be born in February and then March will be a busy month we have 8 to be born. So far they all look alike and are doing well.





Just a few minutes after being born...



Isn't he a DOLL????
