General update

Well it is foaling and breeding season again here at the farm. The boys have all been informed that they have the year off, but that doesn't stop them from strutting their stuff in their turn-outs. While the excitement of the new foals lifts spirits the work of determining who gets sold and who stays on is sad. Two foals have hit the ground this year so far a Fjord and a Welsh Cob both fillies.

First born was this lovely Grey Welsh Cob filly. She appears Bay Silver under her Grey dapples and I swear I see Pangare but her face is so greyed that I can't be positive. Her dam is chestnut under grey (genetically) and was born grey so I have no clue what color she truly is. It will be interesting to see what she throws when she goes to the breeding shed. In the meantime I am looking forward to watching her develop and hit the show ring.

The second foal born was a gorgeous Zebra Dun Fjord filly. This filly has a nice temperament and the bloodlines to go places. I am in love with her dorsal and shoulder barring, the frosted mane and the prim black anklets paired with a white sock and a heel spot. With such neat feet I hope she learns her leads solid as a missed change could mean a judge looking at her feet.

The weanlings/yearlings are coming along nicely as well, no strong standouts just yet. Well except for the Grulla Sabino TB colt I purchased from Valley Top Ranch. Not only does he look amazing he is the fastest, most agile, and nicest mover among them.
