Evan & Valiant

Amy Koch came to the farm and helped me move Valiant in with Evan. The only problem with this is telling them apart as they grow. We are amazed at how alike they are. At this time Valiant is a little bigger and has Raven's face. Evan seems to have a little shorter neck, not so good, and his face looks more like Mintse's which is good. We also think Evan may have more HAIR, his tail is longer than Valiant's tail and he has longer thicker feathers.
Both boys have fabulous movement and presence with their arched necks held high.
I was pleased with how Evan moved. His registered name is Evan f/t Friesian Connection and we need to come up with something more elegant and majestic to call him. Evan will be a yearling this year and in the next couple of years we will be able to offer our customers with a RAVEN DAUGHTER an option on a breed back to a Mintse son. By the time Ciera is ready to be bred, Evan will be standing at stud, FABULOUS, I won't have to haul her to another Friesian owner. That will be a fantastic match.
Clara and her colt are sold, the deposit check should come today. They will be leaving for California in June. The new owners want her bred back to Raven in March for a Feb. baby. We moved Clara in the small paddock next to Raven's and threw her a half of bale of hay. We will need to move in a round bale or move her in with the herd.
