Sangria's Colt

Jewel was moved out of the pasture behind Raven's paddock and the pasture cleaned of manure to move Sangria and her colt into it. She was in that pasture before delivery so I was sure she would be happy there. I was wrong. She was going crazy trying to keep her colt close and away from the other paddocks, finally the gate was opened and she took him into the middle of the big field before stopping, turning and facing the other horses.

Both boys were staring intently at the new colt then started moving up and down the fence line. Below is first Valiant then Evan.

The decision was made to leave Sangria and her 24 hour old colt out for a few hours.

He was having fun but Sangria was a nervous wreck. Notice how she has to twirl around fast enough for her mane and tail to fly trying to keep up with him in the picture above. They were brought back in as the day started to heat up. These black coat babies can overheat very quickly. Dr. Hoerr is coming today and will give the colt his foal shot before sonagramming Jenis, Clair, Prissy, Lola and Mytross.
