One Month One Day

After our walk mom invited us all in for breakfast as a farewell for Joan. She is leaving for Haiti today. Her 2 and a half weeks here just didn't seem to be enough time although we know she is anxious to get home for her 2 youngest children. After breakfast Hannah and Faith came over to see Eliza's 1 day old colt. The pictures below were taken just a few minutes ago.

He loves to be groomed and as soon as one of these short human kids start scratching, he grooms them right back. From there we brought out the 1 month old, Ribbon's filly. She was muddy from the tremendous rains and got her first bath.

The difference between the 2 foals is really amazing. They are both by Raven. They are both going to be huge and both have an abundance of hair. Ribbon's filly should top 17 hands and with her black thick curly coat look like a Friesian on steroids, Eliza's colt will be at least 16.2, and have the slick shiny blue black coat. They are both very well behaved and friendly. While we had Ribbon out, Karin did some canter work with her while her filly got a tying lesson.

 Above Hannah and Faith are helping Karin out with Ribbon while her filly is safely taught to stand tied.

Inside chores need to be started. Laundry awaits.
