Colt Update

We had a cold day, 14 degrees to start our morning and it never made it above freezing.  Mark brought over 6 or 7 wheel barrow loads of wood to the porch which I stacked. The wood burner was kept burning all day. Very little work was done other than feeding horses.  Karin and Jackie left for Kansas City and we have Studly here for the weekend.
This evening Ruth, Diane, Rhonda, Joan, Faith, Berlica, Mackenson, Braelyn, Taegan, Kensley and I met at mom's for games. The kids played downstairs while we adults played upstairs. All had a good time. A phone call came in from the man that bought Ayanna and Sheena's 2016 colts. He is thrilled with how they are growing up. He stated Sheena's colt by Valiant is very tall while Ayanna's colt by Evan is more baroque. He sent the two pictures below. He also sent some video of both colts but the file is too big to post here.
 Above is Sheena's colt and below is Ayanna's colt. 
The pictures posted below are of the colts when they were just born. Below is Sheena's colt by Valiant born May 12th, 2016 and pictured at 1 day old.
The next picture is of Ayanna and her colt born April 3rd, 2016 pictured at 2 days old.
Both turned out gorgeous and the owner couldn't be more pleased. He called to say he would like to purchase a filly from us next year. Both of these mares are expecting again. Sheena was bred back to Valiant and Ayanna was bred back to Evan.  Ayanna is due April 26th, 2019 and Sheena is due May 27th, 2019.  We really are thrilled with the quality these our mares produce when bred to our stallions.  Can't help but be thankful for so many blessings around here and horses are just a few of the blessings.

  1. It is uncanny how much Ayanna's colt looks like Evan when Evan was 2!
