The last foal arrived about 2 a.m. today at Heather Glen Farm.... another colt, which doesnt surprize me as I have only had 6 fillies born here since 1996!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What is up with that?????????
However, my newest mare Six Gems Dream Catcher, foaled a cute little TINY REFINED colt with Appy characteristics (white sclera and striped feet). I thought he was black like mama, but in the daylight this morning was able to see he has a definite jet black dorsal stripe and heavy zebra stripes on all four legs!! So, I guess we have a grulla Appy boy. No spots YET.
I need to get a measurement on him, but figure he will mature around mama's height of 31" or so. He has a nice long neck and tiny tiny muzzle. Cute little guy- at only four hours old he was trying to figure out how to run and buck and things just werent working right yet, but he sure had a look of concentration on his face about it!! LOL
Will update pics on the site by probably Monday....
NOW I CAN GET SOME REAL SLEEP!!! (after I get off work!!)
