This is my first home born baby when he was born:
8 months later:
And now as a yearling:
Marlanoc Salt River, known at home as Derby
, was my first home born baby. I bought his mother 3 months out from foaling and knew that no matter what popped out I'd be keeping it, I was hoping for a show gelding. Derby was one of the hairiest foals we had ever seen, at 8 months I could hide my hands in his winter coat! He was also an awkward baby for the first few months, if he had been out in a big paddock of foals it would have been easy to pass him over as a show prospect. Of course he has now grown into himself
