I realized yesterday after reading the "clipping" topic that I had never shared pictures of our little one born in October. I posted on it that we had clipped her some yesterday.
I wasn't sure if the mare was bred or not. She had been in the pasture with the stallion, but every time he got close to her she tried to kick his brains out. Well, apparently not one time at least because she presented me with an adorable little bay pinto filly on October 14th. However, Mom had no milk. (That's one reason I was convinced she wasn't pregnant. She had absolutely no bag. I had been checking religiously. I knew she was fat, but couldn't decide if pregnant or not.) So off to the vet we went, plasma, feeding tube in the nose, shots, all the fun stuff. Then me, my son and his girlfriend feeding baby every 2 hours. Giving mare shots. It was a rough few days. My vet even told me later that it was pretty touch and go when we got her there. And of course the day she was born it was raining and muddy and we were having an unusually cold snap. Finally the mare got milk and the baby knew exacly what to do with it. And now she is absolutely spoiled rotten.
So here is High Mountains Sudden Impact (pending)-aka Baby Cakes the day she was born after going to the vet:
And here she is yesterday after I couldn't stand it any longer and clipped her head and a little of her neck!!
She looks like her butt is high in this picture, but it really isn't. She's just got about 6 inches of "wool" standing up back there. She came out prepared for our Kentucky winter!!
Thanks for looking at our little one.
