OK...Here We Go...New Pics...of ROCKY!!!

[Carol Nelson]

Hope y'all haven't forgotten about our new little red and white miniature Pinto colt, Rosie's Rockin' Cowboy, aka. Rocky!! If you remember, we almost had to euthanize his mama, Rosie, as she coliced severely post partum after a retained placenta. As you can see, Rosie has recovered marvelously and is putting on weight and feeling much better!
Rocky is already trying to mount his mama and giving her a real run for her money...but she's only had five colts so she knows what to expect! ;-)
Here's our new precious little baby boy at three weeks old!

[Pasogirlz]

[PasoVicki]

He's a doll. It's good to see his mama looking so good, too!

[Barbwire]

Hey Carol, I'll trade ya Mojo for him. :twisted:

[pasorider]

That last pic is just to cute! It makes me want to give him a BIG HUG!!

[Brigitte]

Oh he's adorable!

[Pasomom]

OMG he is SOOOO precious! And he is picture perfect!

So glad Rosie is doing so much better also!

Thanks for updating us on the little feller!

[Jasfino]

He's as cute as a button!! :D

[JennLM]

Awwww he is really cute and such a nice head. I love his coloring too.

[Terry Wallace]

He's cute for sure.....
How about new pics of lil' Rowdy?

[dana]

Ugh, that has GOT to be the ugliest colt i have seen in years . . . :-?
so just send him to minnesota, Carol. i would hide him out in minni-sota for you! :D
Big Grin!

[Carol Nelson]

Ha...good try, Dana! ;-) :lol:

Terry, new pics of Rowdy are on the thread about the silver coloring...he's very nice...I'm seriously thinking about having Rowdy tested to see if he's chocolate Pally and then keeping Rowdy, Rocky and Cowboy as studs and not foaling out mares anymore. Too stressful!! :roll:

[Carol Nelson]

I received a heartbreaking call this morning from the client who bred their mini mare, Roxie, to Cowboy (Rowdy and Rocky's sire) last year. Their mare delivered a stillborn foal this morning while at the vet's to be foaled out. She wasn't due til August 5th. This is the second time this has happened to that mare. How sad. My heart goes out to them because we ourselves lost our first baby out of Rosie at about the same gestational age.
Send your healing thoughts to these clients...she occasionally reads the board here. They have two Rojo Tejas fillies.

[jodiTowne]

Sorry about your clients stillborn. Very sad.

Your little guy is just too cute!! I love mini's. Mine always manages to make me smile each morning no matter how grumpy I am! :D

[dana]

Ha...good try, Dana! ;-)

Sigh . . . you mean that one didn't work either? Sigh . . .

but my heartfelt condolances go out to your friends who lost the baby, Carol. i am SO sorry for their heartbreak. :hug

[TrueStepPaso]

Good Lord, that thing is adorable.... :shock:

[Carol Nelson]

Well, you ought to see Rocky now ...after it rained all morning. He isn't so pretty anymore...he's a muddy mess...and I don't think he likes it much!! :lol:

[PasoPerson38]

AHHHH! I LOVE HIM!!! I want a Miniature to keep in my house! lol

Also Prayers going out to your clients...may the lord bring them understanding, healing, and comfort in their sad times.

[Carol Nelson]

Thank you, Stephanie, and others...I will relay the thoughts. Bless their hearts. :(

[PasoPerson38]

I could only imagine how difficult that kind of thing would be...So much anticipation (and not to mention money...though most of us are not thinking about the money at those times)and excitement well up for almost 12 months, and to have it end like that is devastating. That’s one of my biggest fears with breeding, only topped by losing the mare. Again prayers going out to the family, the mare, and anyone who has had do go through this type of struggle.
Carol how is the mare?

[Carol Nelson]

She is fine, Stephanie...they were picking her up today to bring her home. It just breaks my heart...we had as much hope for this foal as they did. So sad.

[My Pasos]

My Melinda lost her foal. We got her already bred to a largo buckskin. That baby was so pretty and full of legs! I know somewhat of how she must feel. Melinda morned in her stall for days, not eating or having the will to do anything. I had to actually hand feed her to get her to eat.

As for the little boy, I would just love to put him in my pocket!!! ;-)

[Minouri]

Simply adorable baby! Sorry to hear the news of your friend's experience.
