That is precious! He still looks wet, did you see the birth?

[LynnG]

Congratulations lori! Now we want to see up and attum photos too! He looks very wet, glad you were there for the birth. You're getting a fine string of colts to show.

[Terri]

OH so cute, I love this time of year with everybody's baby pictures! So what's his name gonna be???

[Barbwire]

I agree with Terri. Bring on the baby pictures! http://bestsmileys.com/love1/1.gif

Absolutely adorable...gosh, all these pics are making me so want to breed a couple mares this year. It's raining today, dare I believe the drought is over???
I'd love to get a baby the color of this one!!! Congrats!

[Linda Y]

What a gorgeous color! Can't wait to see him dry and up.
Carol, it is raining here too!! Whee!
:jumpy

Beautiful foal! :D Congrats.

[TrueStepPaso]

Mmmmmm, buckskin.....my (2nd) favorite!

[PasoVicki]

What a beautiful baby! Danesa's foal's sire has lots of buckskin in his ancestory. I wonder whether there's any chance her baby could get color like that . . . . Probably wishful thinking, but it never hurts to dream, right?

Here's our new addition, dried off and out for his first adventure at two days old.

I sure hope he stays that silvery buckskin color! He's got a little bit of black above his eyes and below his forlock. Hopefully, this will be a pretty black mask. I did witness the birth, thanks to a foalart system which worked perfectly. We're throwing around the name "Matador", but it's not a firm decision yet. It would be neat to combine Sire and Dam names, but I don't see a good combo there. Suzanna is out of Festival International, and I thought of naming him "Fiesta" or "Festival". Ideas?

Thanks for all the compliments, I sure am enjoying this little dude.

[JennLM]

ohh he is Sooooooooooooooooo cute! I originally wanted a Buckskin colt but can't help who you fall in love with.

I can't wait to see this boy grow up so I can drool over him.

[Blameitonbrio]

Lori, he is beautiful! I love his expression on such a pretty face. I like Fiesta too. And, even though this is a great picutre, you are going to have to post more you know. :lol:

Here's another one. He doesn't know quite what to do with those legs yet, it's fun to watch! Well, I proposed a couple more names to Greg, and he said, "What? His name is Matador". Ok then. Matador de Eco.

[Terry Wallace]

GREAT pics....reminds me of Mila..(same color).... Now, what happened to that mare's tail? Did she have a foal last year that "removed" some of it for her (hehehe) ??

Congrats on a very pretty colt! ;-)

[CarolU]

What a cutie Lori...he's an awesome color and I'm with you and hope he keeps it, he'll really show well. Beautiful mare too. Matador sounds like a fun name...

[echo]

Terry,
Suzanna's tail was eaten off last year (and 3 other horses) by another filly...Serafina. Serafina is not Suzanna's filly, but she let her eat the tail anyway. :roll: Needless to say, I put Serafina out only with horses that are not headed to show. I put down a mineral block and a plain salt block, and started spraying tails with "McNasty". So far, so good, no more chopped tails.

[Blameitonbrio]

Lori I really love that last picture. He looks so happy and ready to take on the world. Pretty color too.

[motorgypsy]

Oh Lori - What a sweetheart!!! Soooo cute!!!!

[Barbwire]

What wonderful photos! In that first pic he looks like he's the king of the world. :D

The second pic looks like he's thinking, "Feet, don't fail me now!" :lol:

[pasohappy]

oh yes he is something, wow your lucky he is a darling. and look at those legs go.
