Spring colts hanging out
We had two planned colts born last spring. My mare Peanut and Eamon’s mare Dirte each had colts. We think they will turn out to be roans, like their dad, Eamon’s stud, Huey. We also had two “catch colts’, born to our saddle mares who were bred by wild horse studs while at sheep camp last winter. (By the way, we are not happy about this turn of events–sometimes those studs injure our horses, and we prefer our registered stud!). We had about given up on, Plata, Pat’s mare, who had spent a lot of time with Huey. Finally a couple of weeks ago, she presented us with a beautiful little sorrel. She is also the mother of Dirte. All of these were pasture bred and pasture born.
