New Foal!

We had our first foal of the year Sunday, July 24th at 2:30 am.  Asalari (Astrachan x Anastasia) had a lovely bay colt.  Of course, I was hoping for that mythical buckskin filly, but this young man is healthy, strong and lovely.  He was up and nursing within 30 minutes and is very curious and interested in everything.

Slari's babyJust after he was born, he had sort of stood up once, but immediately crashed and burned.

He is for sale, so buy him now and you can pick his real name AND his barn name.  There will be plenty of new photos of him, both here and on Facebook.  Contact me directly if you might be interested.  he should mature around 15.1 or 15.2 and is very correct and typey.  Endurance anyone?
