2009: We really missed watching little ones be born and watch them play and grow.
Nevertheless we stuck with our decision.
About exactly a year ago we had a little incident happen, that nobody thought too much about:
Mr. Jackson Whizchex, one of our own horses, at that time still a yearling and not been gelded yet, had snuck through the gate into the marepen as our hired help was putting more roundbales into the pens. We had gone to town for a couple hours, and coming home little stallion was back in his pen with all the boys, and supposedly nothing happened.
Well here is NOTHING:
As some people say: "Everything happens for a reason!"
Andrea is happy: She gets to enjoy a little horsebaby.
Jim gave him his name according to his come about:
Meet: HES A SHOTGUN WEDDING !!!
Well, " the perfect little boy", little does he know, that he hadn't been planned at all!
Also A BIG THANKS to Lorie Engbrecht and Countrysidefarms for doing such a great job looking after the foaling and making sure mum and baby were off to a great start in this winterconditions!!!
Great story, Andrea! What a surprise. You're right - everything happens for a reason. He looks like a fine baby...and for those who don't think yearlings can leave foals....!! So he spends the rest of his life called Shotgun?
ReplyDeleteGreat to see you blogging, too Andrea. Now I'm assuming it's Andrea, not Jim, but I may be wrong...
