Dolce, registered as Ibaflitnbird, is the most special yearling, to me, because she is the first foal that I’ve ever bred and raised. She was born on May 15th, 2008 and I was fortunate enough to be there to witness the birth and bring her into this world. If you knew how private mares are about having their babies you’d know that being there to witness the birth of a foal is amazing- but to catch a a maiden mare foaling is just icing on the cake. Her mama is my pretty gray mare, Sonora, (registered as Streakin Iron). And as much as I wanted her to be born bay or black so she would turn gray like her mama, I love her anyway!
I made a point to shoot some photos of her when she had her first birthday.
She’s terribly hard to photograph because she has a tendency to follow you. She is so excited to see people and loves to have her back scratched and just in be rubbed on in general. I cannot tell you how pretty she is, and how much I love her. The pictures really don’t do her justice. And of course it doesn’t help that she is a furry monster right now!
Happy Wednesday folks!
She is so pretty! I like how she's rubbing up against the truck! And wow, how do you pick those horses out? Some of them look the same in the pictures!
Oh, but what a beautiful "furry monster!"
She is a beautiful filly and I know all too well those that you raise are so special. Good luck with her and keep us updated on how she is doing.
@Christina- Thanks so much!I'm sure at some point everyone will be sick of hearing about her!
