Birthing Season Begins!

Angelica
Each year we look forward to the start of birthing season. This really is my favorite time of year.
As Vickie says " Each birth is like opening up a Christmas present." What color will it be? Will it be a Boy or a Girl?
This year things started off with a bang with two births occurring minutes apart! This was a first for us. First, Serenade went into labor, then Tempest walked over to her, sniffed her and decided it was time to join the party!
Serenade delivered a beautiful fawn female whom we've named Angelica. Tempest had a handsome boy that we've named Ragnar after the main character from the History Channel's Vikings series. Both are doing great and growing very well. I mentioned earlier about not knowing ahead of time what color the cria will be. Serenade is white and was bred to our beige herdsire, Maximization. Her cria, Angelica is a dark fawn. Tempest is medium fawn and was bred to a medium fawn male. Her cria, Ragnar, is bay black. Like Vickie said, each birth is like waiting to open a Christmas present and you never know what's inside until you take the wrapping off !
We are expecting six more cria this spring and can't wait to see what Mother Nature has in store for us ! As many cria as we've had here, this never gets old, we love the anticipation!
