| Peaches |
Well, you know, the lady was asking those chubby mares when they were going to foal and they were just not being very forthcoming at all. Aunt Taca is not exactly a ray of sunshine under the best of circumstances, so you can imagine, being very pregnant and dealing with the mud and snow didn't have her in the best humor. Even tho my dad Bob thinks she is like, super gorgeous, regardless of her girth, and goes prancing up to her telling her so at the drop of a piece of hay, she was just not feeling the love and mostly walked around with her ears back and kind of snarling at everyone. Her filly from last year, Peaches, is kind of goofy and outgoing, but Taca didn't want anything to do with her and her frivolity. So anyway, the morning before yesterday, the lady showed up to feed and there was a new baby with Taca. Two hours earlier when she checked, Taca said nothing about having a baby and here he was, up and running all around. As soon as he saw the lady he ran over to her and asked if she was his mother, so of course, that pissed Taca off, since she had done a great deal of work to get him out and she didn't need that lady showing up and taking the credit. But the lady just walked over to Taca so the colt followed and then he got something to drink. He looks just like Peaches, the foal Taca had last year when she was a baby, except of course, he is a boy.

So I am posting a pic of what Peaches looks like now and one of the new colt. Now my dad Bob had to move up to the barn. He likes foals and is good with them, but he likes mares even more and the lady says she is not coming out in the snow next year to be checking on foaling mares.
