They are SO creepy when they stare.
June 9, 2010 at 9:44 am Sometimes Harvi creeps me out by staring at me, I understand. :)

Love the rain wet ponies! <3

Sometimes everyone wishes they could hide behind their mom's butt, baby horse.

Foal, this is your big orange momma. Big Orange Mama, this is your new baby.
June 2, 2010 at 7:13 pm Awwww! He's nursing his big orange Momma. :) :( Maybe he needs Regal to keep him company.

It's hard to say how HAPPY this photo makes me feel. Getting Hawthorne nursing off a nipple attached to an insulated cooler means he can feed himself when he's hungry, and the milk will stay fresh several hours. - As opposed to me bottle feeding him every two hours day and night. I'll still be VERY hands on with this guy, but it means I get to sleep in 4 hour shifts instead of 2 hour, and it means he WON'T be as likely to learn naughty habits from bottle nursing.

Cindy says he needs to be a little more steady on his feet before he meets his big (BIG) brother!
June 2, 2010 at 7:18 pm
RIP baby Hawthorne. :(

June 2, 2010 at 7:13 pm Hawthorne right?
June 2, 2010 at 7:18 pm
YES! Although according to wikipedia, Hemingway resented his mother, so should the one that was orphaned be Hemingway? ;-)
June 2, 2010 at 7:20 pm
Awesome Linds!! And I agree that Hemingway fits him so well :-)
June 2, 2010 at 7:23 pm
He deserves the better name. I like Hemingway better than Hawthorne.
June 2, 2010 at 7:26 pm
Okay! They are officially switching! Black and Whitey gets to be the brooding, dark romanticist. :-)
June 2, 2010 at 7:30 pm
Cindy- I know you weren't huge on the idea of switching to the cooler, but the vet today thought it was a GREAT idea and I just don't know how I can run my business AND bottle feed ;-( I'm hoping this will be better all around and help with manners
June 2, 2010 at 7:32 pm
Oh and that doesn't mean I am slacking off! I'll still be up and out there every 2-3 hours for the next day (and night) or two to monitor.
June 2, 2010 at 7:33 pm
Hey, as long as he thrives, then what works for you works for you ;-) Have you figured out how you can "creep" feed him on it throughout the day once he is buddied up with Regal? If you set up the feed with the milk, it would be a good fit, but you're going to have to rig something so that Regal and the other colt can't get in to steal from him.
June 2, 2010 at 7:35 pm
Good point. Regal literally DESTROYED the creep feeder I had forac trying to get at the feed. Maybe I can get my football guy to rig something up that's regal-proof!
June 2, 2010 at 7:41 pm
Make a "gate" for the stall that is only wide and high enough for the foal to go into, then regal has to stand outside and make faces, LOL!
June 2, 2010 at 9:09 pm
he will ROAR!
June 2, 2010 at 9:10 pm
Well.... wow! If anyone could have made that work it would have been my Lindsay Loo!

June 2, 2010 at 7:13 pm The spots are so cute! While you are struggling to keep the little one alive, don't forget to hug this one too. I forgot to hug him last night. How much do you think "spotty" weighs?
June 2, 2010 at 7:52 pm
HAWTHORNE, ;-) probably weighs 110lbs? maybe 130??
June 2, 2010 at 7:54 pm
what a cutie!!!!!
June 3, 2010 at 1:14 pm


June 2, 2010 at 7:13 pm Awww, he's just a baby too. One day old.
June 2, 2010 at 7:28 pm
Hey Linds- They are BEAUTIFUL! I told Sue and she would love to see them but she does not have facebook - if you get a change - email me a couple of pics so I can send to her. Good Luck! You are in my prayers.

June 2, 2010 at 7:13 pm Ebony must be so relieved to get those babies out of her, I just can't imagine that she managed to carry them both and they all lived. It's a miracle! She is a beautiful Momma!
June 2, 2010 at 7:32 pm


This was him right after we found him. "Save me" he said. "Okay!' I replied, "but only if you promise not to die."
