New Life!

                                   Eva at one day old

Looking at my previous blog pictures, I realize how long it's been since I posted to this blog. It's now August, the dog days of summer, and we have two new residents in the neighborhood. About three weeks ago a filly was born to my neighbor's TB mare, and last week, another mare at her place gave birth to a little colt. Both foals have the same sire, a Trakehner who stands at 17 hands, so they will both be big. The filly's name is Eva; the colt is Edouardo. They are both gorgeous and full of themselves. Interestingly, Eva is very confident, independent and very curious, while Edouardo is more timid and likely to stay close to his mom. It's fun to watch them learn more every day.
