This could be my favorite part. I love new baby minis! We have had two of the cutest babies ever. The first was born during a spring snow storm, April 22nd. When we walked out to feed that morning we were definitely not expecting her. We knew mama was expecting but had no idea it would be so soon. She was soaking wet but straight and strong and not worried about staying right next to mama. She is the sweetest, friendliest baby I've ever seen. We call her Jewel. Then on May 13th I had my son Nikolas peak out to see if Sonata (who we had expected our first baby from) had a baby at her side. He said nope, so I finished getting to kids off to school. Cory was out of town. When I got outside all the others were waiting by the feeders, so I got a little concerned about Sonata. I ran around the east side and couldn't see her. I started to panic, it always makes me a little nervous when Cory leaves and we've got pregnant mares. You just never know. I'm sure that I will have to deal with it alone one day. But not this day. I ran around the west side and there they were, mama and baby, healthy and happy. A beautiful tri-color colt. We decided to call him Bullseye. He's a bit of a mama's boy right now, but I think it's because Sonata is SUPER protective. I knew she was not a friendly horse but she is coming at me and everybody else with her ears pinned back if we even go near the fence. I guess if I'd have been burnt with hot wire hangers by humans I wouldn't trust them again either. She has come along way since we first got her, she'll eat from my hand now. Since she had this darling baby she has reverted back to the beginning. Cory says she'll settle back down in a week or two. I hope so. I can hardly wait to love on that baby!
