Patricia was due May 8th, 2013. It was worth the wait, but what a wait it was, she delivered a very healthy foal, a colt,around 1 am on May 31st! I slept through the check and found them at 4 am, in the shed. Patricia, the Drama Momma, is very proud, and has been standing with her head up scanning for anything that might come within a km or so from her pride and joy! The colt is by Phenom, Julie's amazing little stallion. But, this colt will be a big boy, long legged and is a gem, full of manners and kindness, like both his parents!

I love this photo, Patricia's colt is a handsome fellow with a lovely crescent moon on his forehead! |

Patricia and her colt, day one. |
Quizie waited for me to come by on my regular barnyard check the morning of May 6th, she probably wondered what took me so long, I was there at 1:30 am, and she indicated she wanted to foal. I went into the corral, comforted her and she laid down and had the foal right there. She is a wonderful mare, and Suzanne, who I purchased her from last year, warned me, Quizie (Equiz) wants a person there when she foals! This colt is by Dawn, Suzanne's proven stallion. He is the full brother of our colt Zefyr!
