After a long and trying winter, we welcomed our first foals
on March 21, 2011
The 2011 Foals have all arrived a Buckskin Tobiano Filly, JOY; two Bay colts, one a Tovero, SCOUT, and one a Tobiano,
JACK; and a Palomino Tobiano Filly, MARIE.
On March 21, 2011, about 5:30 am, I was able to see Brazzy deliver her filly foal. Later that morning, while I
was at work, Dafy had her colt. This is the second year out of three that Dafy has had her foal the same day, just
later, than Brazzy. Makes a person wonder if there isn't a little (half) sibling rivalry going on there!

On Friday, May 13, 2011, Mattie had a palomino filly. Since she was born on Friday the 13th, I had to have a little
fun with her name, so she is named after the woman/witch in the song, "Another man done gone", Marie LeVeau, by Bobby Bare.
(It doesn't help that her grandma was just a little witchy at times!) SOLD

We were to have 2 more foals in 2011 but on February 3, 2011 our old farmstead
type barn (nearly a hundred years old) caught on fire and we lost two bred mares, DOMINO and SAMMIE. Both buckskin
mares were carrying buckskin foals out of our buckskin stallion, SUNDANCE (who survived the fire though he was in the pen
connected to it). Domino was carrying a buckskin Tobiano filly, and Sammie was carrying a homozygous Tobiano buckskin
colt. Fortunately, earlier that day one of our neighbors had cleared the 21 inches of snow out of our driveway, too
much for our smaller tractors, which allowed the Calhoun Fire Department to reach us and protect the rest of the buildings,
fences, trailers, etc from being lost too. Our Donkey, JULIE, had safely removed all of the sheep and goats that were
in the lean-tos away from the burning barn by the time I made it out of the house.
