The little ones are growing up so fast! And that means it’s time for an update on our 2015 foals.
Redd – He was our first foal to arrive out of a new mare named June. Although Redd isn’t a ranch-bred colt, he’s quickly made himself a part of the family. His newborn chestnut coat is shedding out to reveal a gorgeous red roan color, just like his mama. June is a tall mare, and Redd looks like he will carry on that trait with substantial stature and a lot of height. He was the resident punk in his first month, but has settled down and become a chill dude, bordering on lazy. We’re ok with that, as punks don’t fit in well in our herd, but relaxed and sturdy horses are what we’re looking for in our riding horses.
Wesson- Our of Reyn (aka “Tubby”), this cute little bay colt loves to be scratched and petted, as you can see by this photo of him and George. He’s got quite the build with a JLo style caboose that will serve him well as he grows up and climbs the surrounding mountains. Wesson started out as a scared little guy– in fact he double barrel kicked Mandy when he was 2 days old as he was so afraid of people. Now he is turning out to be laid back and super friendly, and gets plenty of attention as a result of that new and improved attitude.
Remy “Remington”- This spunky and fun little girl is out of one of our favorite broodmares, MJ. MJ consistently produces great foals, and Remy is no exception. Remy is a people loving filly who is sweet and friendly to all. She is very feminine, but seems to have no troubles keeping up with the boys. She has big, kind, and calm eyes that are a telling sign that she’ll make a great ranch horse as she grows up. Remy was the star of one of the videos we posted this spring, bravely crossing the creek for the first time. If you haven’t watched it, you’ve got to check it out.
Wrangler- His beautiful coloring makes this colt stand out from a distance. Another one of Sassy’s dun colts, Wrangler is a full brother to Levi, one of the guest favorites from last year. He’s a shy and sensitive little guy, but is coming around as he gets older and gets handled by all our guests more and more. Wrangler and his mama Sassy were purchased by one of our guests this past winter, along with big brother Levi, and will be heading to Texas in the fall to their new home. We’ll miss these beautifully colored foals, but have some great up and coming broodmares we’re excited to have in the herd in foal for next year.
