Foal Update

Four days old! Jewel’s Taffy Kandy and the colt (who is as yet unnamed, poor thing). I will still be taking name suggestions until 5pm tonight (Pacific Time). You may suggest your name in these comments. I will check both posts before handing the final list to Kristel and Kristi. She has seen a partial list so far and knows this will be a very hard decision. Thanks for all the wonderful suggestions! For now, peek at this 40-second video of the two foals outside at four days old. Finally! Sunshine!

And for those of you who see a huge difference in coloring, be patient. Both foals are palominos (for sure). Taffy’s coloring may lighten–but hopefully will go to a real pretty golden look like Andi’s “Taffy.” The colt will probably also get very golden/dark. You can never judge the palomino’s final coloring by his or her coloring at birth.

    1. Nope. The colt is super friendly and likes to nibble on us. Let’s us touch him all over.

      Taffy is a little skittish but when we catch her she melts and it’s us even check her feet. She lifts her feet for us already.
