More Painted Acre Horses Posts > We can only hope. Since Jewels produces such fantastic fillies (2 out of 2), Kristel wants another one (hopefully she’ll start selling them and making some money LOL). Anyway, Poor Rubicon is in his barn. Do you know why? Because his face is so sunburnt! So PINK. Poor guy.Continue reading “Getting Ready for Another Foal”

It’s only a minute long and you can see the babies play and having so much fun! The second video is also one minute. Kristel gave TrissyContinue reading “Foal Fun Play Day & Baths”
Yet Another Foal (and Mare) Video
Kristel created a 3.3 minute video accompanied by a praise song, and it’s just so fun to watch the mares and their babies run and look beautiful. I asked when both mares and both foals will be put together so the foals can play, and she said, “Next week.” I can’t wait to share videosContinue reading “Yet Another Foal (and Mare) Video”
Foal Update
Yes, it appears that all I do these days and give you foal updates, but it’s so fun when they are so little! Watch this 3-minute video to see Knightely (3 days old) and Trissy (2.5 weeks old).

Maggie’s Colt Is Here!
Last night about 11 pm, June 24, 2025, Maggie delivered a stunning little colt. The mare is only about 14hh, so it was touch and go there for a while.

Jewels and Treasure Outside
The weather has been horrible in Texas. Rain, rain, rain. Treasure (Trissy) is so smart and so active. She’s more active than Taffy was at her age (2 years ago) and when Kristel calls, this baby comes running! Kristel told me, “This foal is a true ‘Taffy,’ as she comes when she’s called.” Baby TaffyContinue reading “Jewels and Treasure Outside”
