There is a colt at the stables about 3 weeks old now. Wears a halter and they are already working with him. He's very friendly and likes to be petted. Momma stays close but doesn't seem to mind. I was watching Okie out of the corner of my eye and when I would talk and pet the mare he would stop and watch.

Tomorrow when you see the pictures, the bay horse that Blake is riding is Dot. She is out of my old mare, and Rocky. We watched her birth. I had a halter on her the 2nd day, was leading her by the end of her first week, and ponying her at 3 months off her momma. She has been as easy as pie to break. The one Charlie has he bought as a 2 year old. It didn't have much handling as a baby. I think that really makes a difference. We;re breeding that mare again this year and I want to raise one and break it now.
