Do you use the same stallion? The new foal and Grace have the same dam, right? How is the new baby doing anyways, any change in color there?

Are you going to the cabin this weekend? How is the terrain on the trails? Would I need to have the horses shod? Jody is not shod. If I go and look at that Racking pony, it would be close to your place. Might have to drop in and sit a spell.. ;')

Yes, Truly is the mother to both, but the new foal, Ellie, is also a half sister to Hope, Bluebell's last year's filly, coz they have the same sire. To add more confusion, Bob and Blade also have the same dam, and I bred Bluebell back to Bob's sire, so hopefully next year I'll have a full brother to Bob. It's kind of a "Who's on First" kinda thing! ;o)

...How is the new baby doing anyways, any change in color there?

I was beginning to think she was just gonna be black, but yesterday I was out playing with her and noticed that she had a place where the hair was rubbed off a little bit on the inside of her thigh and it was coming back in roan, so I was tickled pink. She's gonna be even prettier than Grace I think. She has a wonderful high head carriage. I know that's not something you want in the QH world, but it's very desirable in the gaited horse.
