    My friend's new colt

    Before my friend's mom passed away there was a horse she was very interested in. After Sheila died, Mike decided he would buy the mare, despite her injured leg.

    After buying the paint mare and a vet visit, it was discovered that she was pregnant. Her due date was May.

    On Easter Sunday, Mike came home to find the mare dead in the pasture and a colt running around. The vet said it's likely she ruptured a blood vessel. He was clean and had a meal so she must of had a little strength left before she died.

    The little guy doesn't have a name yet so they've been calling him Little Brother. He turned 2 weeks old this past Sunday and I got to visit him last Friday and got some pictures of him.

    Little Brother eating out of his bottle (He had a blanket with him in the stall and it got wet and subsequently dyed part of his fur. That's the pink spot. LOL! Vet said it'll wear off or grow out)


    Walking around the stall


    He loved to rub his nose against my hand.




    Hi!


    Finally pooped out



    Isn't he the cutest!?

    His head only reaches just below my chest and I'm 5'6".

    What a pretty pony! Oliver Twist or one of those names on it's own would be cool. Poor little brother. It's like the mom only held on so that he could live. What a good mother.


    Thanks, Dogz!

    I just realized.....so, they have something in common. They both have lost their mothers.


    Thanks, Dogz!

    Oh, Kimmy, he is adorable. I'm so sorry that both of the moms lost their lives. I hope "Little Brother" will be a blessing to this familiy.

    Thanks.

    Shawntell and I have been best friends since 3rd Grade. She's currently living in Detroit and her younger brother, Sam, is finishing up college in the U.P.

    Sheila died far too young and now it's just Mike and the horses. He really loves Little Brother. I just know his coltish antics will help cheer him up.
