Okay, so here is a photo taken in 1984 of one of Violet's baby relatives, Res Nova by Blushing Groom out of Track Robbery. The handsome gentleman is Doug Prather, a world famous photographer who, like our own Barbie Valentine, takes photos which just capture the sweet spirits of horses. Anyway, I just love this photo because it's probably a lot like what little Violet looked like as a foalllll wtih her ginger baby coat and white socks and sweet expression. I sure wish I had a photo of my own Violet as a young thing!
