Meet Skippy Jon Jones of Showgate Stables!

On Tuesday, at 2am, Hope gave birth to a bay colt with the biggest knees and hocks! His name is Skippy Jon Jones and he's just lovely. And he's proving to be just like a foal should be -- every time I see him, he's either scampering, nursing, or collapsing into the straw for a baby nap. He's gorgeaus. And every time I see him, he's changed and grown. On the first morning, he just seemed like a breath of air with knees. On the second day, he looked bigger and more muscular and more sure of himself. And today, Day 3, he was a powerhouse, a strong happy confident nursing little powerhouse! What a beauty!
