Sam's 1st Foal: Baby in a Corn Crib!


This photo was taken on Friday, February 3rd, on Renny's 11 month birthday. I had been out to the barn early in the morning to sing a birthday song to my boy, never realizing at the end of the day Sam would have her baby. Anyway, in this photo, you see Sam checking out a little bundle in the corn crib! That's her baby girl who just seconds earlier had made a brave noble ferocious attempt to stand up and who had fallen fast like a stack of cards into that crib. She just laid so still, folded up like an accordion. You could just tell that she was mystified and gave up. I mean really! Working so hard to stand and then ending up in a mini-box!! In a few short minutes after this photo, Doug went into that stall and so very gently helped the tired girl to her feet. She had help from her friend in her first steps of life!!!
