Its like opening presents!!

Postby tammysinnett » Fri Jun 22, 2007 9:37 am

Isn't it like opening presents when those babies start shedding out??? You dream of one thing the end product may be totally opposite or better than what you wanted in the first place. Well here is our first 2007 present, colt by our stallion. He is about 51to 52 at the withers at the age of almost 3 months. He was such a big boy when born.....now look what is peaking out underneath all that baby fur!!!

My "liver chestnut, beautiful brown" Even the Score colt is going to end up being grey :wink: He is getting alot of white hairs on his back and patches of white on his side now. Oh well - Even the Score is a big grey so I'm okay with that - but I really loved that lovely liver chestnut color :(
