It’s a boy!!!

Early this morning in the predawn hours our filly gave birth to her second baby. An absolutely beautiful stallion who’s father is a Spanish Pasafino. The baby has the most beautiful graded coloring with a white blaze on his face. We brought a special breakfast to Lluvia and a bucket of fresh picked guavas. The other horses were fed at the trough, but Lluvia did not want to join them. She is calm, but protective of her baby. I was surprised to see she let her daughter, the yearling, sniff the newborn colt.

This is our newest horse at the farm. In the background you can see the Turrialba volcano on this beautiful day. You are looking down and across the Turrialba valley. What a beautiful view.

Lluvia (Rain) and her filly Neblina (Cloud), isn't she sweet. Her little tale is so fluffy. She is discovering her body and her ability to use her legs, kicking and jumping around. Sometimes she appears to just glide.

Here is a photo of my husband Phil and his mare Lluvia. Lluvia means rain in Spanish. She is the proud mother of a filly who is about 34 days old.
