First Colt




Curtis' mare had her first colt a few days ago. In these pictures she is not more than 2 days old. Mama 'Dottie' is reluctant at first to let anyone approach and runs off. As you can see, the colt quickly tires and falls out. After a bit she was rested enough to get up again. Mama Dottie, Curtis' mare since she was a yearling, eventually let Curt pet the little guy. Dottie was broke and trained by the cowboy in these pictures, who will no doubt train this little one too.
