Some days it's just fun to go and hang out with the horses, especially when there is a rambunctious little foal in the mix.

Ferdi has turned out to be an exceptionally friendly little fellow. He always seems pleased when we show up at the pasture and always makes a point to come up to say hello. We'd started bringing a little . . .

On his third day of life, we decided it was time for Ferdi to meet Poesia, the lead mare in our little herd. We haltered her just to be safe and then let her loose in the pen.
There is no doubt that . . .

Unfortunately, I had to stay home and work the day after Ferdinand was born but Deb was able to go down and spend the day at the pasture. We both wanted to make sure that Anastacia was doing well, and . . .

"You better get down here" Deb said to me over the phone. It was 5 o'clock in the morning and Anastacia had finally gone into labor. We had spent the previous seven nights watching her as she'd been diagnosed . . .

It was a beautiful winter day here in Arkansas, perfect for spending an afternoon out with the horses.

It's been awhile since Alexios has had a chance to get in front of the camera as life here as been rather chaotic. This past weekend we finally had time to get out and visit with the horses. On Saturday, . . .

Just a quick update as life has been quite busy of late. Between visiting the girls up in Missouri this past weekend and now house sitting down at the horses, we haven't had much time to catch up with . . .

We got a break in the weather yesterday so Deb went down to the pasture to spend some time with the horses. They were eager to get out to graze. They were close to the fence that sections off Favorito's . . .

It was a good afternoon to let the horses out to graze for a few hours this afternoon. We've had a lot of rain and storms roll through here this week so they've been a little more confined. Alexios took . . .

The weather was perfect today for spending time out with the horses. It has been a week since I've been able to get out there to see our young one, and he has grown!

It seems that the last 8 weeks have flown by, and our young Alexios is growing fast and furious. Recently we estimated his height and weight using a foal tape. A measurement is taken around his belly . . .

Alexios has reached the point where he will soon need to supplement the nutrition he is receiving from his mother's milk with more solid foods. He is currently nibbling on grain and grazing a bit on grass . . .

For anyone that is interested, Alexios now has his own fan club on Facebook. It seemed appropriate as the little guy has picked up quite a following. We're not going to let him know about it though . . .
