Goose is growing up. Ducky Ho Oh, the mare that we pulled from New Holland in November of last year, has produced a truly beautiful colt. He is full of energy, and mischief, but Ducky is a very good Mother and disciplines him when he gets out of hand. Here's the latest batch of pictures that I have received.
These first two are of Goose at five weeks. The dark spot on his neck is where the IV was put in. You may remember that he had a rough start, and ended up in the hospital for a while.
And, here is Goose today. He's starting to shed his foal coat around his ears and nose. From that, we're pretty sure that he is going to be a dark bay, much darker than his Mother. There's not a speck of white on him. When he's all grown up and under saddle, he ought to be a truly spectacular sight.
I am very tempted to send these pictures to his former owner, to show him what he threw away. You couldn't ask for a more lovely mare and foal.

He's just beautiful! What a happy ending to his hard start in life.
He's going to be grand! Ducky is so beautiful and if Goose is going to be an even deeper color - oh, Man!
