This message is from: "Nathan Lapp" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Viola's colt weighs 126 pounds. (I cradled him in my arms and stepped on a professional bath scales, then did the math.) He is 40 1/2 inches tall and his face is 13 1/2 inches long.
His sire is Erlend. We're negotiating names with Julie and also trying to figure out if he's gray or brown. I'll let you know on that later. For now we're calling him "the little prince," as he is the first male Fjord ever to live on our farm. And Viola is herself again. She and baby had at least 30 visitors today, mostly my neices and nephews. We didn't let anyone stay long as Viola wasn't enjoying it. It's cute to see her protectiveness when we're used to seeing her love everyone who comes. But I didn't think she was very protective when she took her baby out into a thundershower this afternoon. The barn door had been open all day and it was awefully hot and humid. But she waited till it rained to take him out. Guess she knows her business--the little prince is happy as a lark tonight.
