Our mentor's new colt... we've been waiting for this
Tuesday mid-morning, we finally got the call we've been waiting for... Lola had her colt!
Bev and I raced over for pictures and to assist with moving both Mom and baby to a clean paddock. In the process, I even got to name him... "Cool Hand Luke".
Since then, we've been helping her daily with the "imprinting". I hold Lola, the mare while Dixie works with Luke. He's used to his halter and can be rubbed all over. At first, his butt was real ticklish, but with work... he now stands still.
We're laying him down, checking his feet, rubbing his belly and down between his legs... he's so cute... just closes his eyes and enjoys the pampering.
Mom (Lola) is just fine as long as she can see what's going on.
