Going4stamina ; actually momma did really well considering. I think the equally big Mutakddim colt she had prior " paved the way " for a relatively easy delivery with this one. But ; she most certainly got some extra lovin' yesterday. 2 down ; 1 to go !

He looks like he's wearing knee socks, LOL. Nice foal! I'm a big fan of Holy Bull. :)

I've heard that when young foals have very defined color like that it means they'rre going to turn grey--assuming of course that they have a grey parent of course, which he does. So maybe you'll end up with a little Holy Bull lookalike.

Our colt now officially has a name and it is in honor of my Grandson. His name is Aidan Riley.
