We're almost done for the year. Four down, one to go. As usual, we have mostly fillies. Here's the 2011 group. :)

Gorgeous babies!
It also looks like it might be warm there. I am so jealous. We just got wet snow again today. Enough already. :evil:

Jenny, the weather here goes warm--cold--warm--cold... I wish it would just stop raining.

Beautiful photos, LB! Did you take them? I love the shot of the Empire Maker foal rearing - you don't see very many photos like that (and they're even harder to take!). Good luck with them all, very very nice group!

Thanks so much.

Yes, I took all the pictures. I love sitting on the sidelines and watching the foals play and interact. Plus I have a really good camera, lol. It makes it a lot easier to get good shots. :wink:

They look professional! Hey, if the horse business tanks, you could always take up photography! :)
