The Joy of Foals

[diamondindykin]

Since we have a thread for the reliable older horses, I thought it would be appropriate to have one for the babies.

This is Sucha Smooth Whiskey (Whiskey) born May 17, 2004. I bought his mom, Diamond Indykin at an auction the year before as a three year old. Eleven months to the day that I bought her she milked up. She had been getting fatter so I put her on a diet and was lunging her more. I immediatly had the vet out to do a pregnancy check and she was definitly pregnant. I was able to track the guy down that sold her to me at the auction (he was a horse dealer) and he admitted that he had put her with his QH stallion. He thankfully agreed to sign the breeders papers so I could register him. The stallion was REALLY well bred and very nice looking.

Whiskey was born at 3:30 am while the whole family watched. It was amazing to watch and I was honored to be the first person that he saw and the first person to touch him. He is now the love of my life
