This little guy has beautiful markings. I'm not just sure what color he is at this point. Looks to be either brown or charcoal grey. Either way, he's gorgeous.
He is a very showy little boy with wonderful markings. Lots of black markings on his legs. Another very friendly boy. Difficult to take a picture as he wants to follow me around!

This little jennet is a beautiful rich copper red coloring and hence the name. She has great conformation with nice straight legs and a perfect bite. Her pedigree includes Sunset Acres Cayenne, Stoney Acres Fire Cracker who won championships at the Red Deer MDE II and of course Diamond's Treasure and NCL Diamond Flush.
This is Wish's first foal and she's an awesome mom. Penny has gone to live with Allison in Calgary. Both are lucky girls!

Well this was a surprise. Showgirl is a maiden jennet and when we checked her in the evening, she did not show the signs of foaling. Her bag was still soft and floppy and her milk was clear. But to be on the safe side, I decided to put her in the barn. When we checked the camera in the morning, there was the new foal. Just goes to show, you can never trust a maiden jennet!
This is another great foal and the last of Ten's foals this year. Her conformation is very correct and she has a very mild disposition with a nice friendly personality. She is being offered for sale.

They don't come much cuter than this. He is definitely herd sire quality with his excellent conformation and pedigree. The dam, Circle C Crimson, is an outstanding jennet with excellent bone structure. This little boy is being offered for sale as either a herd sire or gelding.

9 weeks of age - her coat has bleached out so has changed color. But she's still a black. Her nose has also turned white. And she is still very well built! She is still a very friendly girl.

Ten out did himself this time. This little girl is a beauty. Lacey was 2 weeks past the year and I thought she would be early so it was a long wait. Mystique is built like a tank. She has great bone structure, a perfect bite and the personality to match.

Our second foal of 2016, another foal from Nugget and he has stamped his foals well. This little boy is solid and has a stocky build like Nugget. Again, he's built to perfection with a straight bite, and straight legs. Pradda has such a gentle demeanor and it looks like this fellow will also be laid back like his mom. Ace and his friend Shaker will be going together to their new home in the fall.

What a fancy Jack! This little guy is from our own Nugget and is Nugget's first foal. We have great hopes for our jack after seeing the conformation and disposition of this little guy. He has perfectly straight legs, a beautiful head and a perfect bite. What more can you ask for. And I love the color. He will make someone a great pet!
