First
of all a BIG THANK YOU to one of our Mare Stare viewers, Canadianlady, who called to wake
us up and tell us Bow was in labor. We had been watching Sunshine, who had all the signs
of going in to labor, rather than Bow who had no immediate signs of labor. I felt for sure
our viewer had made a huge mistake. Not so…Bow 's water had broken and she was in full labor
right before our eyes. We, hurriedly, ran to the barn and were able get there for the beautiful
birth of a perfect spotted little girl.
You may remember that Bow is the mother
of our adored
Pony-Tailed Lass who was born 2 years ago
with no tail. Many of you helped with her doctor bills for her operations during the fund
raiser named
"Pin the Tail on the Donkey"
that was organized by my cherished friend, Sandy Dorris. Pony Tail is one special little
girl and a great mascot for us at Half Ass Acres sent to us from Heaven above. She will
remain with us forever. You can now imagine some of our anxiousness about the birth of this
foal. When the foal was clear of her mother, we immediately looked to make sure she had
her tail. There is was, it was gorgeous, Bow was fine, the baby was fine, and all was right
with the world. I told Joe she had the prettiest tail I'd ever seen. Tears of joy, for our
dear Bow and her baby, rolled down my face as I gave all the Praise and Glory to our Lord
for this baby.
We have named Pony Tail's sister, "Gypsy Heart" for her beautifully
colored coat and for all the warmth in our hearts over her birth. She catches your eye dancing
around looking like a beautiful gypsy in all her finery. Her stocky little body is covered
with spots of several colors. We see dark brown, black, even tones of red. This little spotted
girl has it all in one nice solid package. We can't wait for Bow to take Gypsy out to meet
her sister
Pony-Tailed Lass,
and her best friend,
Poppy.
It will certainly be a Kodak Moment. That should tell you something…..Gypsy is not for sale
at this time.
