Our foaling season this year has been awesome. With each birth we seem to have been blessed with unique and absolutely gorgeous foals.

This is Felina’s second baby, her first, Radiance, is now a Junior Herd Sire at Itsy Bitsy Burro Co. They are more than pleased with him. Hissy looks exactly like her brother, Ray, except she only has a few tiny hairs for a star and Ray has a large star. In fact, she looks so much like him that we would have named her Red Ray if we had not alreeady used that name.

On June 5th, 2009 Felina started the day out as if she was in early labor and was placed in a stall. That did not make her happy so as she continued showing more and more signs of labor so we moved her to the birthing stall. She paced, and paced, and was very agitated to be so confined. We were unable to put her buddy in the next stall because we had filled that stall with hay a few days before. I went in her stall to sit with her and if I tried to leave she threw a fit. Those watching on Mare Stare were talking about how unhappy she seemed to be and wondered what was taking place. One person sent me this text message, “Felina is so spoiled, she even has to have her mom in the delivery room with her.What a hissy fit she is throwing!" That is when we knew what we would name this precious new baby.

When she was born Joe and I could not believe out eyes. This tiny little girl was wearing the most vivid red coat we have ever seen on any of our newborn foals. I was the one jumping around and throwing the “hissy fit” over her rare beauty. Weighing only 21 lbs, and standing a mere 20 ¼ inches tall she spun her way right into our hearts that very moment. Her little legs are strong and straight, and her bottom is full and round. Hissy instantly became a little lap donkey and her adoring personality let us know she was something very special. Felina is such a good mother and never worried one bit about all the “fits” taking place over her newborn beauty. In fact, we had farm visitors that very day and all of us just sat in the stall floor and played with Felina and Hissy. When standing up she only comes to Joe’s knees. She resembles a stuffed pull toy…..too beautiful to be real.

Once again, we are sorry to say, “Hissy is not for sale”. The Lord has blessed us this year with so many special jennet foals that we thought it might be time to start keeping a few for ourselves. Don't worry..we will start selling our jennet foals again next year!
