It's a miracle...our little jennet has turned into a jack! This will be the last time I don't check behind my husband for one or two holes!!  Maybe this was a practical joke from Heaven from Bob himself! This has Bob's name written all over it! Thanks for the laugh, Bob, Sandy really enjoyed this one!  But the first thing I am going to do when I get to heaven is kick Bob's ass for kicking us off our high horse! I can hear Bob roaring with laughter all the way from heaven! 

Just born on the 29th of February Leap Year!! He is a spot with eyeliner all the way around his right eye plus an eye patch and on the top of left eye and partial lower left eye. Perfect bite. Bobby has a 'wreath of roses' spot pattern around his neck.  Surely a gift from Bob to Sandy!!! 

Raven belonged to Bob & Sandy Dorris of Wit's End Farm before she lived at Half Ass Acres.. Bob passed away unexpectedly  on February 22nd, 2012, just seven days before this foal was born. The very last act of love that Bob did was send his wife, Sandy, a text telling her that he loved her. In honor of Bob's courageous act and because this jack was born on leap year day we chose the name of Lover's Leap. His call name will be Bobby. We hope this honors the memory of this wonderful man that will be missed by all who knew him.

Thank you to our friend, Sally Lightner, for suggesting the perfect name!

Bobby was gelded by our vet on 6/11/12.
