We had another amazing birth take place. We had been watching Target all day and all night to have her foal since she had all the signs of foaling any minute. We had our bedroom monitor locked in on her. It was the wee hours of the morning and I had just walked in to get something to eat when I happened to glance at the computer screen with all the other cams and saw that we had a donkey down and pushing. It was not Target, it was Sweet Pea! I ran into the bedroom and awakened Joe and we both darted out to the barn in time to assist Sweet Pea with her foaling. Sweet Pea had a text book delivery and presented us with the most precious little intermediate points black jennet. We are so blessed to have had such two unbelievable foals back to back.
Sweet Pea was bred to Black n Blue, aka Bruise, our young herd sire and this was his first offspring. We are so excited about what he has produced for us. He and Sweet Pea have put their gene stamp on this gorgeous little girl in a very special way. We could not be any more pleased with Sweet Pea, Bruise, or Sweet Punch. Our friend in Florida, Donna, named this little foal for us. Suits her since she is sweet as can be and her daddy is Bruise, the jack with the 'knock-out' punch! Thanks, Donna, we love her name!
