| FOAL WATCH 2004 |
|
| Updated Wednesday February 23, 2005 |
| Our black and white tobiano foal was born early Thursday April 29, 2004. We thought he was a dark bay/white at first, until the sun came up and we realized he was black/white. It was due April 6-10, 2004 so he was about 3 weeks late.... The vet has already visited and said we have a very healthy little colt! He spent most of the day learning to walk, then run, then nap, then run! Dancer is a 1995 bay/white tobiano Jet is an APHA registered black/white tobiano. Dancer has had 2 previous foals by Jet: 1999 bay/white tobiano mare 2002 black/white tobiano mare |

| APHA Lil' Miss Sundance (Dancer) in foal to APHA Leo's Victory Jet - This picture was taken April 18, 2004. Her estimated due date was sometime between April 6-10. As you can see, as we got farther and farther past her due date she was getting extraordinarily large and round! |

| He is quite the mellow little colt, and loves people! |
| Luckily, Dancer has been allowing us to handle her baby just about anytime we want. |
| He tires quite easily and goes to mom for milk between pets! |
| From his very first day, he has been imitating Dancer as she eats! He fills his mouth with hay and chews and chews, but doesn't really understand what to do with it after that, so he usually spits it back out or walks around with strands of hay hanging out of his mouth. He also constantly puts his head in her grain bucket and takes bites, we think he swallows that whole! And the last few days he has been taking drinks from the water tank. I guess at 6 days old, he thinks he is a big grownup horse! |
