It's A Boy!!!!

In the wee hours of Thursday the 15th, Piper gave birth to a beautiful, healthy colt who has his mother's coloring and his father's markings and conformation. Michelle Neumayer came to photograph the under 6-hour newborn and found him attempting to walk, feed and explore his stall. The biggest challenge for the little fellow was figuring out which end of Mommy the milk came from. He worked on this a few times, successfully feeding, and then needed a long nap to recover his strength. By the time Michelle left he was looking very confident at using his legs and was beginning to explore both his mother and his stall with confidence and curiosity. He and his Mother were nickering to each other as she nuzzled him with gentleness and amazement.

Enjoy the pictures of our Baby Boy!!!
