trying to pick which horses to buy and save was a bit of a heartbreaking process. knowing i could save but a few. :(
we didn't have much info on them, just age, sex, and one snapshot.
one thing i knew, that the colts and fillies were running together.
that piece of knowledge cemented the decision on a number of picks.
i picked older fillies knowing we could be saving 2 lives for every one.
of the 4 fillies 3 of them were pregnant.
unfortunately our story is not without sadness.
Nell lost her foal in feb. :( :(
that left November and Eleven due to foal at unknown dates.
Eleven's foal came first, arriving June 4th at 12:45 am.
u guys already know that i wanted the names to be significant,....
well, meet Remember. :XD:
and as a bright red spark of new life and hope, Ember is a great shortform. :D
eleven was a fantastic mommy right from the start. gentle, attentive,
she talked and talked to her new baby. if anyone has not heard a mare talk to her new baby you can listen to eleven here. no video as it was too dark for the camera but you can hear her. :D

and she licked and licked
i was a bit concerned for ember's ears tho :lol:
ember was just a sweet wee baby. :XD:
with no other foals here she had only her shadow to play with... :lol:
she got brave enuff to meet hannah, under the safety of mommy's belly. :D
but hank proved to be her favourite, maybe becuz they were almost the same size? :lol:
shortly they were playing follow the leader ....
seven mths later ember is getting sooo big it's unbelievable.
but she's still a sweetie
and she still likes hank :lol:
