On Thursday morning, March 22, hubs sent me a picture message on my phone of our new little addition. This wasn't a planned colt...it was an accident of not getting a stud colt cut soon enough. So, we really had no idea of when it would make it's appearance. Twinkie has had a colt before but it was about 14 years ago when my brother-in-law owned her.
Twinkie's first foal was a palimino paint but it looks like this one is going to take after her dad who's a red roan.
The red roan in the back on the left is her dad, Rooster. He is next on the list to be broke this spring...
We are now working on deciding on a name. It's kind of tradition to name foals after candy or candy bars. Some of our ideas have been; Cupcake, Gingersnap or Ginger, Sugar, Pixie Stix, Simba (Chansy's suggestion) and Dave (also Chansy's idea- from Despicable Me).
