Jess has this old roping mare that she adores, it has been her go to horse for parades, barrels, chasing cows, trail rides, 4-H, rodeo queen and whatever else one can do with a horse.
This mare is her "heart" horse.
She has wanted to breed a foal from this mare for years now, and last year it was time.
She took her to a lovely stud, and today, her new baby arrived.
We were delighted to be able to watch his birth.
He is a bay colt, no markings, as for now he has no name.
And, so it begins...
