Roux is now home at my place and doing well! He and momma (she is on lease to me until he's ready to wean), are on mare and foal feed and free range coastal hay. I have almost made up my mind to buy his dam. She's blind in one eye, but super sweet and very trusting. And she is a gorgeous little brown!
So here are some new pics of Roux at his new home.
Sorry if they are huge. And pay no mind to my ghetto stall gates. >_<
Why yes, I can side pass already!
This is momma. On our way to gaining back some weight. She should plump up once he's pulled off. She doesn't have cows to compete with for food anymore. Haha! I think she's going to make a rather stunning little mare!
A little back story: The dam will fight off any horse in sight, but she was not interested in chasing off the cow who liked to eat up the grain. Silly mare.
She is maybe right at 14 hands, and Roux looks like he's almost too big now to nurse. I will be weaning him from her in less than a month.
