This little filly was born early 1/23/12. She's the last foal by TWH stallion, Threat's Silver Sun, who was sadly put down last April due to blindness. Silver was white, and white horses are more prone to skin cancer, so perhaps his color also contributed to his weak eyes. Before his death we put the above ASB mare, Missouri Showtime, in with Silver in hopes of keeping him from running into barbed wire fences. But it became increasingly apparent that Silver was going to keep injuring himself as well as injure us. Due to his inability to see, he practically ran right over me on a couple of occasions...not his fault, he simply couldn't tell where I was. His last foal is a 'lit up' bay...one with lots of chrome.

Just yesterday??? It is hard to believe baby horses could be so big and complete almost immediately after birth.
And what great pictures. Just lovely. Missouri Showtime looks like a candidate for Mother of the Year.
Thank you for posting theses lovely pictures.
They made my day. Love to all.
The thanks goes to Mr. Photographer for taking the pictures...I merely posted them. And YES, Mama "MO", as she's called here on the farm, does deserve a reward for her mothering skills!
I love "lots of chrome." Is that a horsebreeder's term?
Ps you should post a link to your blog when you put up on Facebook.
Yes, o wise PR Queen, it is a horsey term. Thanks for the tip! I'm such a BAD sales person... :(
