Surprise, surprise! I was sitting on the back deck relaxing and enjoying my first afternoon of vacation. I noticed that Amy was lying in the back pasture, which was unusual. I kept an eye on her and noticed that she was heaving like she was having contractions or colicking. I ran out there and she wasn't colicking! She was having a baby! A beautiful, chocolate-colored colt with white spotting on his rump and legs. Sherri has offered to adopt him, but she wants to call him Amos, Chandler or Bryce. Holy crap! Those are horrible.
I have been trying to handle him every morning and evening. The first day he was very accepting of me and let me rub him all over. He has become a bit more skittish in the last two days. I should have done a better job of imprinting him, had I known!
Last night I put both he and Amy into the larger pasture with the donkeys and the goats. The donkeys stalked Moose like the Borg. It was pretty funny. I could watch him for hours. He runs all over the place bucking and playing.
