I got to photograph a friend's Friesian foal!!

This adorable four day old purebred Friesian colt belongs to a friend I met a year ago at a dressage clinic at my barn. I got to go meet him yesterday and take pictures. He is absolutely adorable and soooo much fun to watch. He was tasting everything, running around, climbing his mom, bucking, pretending to spook, etc. So fun! Check out these pictures. I'll get more posted soon and I hope to go visit him again soon!

Isn't his mom gorgeous??

He's giving her kisses. :D

He was zooming around everywhere.

How adorable is this guy??

This is my favorite picture I think!

Sooooo handsome!!!!!

Meeting this little dude was the highlight of my week! It also makes me really want another baby!!! :D

Sire: Unknown (Standard Donkey)
Dam: Unknown (Standard Donkey)
Breed: Standard Donkey
DOB: 2007
Height: N/A
Weight: N/A
Color: Gray (what do you call the donkey color??)

Date Aquired: My dad rescued/bought him shortly before I brought Chrome home, but he gave him to us on 1-18-10.

Likes: Treats, forehead scratches, his buddies and braying early in the morning.
Dislikes: Being handled at all (his first three years were spent in someone's backyard never being touched), sudden movements and sometimes his bratty pasture mate Chrome. :D

I'm in my thirties, live in the USA and I love horses (obviously). I've been obsessed with Friesians (that's Chrome's purebred Friesian sire in the above picture) for over ten years. I started riding horses when I was five and always had horses from then until 2007 when I found myself without one. I wanted a Friesian, but the budget wouldn't allow for it so I started looking at crosses. I found Chrome (Friesian/Arabian) and I haven't regretted it for a second. I bought him as a five month old weanling in 2009 and I've done all of his training myself. The blog is about our continued journey together as I attempt to make him my dream all around horse who can do anything from dressage, competitive trail riding, driving, mounted archery, working equitation and anything else we want to try. He's still very green and we obviously have a long way to go, but you're welcome to follow along on our journey. I also love dogs, art, photography, writing, reading, fishing, biking, camping, archery and many other things. You can learn more about me on my About Me page, my Equestrian Bucket List page and my FAQ page.
