Starlight

Black tobiano mini stallion x Miracle

 

Miracle finally foaled a gorgeous little dark bay or liver colt whose only white marking is a small star. Miracle is a wonderful mother, especially considering the fact that this is her first foal. She snuck through foal watch and he was already on his feet when Vickie found him!

Star is a very smart little colt who is learning quickly. His first lesson at leading went well and he had no problem learning to give his hooves and allow himself to be petted all over. This gorgeous little guy is going to make a wonderful pet or children's pony!

Miracle

(Vickie visiting with Miracle, May 1st, 2005, just before she was bought back.)

Miracle is a beautiful dark chestnut Section B-sized mini mare that was born on our old property. She was hand-raised by us in a family environment until she was sold last spring because we wanted to breed larger ponies. The man who purchased her from us turned her out with a large herd to be a broodmare, and she ran with that herd until early May, when he decided to get out of the pony business. We purchased Miracle back because we wanted to be sure she has an excellent home; the rest of his herd was sold at auction.

The next two photos were taken in early May of 2005, just after we bought her back. Miracle is very heavy bred in these photos and in need of a bit of TLC because she had been out on pasture for the last year with minimal care. After she has had some time to recover from a year of neglect, we're very sure that Miracle will look quite a lot better. She was an exceptionally pretty young filly when we sold her, and will surely be a beautiful mare again once she's not wormy!

Miracle had her first foal on May 16, 2005. Her colt, named Star, was sired by a black tobiano mini stallion, and Miracle has done a wonderful job with him. She managed to sneak through foalwatch and have her colt with absolutely no assistance... He was already on his feet when Vickie found him!
