Mares are not to be outguessed. I was so sure Polly would have her foal Tuesday evening. Not so. And Wednesday we had plans to be gone. At 4:00 we talked to Neil and found out that Polly was still ‘just standing there”. I thought for sure we hadn’t missed the Event. But by the time we got home a short time later . . .
The morning sun gave our first good look at his adorable horsey personage. Mark and Kyle have named him Hidalgo. Hidalgo doesn’t know it, but, as they raise him through horseyhood he will be raising them through boyhood. Such a happy arrangement.
