A big surprise, major big!!

Around 7:30 tonight, we got a call that our horse had a baby.  What?  Imagine our surprise because we did not even know she was pregnant.  I thought she was getting fat but I thought it was because she needed to be treated for worms.  My guess was clearly wrong.  We are not sure if we have a girl or boy because momma will not let us get close enough to find out. 

Our horse was living with Norman the donkey so we are certain that he is the dad.  Female horse plus male donkey equals a mule.  It is hard to believe that this little, scrawny horse thing is going to be so big. 


Momma and baby.

Camera shy!
Here is a blog post about Norman the "Alleged" dad.  Not so cute.  The baby is cute in a sort of ugly way. 

I will post more pictures later.  I am still thinking this is a dream that I need to wake up from QUICK!

  1. Aww, I think Norman's kinda cute actually. ;) You know Mules are well sought after in southern pastures right? So if you didn't want to keep him you'd probably have little trouble selling him. We're reading a book right now with a mule in it. His name is: Bad Medicine. tee-hee
