New Photos - 2012 Fillies

                                                                                 
A handling session yesterday gave us an opportunity to take a few pictures of Gailen and Hannah, now 7 and 5 weeks old respectively.   Gailen is older, but Hannah is taller (and loves that!) and is really starting to challenge her bold older 'sister' for attention.   They are also beginning to shed out those furry foal coats and darken, and Hannah looks like she will be a very dark liver chestnut.  We always get a few chuckles out of those first changing  spots around their eyes and muzzles which make them look they are are doing their best baby racoon imitations.  All too soon they will be smooth coated and approaching weaning age.  Makes us wish we could keep them little fillies forever!
