A new "Man" is born..(",)

Here is the latest member of our tribe..., still no name for this little fellow...
I came out to feed the horses yesterday morning, and there he was, born just a couple of minutes ago...
The first thing i saw was another black foal..., there are quite a few of them this year... And then i saw the proof of him being a stallion..;o), the third one for us this year...
But then as he was drying up, i realised that he was not black.., but brown.., with two black frontlegs, and two white hindlegs... And he is the sweetest litte one, and i am very pleased with him...
We don't have a brown stallion yet, not of this color anyway.., and with his sires heavy body and his dams manes and feathers, we hope this one will grow up to being a fabolous stallion one day...:o)
Here som pictures...

FINALLY!!!!!!!

Litle Alfers Romeo is born!!!:o)
Twoflicker was due to have her foal the 18. of April, and we have been waiting and waiting...., and waiting!!!
And last night at 23.50 this little sweetheart was born!!
It is of course a colt, a charmer and therefor his name is Romeo!!(",)
His father is Rowan uit de Hof van Ede, and this is the first foal from Rowan that is tri(two)-color..., which makes me think that his mum, Twoflicker might be a homozygot...??!?
We will have her tested...
His grandfather is Pablo van de Bonte Parels, so this little fellow has really got a great pedigree...
Here are som pictures....
