Yesterday morning, this little mule colt was born to my sister and brother-in-law. All the kids decided on the name Bambi -- her mother is called Belle. They also have another female horse named Bebe; the kids wanted to stick with a B name.
There are no words to describe just how long the little colt's legs really are. It is truly amazing that her little legs were all bent up inside her mother just yesterday.
She is still trying to figure out the nursing part, but she never gets far away from her mother at all. She runs every step with her.
This picture shows her trying to figure out how to lay down to take a nap. Yesterday, everyone kept thinking that when she was sleeping, she was dead, and they kept waking her up just to make sure. She got very little sleep yesterday and now she is trying to catch up.
She finally figured out how to tuck her legs under her so that she can lay down. This pasture is visible from our backyard and the kids have spent a lot of time watching the cute colt.
