Firecracker
This little colt was born on July 3rd (if I remember correctly). His mama is a horse that is being pastured down at my Pappaw's while her owner is deployed overseas. The colt wouldn't nurse the whole first day after his birth, and we were worried that he might not figure it all out. The vet came out and milked his mama to help the little guy out, and he finally caught on how to do it himself the next day. Emily is calling him "Firecracker" due to the date of his birth. Colts crack me up because they are just all legs.

Beautiful image. Great, now I have to go find some horses to photograph? Love it Amy.
You know I have a soft spot for horses, I have two that no one wanted and I could not stand the thought of .... well you know!
Momma is a real bute. I assume that baby a guy since you called him a colt. They are nothing but legs.. the name seens very fitting. When it's time to break him the fireworks may really go off.
Great picture.
Couldn't sleep... I was playing "Seekadoo" a word game and now a I am sleepy...What are you doing up @ 1:59?? Nite nite!
Ahhh, so cute!! I also have a soft spot for horses!! Oh, and I can't wait to show Emily this picture!! She will have a cow!! Maybe when I grow up I can have a horse of my own!
how cute! good thing he caught on to eating.
How adorable...my dad and his girlfriend are working on getting some colts. They have a barn for washed up race horses. And she teaches riding lessons..
I love to look at horses, I used to love to ride, but a few bad experiences changed all that!! Now I just admire them from afar!!
Simply beautiful!
