Valentine |
|
|
 |
We are so excited to offer this
wonderful filly by the remarkable Friesian Stallion,
Jorrit out of
our Thoroughbred mare, Borschette.
Valentine is the most precocious foal I have ever met.
She did everything; stand, walk, trot, canter, gallop, eat, and GROW in
record time. She is much larger than the Thoroughbred babies her
age.
Imprinted at birth, she is interested in humans and
very friendly and trusting. |
| Valentine has the same
wonderful self confidence that Borschette gives all her babies. She
halters, and stands for her feet to be cleaned with never a wobble or
argument. Valentine is also demonstrating the speed and agility that
helped her dam win races in her younger years.
Not knowing the stallion personally, we can't say for
sure, but we are fairly certain that Valentine has her size from her father,
as well as his
amazing movement, and we think she has his ears.
Her first video will be available soon. |

Lighter than air at 14 hours old Out in the world (at least out in the baby's pasture) at 12 hours old. Just a nice shot at about 12 hours old. The baby with the black star is 8 hours old
After a complete tour of the field, many meals from mom, and a couple of hours to get bored watching mom eat grass, baby Valentine is experimenting with the canter and the gallop. She discovered the walk and then the trot before she left her own paddock. The first order of business for mom (Borschette) is to show baby Valentine all around the pasture perimeter. For the next month she will almost always place herself between the baby and the fence.
