R.I.P "Crickets Star"

This morning Cricket delivered a premature, dead foal. It was a hard blow to us all, as we had been planning on keeping this foal. He was a gorgeous black tobiano colt. I had been hoping for a black tobiano colt. Though we were concerned for Cricket herself for a while, she is up and moving aorund now. She is looking for and calling to her foal right now. There are 3 more foals and 1 llama due soon, so lets pray for safe deliveries and healthy babies. Ebony is due next week and is doing well.

We have buried Crickets colt in the side yard and have named him 'Crickets Star' as he looks like him mommy except he has a little star on his forehead.
