Barn name - Sunshine or Sunny

​

Bay Full Lippitt Filly, no white markings

foaled at 08:35 April 11, 2020

DNA tested: EE/Aa (PSSM1 clear)

​

Foaled on a beautiful sun-drenched morning, following a long week of fluctuating Colorado spring weather, Sunny felt like the best choice in a name for this lovely filly. 

 

Sunny's mother did a wonderful job with the birth and being her second foal she handled the process excellently.  We are pretty sure Z Halcyon April would have preferred to foal in the dark but the night had been busy and unsettling for her. At the ranch several bison calves were separated from their mothers for weaning, so the night had been filled bellowing and balling from bison moms and babies alike. Additionally in the near fields the Farmer spent a the whole night plowing and harrowing each of the fields in a effort to have the job done before the Sunday's predicted snowstorm. 

 

In the quiet time of the morning Mom decided it was time to deliver and brought forth the long awaited and lovely filly Sunny. Long awaited in that we had been looking forward to her since 2017 when we purchased semen from East of Equinox but then felt it better to hold off a year, after Crescendo had been born. 

​

We have a wonderful vet, who did an awesome job preforming the AI from a single dose of frozen semen, that brought us Sunny. Unfortunately the second dose we had stored has been accidently damaged making it unusable. So we feel very fortunate that Sunshine has come in to being.
