Nap Time
The antics of colts always intrigue me. And this particular little fellow is no exception. With all the wonderful weather we\’ve been having lately, this colt\’s mother likes to take the time to indulge in sunlight naps. However, her son often has different ideas.

Very cute and perfect play-by-play Jenn. Love the foals and their antics. Mom looks like a patient sweetheart.
Just adorable! I wondered if you wrote this during Faythe and Braxton’s ‘naptime’….
Trust all is going well – really missing my baby snuggles!
Were these the pictures you took that day I was there? They’re adorable!
