Presenting Miss Vivid Jewel!

This is what has been taking up most of my time for the last few weeks. Vivid Jewel was born on May 13. I went out to check on the horses that morning and there she was. A sweet, good natured filly.
Sometimes, bad things follow good. The 14th, my older mare delivered twins. I was crazy excited but I knew they were 4 weeks early. The vet came out to check them and told me not to count on either one making it. Unfortunately, he was right.
Luckily, the old mare adjusted to her loss rather quickly. I turned her back out with her 11year old son (the oldest weanling in the history of horses!) and they returned to life as normal.
Which means that, overall, everything has worked out pretty okay.
