Rosey -or- Yet-to-be Named *** Chapter 3 ***

Stardate 050708

Today Rosey is 10 days old. This morning Kittee and I stood at our home office window and watched as she romped, jumped, and ran around in the barnyard paddock.

Since she was one day old, she has been enjoying turnout into the beautiful sunshine of northeast Oregon, with a few snowflakes on some days.

Rosey is a very active and happy little filly, so much joy to watch. We have no problem calling to her, kneeling down and having her come for pets and hugs. A very loving, soft little critter.

I think in the past 10 days, we have probably made a few hundred+ pictures of our little filly. I will share a few of them with you since day one as you may also follow her story back through Chapter 2, and Chapter 1.

To date we are very impressed with our filly, as everyone that sees her feels that she may turn into a bright bay, reflecting the colors of her sire - EAGLEFROMTHELIGHT and grandsire -- World Champion Stallion - *SIMEON SHAI+, with the ear tip curls from her Varian Arabian grandsire -- Desperado V and great grandsire, Horse of Legend Huckleberry Bey breeding. Her tail and mane show mostly black and she has one white hoof. We will see how all this turns out when she sheds her foal coat. At this point Rosey is everything we were looking for/ hoping for in our Arabian foal... except a few thousand dollars of payback.

Here again, with hope to bring you closer to our ranch life, I shall let the pictures tell the story of Rosey first ten days of McKuster Ranch Life...


















































Now 10 days old...
stands this tall...
and has a beautiful baby buckteeth smile.

To be continued...
