Some New Baby Pictures of Smitty
I am starting to count the days until Smitty, my next new horse, is weaned and able to leave North Dakota for Idaho.
Smitty, of course, remains blissfully unaware that life will ever involve anything but snuggling with mom, playing with his half sister, eating on demand, and taking baby naps.
Here are some new pictures of him, at about 3 1/2 months old. You'll note that both the foals are shedding from bright sorrel to dark chestnut.
Thanks to Gail Smith for the photos!

He's a cutie!
Cannot wait til you get the little guy home so we can see him grow. I'm quite certain we will be seeing quite a bit of him in the future!
You are welcome to see how E Arrow Paha and E Arrow Bonds Butty are doing since they moved to Michigan.

How nice to visit your blog and see how your two boys are doing. And, nice to see how well you are caring for them!
He's gorgeous! I love Appy eyes, so expressive, and they look the most human.
He has such a nice little head, with mischevious eyes!
Its going to be neat to watch him grow up. What are your plans for him?
My immediate plans for Smitty are to get to know him and just enjoy having him as a horse to raise. He'll tell me what he wants to do and be--whether it's trail horse, show horse, roadside attraction, or all the above.
I have always enjoyed raising up young horses. It's fun to see them grow and progress.
He is so adorable! I can't wait to see him in your pasture! I bet you're bouncing up and down with excitement. I know I would be!
Awh he's precious Juli! I'll be thinking of him when I have to make a quick trip to Fargo this evening! I bet he will appreciate getting to leave for his new home with you before he has to experience any of our winters :0)
What a cutie! I love the big appy butt! What a dream to watch a new one grow and blossom.
He's adorable...no wonder you're excited to get him home!
You must be so excited. He does have a pretty little head. And of course, spotted butts make me weak.
I got my first baby last August. A lovely little Paint gelding. I can't believe how fast they grow! It has been such a wonderful experaince and I can't wait for further updates on the little guy!

He is the prettiest headed little appy I have ever seen. Bless him and you! Devorah
Aren't "babies" cute!
several of the ranches around here have foals,,,love seeing the "babies" stretching their little knobby legs....and enjoying the sun as well as a quick snack while mama is grazing,.....

Smitty is a beautiful boy. I''m sure you are anxious to have him with you.
Ooooo, he is so handsome! Look at how wide that chest and butt are already! He's got the cutest little speckly-spotts-freckeled all over that derrier!
What beauties... & Smitty..blanket:-)
So adorable.
Hi Juli! Beautiful pics of your baby! My granddaughter won the Casey Brantner Memorial Colt at the Clay Co. Fair, so we will have a baby around here at weaning time, too. She is really looking forward to "bonding" with him! I so like that you are going to let your baby tell you "what he wants to be when he grows up". What a wonderful way to approach his future training!
Oh my gosh, Casey Brantner! How well I remember him from when I was growing up and doing horse activities around Fargo-Moorhead. He and my dad were good friends and he was always so encouraging to me about my riding and showing.
Congratulations to your daughter for winning the CB memorial award. Casey would have been so proud to see this.
