Welcome to the World, Paloma!
On May 9th, just as the clock rolled over, at 12:31AM, Frida welcomed her filly, Paloma Isabel into the world. Her birth was fast and without complications. We were then waiting for the 1–2‑3 guidelines: standing within one hour, nursing within two, and the placenta…

Three Months with our Silver Rose

Getting to Know Eda

A Day in the Life with Zuri
7:45 AM — Rise and shine! I greet the day, and my neighbor Veronica. The weather has changed towards the drier, but sleeping outside is not my cup of sweet water — I much prefer to luxuriate in a plush stall. So you’ll find me inside in the mornings, waiting patiently…
