Announcing The Newest Furbaby On Our Farm, "Clover Oaks Alexandra of Bellau Wood" by Elizabeth Sescilla Via Flickr: Ok, so her name is a bit of a mouthful, so you can just call her Ally :) For those of you who have not yet "met" Ally in my earlier photos when we were anticipating her arrival, she is a 6&1/2 month old Belgian Ardennes. Here's a photo of her with her dam when she was very young: www.flickr.com/photos/dogislove/2614751680/ In Belgium, this breed is very common, but in the US, there are only 8 horses of this breed, and Ally is the first Ardennes foal ever born on US soil! Her color is Bay Roan. It's hard to tell in these photos b/c she is wet from the rain in the past 2 days, and the mud that she has learned she loves to roll in *grin*, but her head and legs are bay, her body is bay with lots of roaning (white hairs mixed throughout to give it a lighter color), and her feather is black. We are so excited and we just feel so fortunate to have been able to purchase such a special, beautiful filly. She is such a tank, and especially so for her age!
