Tess' Cria
On a
Saturday in March, Tess delivered an energetic baby girl. She
was squirming around
and trying to stand immediately after
birth. It wasn't long before she balanced on those thin wobbly
legs and
took her first steps. She followed her Mom around and soon was nursing
and getting her
colostrum. Since it was a cold early spring day, we put one of our
cria coats on her to keep her warm.

"This coat is warm and cozy". |

"I have a new playmate!" |
"I'll smile for the camera!" |
|
"Watch me! I'll show you how to
run!" |
Rain Cloud's Cria
Another spring day Rainey also
delivered a female cria. She's
silver like
her Mom and has four white legs. It appears that she
is
a suri like her Mom.
We dried her off with towels and the hair
dryer
to keep her temperature up and soon
she was standing and trying to
nurse. The sun was out that day so we moved her
to the front yard
of
the barn and she enjoyed the warmth of the sun while her Mom
enjoyed
some of the grass. After a nap in the sun, she even felt playful
and was
trying to run and jump - just within a few hours after birth.

"This warm sun helps dry me off". |
"Help,
Mom. These long legs are a little wobbly." |
|
"I think my legs are getting
stronger." |
"Think I'll try to run! Oooops, this isn't
easy!" |
|
"Yawn .... I've had a very tiring day!" |
