Please Welcome Penny!

Hi Penny, I'm Max!
Don't worry Mom. I got it all under control.
GET ME OUT OF HERE!
First steps

Imlay delivered her 2009 cria on August 15th, around 6pm. Was a little worried about her with the late in the day labor, but all was well as Imlay proved once again: "I got it under control, 6am or 6pm, doesn't matter!" On top of having a healthy cria and unassisted delivery, she gave us a gorgeous little girl!

Currently calling her Penny as she was the color a bright new shiny penny yesterday. Today, she's turning into a lovely dark - medium fawn. She's the largest cria we've had born here to date at 21.8 pounds. Our other cria have averaged between 15-17 lbs at birth. Imlay is a champ and Creme Brulee, our Patagonia Compadre son, is now proven with a little girl on the ground. Great job Imlay and Creme!
