Sad News

It took me awhile to get up the nerve to write this entry. It is very difficult to say but we lost the little cria during surgery last week. Three vets looked at the leg and after seeing x-rays, the only alternative was to pin the bone together. The way the bone was broken it appeared that she may have twisted her leg. The break was too high to put a cast on it. It was a simple procedure but when you put a young cria under anesthesia, it gets critical. Sad to say she didn't make it.

We talk about the animals as livestock, but you can't help but fall in love with these gorgeous creatures. We did everything possible to save her and there was nothing else we could have done differently.

On a happier note, everyone else is doing fine. Sergio is a little spitfire and loves to run and pronk around sunset. Here he is racing into the barn with Thor in tow.

Sergio Wins!
