Lights of London “Lola” was born three weeks premature on May 11, 2008 to my mare, Emma.  She was a beautiful little Cleavland Bay/Thoroughbred cross.  She fought for 8 long days in the ICU in Corvallis.  My friend Krista, her owner, made the very difficult decision to euthanize her to ease her painful struggle.  This is a very sad time for her.  I know all who read this will remember her in your prayers.   This picture was taken just hours before she died.  Emma stuck with her the whole time and wouldn’t leave her half-stall the entire 8 days.  This was Emma’s first baby.

Camanna’s Velvet Hammer (Velvet) gave birth to twin boys!  The first time momma is doing great.  The delivery went very well.  The whole family got to be there.  It was such a good experience for the kids (human!).  Lily cried because “It is just so beautiful”.  Seth had fun taking pictures of all the bloody parts.   I tasted some of Velvet’s milk.  Yummy!  I just don’t have time or motivation to milk her every single day!
