White Feather was foaled 6 weeks prematurely.  His due date was September 23, 2008 but he arrived on August 14 instead, to much surprise and delight!

Not a trace of birthing was found anywhere on the foal, in the pasture, or the mother. Ashkatah, our big Paint horse who herds with them, was covered with blood. We think he helped Moon Flower bring this little guy safely into the world. White Feather and Ashkatah were the best of friends. Ashkatah is 15.3 hands and White Feather was at that time (10/8/2008) about 24" tall.

White Feather was so named for his obvious white tail.  He was born a beautiful shade of blue-gray with white socks and a white tail streaked with black at the tip. He looked like he had a big feather stuck on his butt!  When his winter coat came in, he turned a dark chocolate color, almost buffalo. By spring his coat was almost 5" thick and still a dark brown.

As we continue to get updates from White Feathers new owners, he is now almost black.  He was such a great little colt with a wonderful personality and got along with everyone.  We understand he has completely won over the hearts of his new owners, Bette and Patti.  We know White Feather will always be happy at their Fields of Dreams Farm.
