Gray-Dun
Dam: Little Friends Serina
30
1/2"
Gray-Dun
Victoria is our last baby for the year. She
has had a rough start in this world. We had to syringe feed her for the
first 14 hours since she couldn't figure out how to latch on to her mom's
milk bottle. She is fine now and is a sweet little girl. Her name reflects
her early struggle for survival. Out of two small parents she will likely
not get very big.
Pictures at 1 1/2 days - pictures below at 7 days.

Another little baby that arrived while I was
watching another jenny on the monitor. He arrived 9 days early to an
experienced wonderful moma - one of my favorite jennies. He is a small,
stocky, very nice colored foal with a nice colored background - including
Circle C Little Motown in his dam's lineage added to Jolly's extensive
background.

Little Friends Muna Lee
Date of Birth: 10. October 2004 - before midnight
Birth Height: 21"
Color: Gray-Dun - some rose tones
Sire: Ass-Pirin Acres Jolly Roger
30 3/4"
Light Red
Dam: Laughlin's Soballia
34"
Dark Brown
What a surprise when my husband woke me up to
tell me that I should put the baby up before it starts raining (the only
rain forecasted in almost 2 months)! She wasn't due for another three
weeks and I was watching another jenny on the monitor when this little
girl arrived outside. What she is lacking in color considering her
parents' colors and background she is certainly not lacking in
conformation! She is beautiful!!! Stocky, drafty and heavy boned and
straight - even as a newborn! She is a full sister to Little Friends Red
Ruby (red/sorrel) that we have retained for our breeding herd. She has 726 ancestors in her
donkey tree and boasts a variety of color with lots of red on both sides
of her pedigree.
Pictures at 8 hours.
This little girl is for sale.

Sire: to be added
Dam: Delta Tina Turner
32
1/4"
Brown
The timing of this little girl's birth was a
total surprise to us since we purchased her mother as possibly bred for
2005. We didn't realize the impending birth until the very day this tiny
baby was born. Her birth was unusual as well since her mother decided to
stand up when the baby was 3/4 of the way delivered and I had to
physically support the baby. She is finally starting to have a little bit
more energy at 2 days of age. I am soooo greatfull that Tina is such a
good mother at such a young age.

Mayson is another light red son of Jolly.
Fancy didn't waste any time teaching him his feeding schedule. He has
learned quickly to stay away from Fancy's back end and swishing tail. I
had to fish him out of the water bucket once as a result. He looks like
Little Pinkster and together may make a good driving team in the future.

jacks that were born here within 20 hours. He is a solid little jack and
his dam Dolly needed some help with his delivery. All is well now and he
is a very handsome boy with nice conformation. He probably has the
black tones from his maternal grand sire who is black. He also has a
variety of other colors in his background including lots of red.
With two small parents he should also mature small.

Dam: Little Friends Ranch Candie
32"
Gray-Dun
Cappuccino is the first of three little jacks. I was
watching two jennies on the monitor - but not Candie since she didn't look
that ready. She just snug him in. He is a cutie and looks very much like
Candie when she was a baby. He is proportioned nicely and with two very
nice parents we only expect him to turn out nicely as well. He should
remain small. His pedigree goes back to the Sardinian imports and Circle C
Little Motown (black) with a variety of color and lots of red!
Pictures taken at 1 day - the first picture is more like his real
color - the other was taken with a flash.

32
3/4"
Brown/White Spotted
Lady Bug is the smallest baby born on our
farm. One could just scoop her up under one arm. She has beautiful color
with a broken dark shoulder stripe on one side. Her eye-patches, ears and
behind her ears look red. Her back is also very uniquely colored -
it looks like someone took an eraser
and just erased the color off of her back (stripe and all) across the
middle and also her mane right behing her ears. She has black eye lashes
on one side and white ones on the other. She looks as if she is wearing
Mascara. What a cute, tiny baby she is!

Sire: Asspirin Acres Jolly Roger
30 3/4"
Light Red
Dam: McWirther's Jewel Dawn
31
1/2"
Gray-Dun
And our fourth daytime baby this foaling season.
Rinaldo is a cute little gray jack foal out of two small parents. When he
was born he looked like he was wearing a hood. He was wearing a piece from
the bag he was in right on top of his head. He was up and nursing quickly.
He is a nicely conformed and square little guy with a beautiful light gray
color. I love his very black muzzle (just like his mom) with just a band
of white around it. Like Happy's first foal he has a super sweet
personality and doesn't know a stranger at just a day old. He loves to
pass under his dam's belly and between her legs and she just freezes to
accommodate and not hurt her baby.

Our second daytime baby this foaling season.
Little Red Dipper is a nicely conformed little jack foal with beautiful
color! He has an outstanding pedigree with 647 known ancestors in the

known ancestors in his pedigree are
Valintino 75 (Red Baron), Valintino 49
(Winchester), Philamina 34, Throwback to Blue, Theseus, Parentheses, Queen
Isabella, Luigi 95, Blue's Blue, Philamina 48 and 79 - going back to the
original imports of Cristofo Colombo on his dam's side and LN stock,
Valintino 50, Arbor Ledge Little Red and many others on his sires side,
also going back to the imports.
As far as we can tell at just a day - old - he looks to be show
quality.

1/4" Gray-Dun
Windy had a stormy entry into this world! We
had high winds, dark clouds and she was born in the middle of it. She
almost literally hit the ground running.... she is the first baby that was
up on her legs before her mother and never fell down once trying. Windy is
a friendly little girl with a red shine all over (Jolly's color
influence). At 24 hours she is already trying to chew little pieces of
hay.
She is our first baby for the season. You can guess how she got her name.
