UPDATE: Spring (11 weeks)
So many people have asked …. here she is!
Spring and Annie (the mare) moved to new digs, this weekend. Their new home includes seventeen acres of evergreens and rocky hillsides, just like the place where she was born. Our girl has come a long way …. I think the picture pretty much says it all!

OMGosh, I’m am speechless, Arla. Thank you so much for being there when Spring needed you, pulling her through, all the way to finding her and Annie a new paradise, and for sharing it with us on RB!
Arla M. Ruggles replied
It wasn’t hard to find … Spring’s papa Ray owns the place. We spent half the summer fencing it for the girls, and they seem very happy there. :)

(If she keeps growing like this, she is going to be too tall very soon.)
