Look who I found in the Nursery Pen when I arrived at work today. Born Sunday, at 6pm, Cinna is our newest addition and is doing well. At only 11 lbs, Cinna is tiny but she is strong and feeding well. She will have to wear a brace for a while on her front leg as the tendon is too loose, but that's a minor issue and won't stop Cinna exploring her world.
Mom, Loretta, is very protective of her new cria. She obviously knows Cinna needs a little more care and attention. Loretta is a great Mom and stands patiently whilst Cinna feeds for as long as she needs to.
Cinna's bay black fleece is super soft and she's very vocal. It's a little early to tell how much of dad Charmer's traits have been passed on but for now, we're very happy with her progress.

As she's so tiny, she can only be allowed out on the pasture for an hour at a time and she really enjoys the comfort of the grassy field.

Cinna is the first of our fall babies, so don't be caught napping, drop by and pay us a visit to check them out. Our Open Barn is coming up soon, on 29th and 30th September, and maybe we'll have one or two more new arrivals by then. If you can't make that weekend, don't forget we are open daily from 10am. We look forward to seeing you.
