Posted on the Bighorn Canyon National Recreation Area Facebook page this morning:
Who said only bad things came in 3’s? Biologist Bill Pickett’s 3rd foal this week! The Black mare mama is named Galena and is part of Jackson’s harem, near the Burnt Timber Road.
Tomorrow ends National Park Week – entrance fees waived until then!
Bill Pickett took the beautiful photo! I would like Bill’s job! 🙂
This foal was born to Galena (Mariah, 2006 (Blanca) and Lakota) and the stallion Jackson, 1998 (Broken Bow and Two Boots).
Foals are popping like a spring flowers this year !:) This foal reminds me of Galena’s brother Kalispell.
What long legs she has! Pretty girl!
Has it been announced that it is a female? Guess I missed that. That picture had to be very soon after birth. I love those long legs and that proud stance. Bet it’ll keep Galena busy with its antics! : ) I’ll bet the whole family is proud.
No, nothing has been said if it is a filly or a colt. I wish Matt would do a post on all the new one! 🙂
I’m sure he will soon, but probably plans to do quite a few at one time so we’ll have to be patient…
What a cute baby!
I still just love that pic of Jackson! Notice the slight curl to his nostril. I love their expressions.
