The Newest Addition
This is Promises, a Trakehner colt born just last week to Preglestar. He's been bringing my ma a lot of joy while she's sidelined with a broken (ouch!) rib (ouch!) and is, by all accounts, both an officer and a gentleman. As well as a full brother to her yearling colt Pharaoh.*
*All the Trakhehner babies have to have names beginning with the first letter of the dam's name. This is all well and good when it's "P" but was a bit tougher when the mare Upstart was pumping 'em out. The suggestion "Umbilicus" was rejected more times than I care to count.
