We got my son a "free" Halflinger mixed pony last year. She is a great pony and gentle as can be. We don't know anything about her background or where she came from. Someone call my husbands friend and said come and get her. My husband said one day Berta is getting fat, I think she's pregnant. I say, no halflingers are supposed to be plump and she looks normal to me. Well, he was right.

Oh, your son is just so handsome on her. He looks so comfortable! What a great experience he'll have with a foal! I guess the breed is anyone's guess, right?

Ah, the feeding is no problem. We have lots of hay, and buy grain every month. We will keep the foal for as long as it takes to grow her up and train her. Then I guess that will be up to my husband on whether we keep her past 2 years old, but I suspect we will.

I believe the daddy was a bay colored Welsh Pony. He is a handsome little fellow that is really good at jumping fences. My husbands friend had to build him a special pen to keep him corraled and out of the neighbors pastures. Berta was at our friends house for about a week before we brought her home. Our friend has several little corrals and we made sure she was healthy before bringing her here to live with our gelding Doc. Now I need to come up with a good name. She looks like her mom, but has a reddish mane and tail with a white blaze on her forehead.
