BIRD FARM SOUTHJuly Surprise
This morning my horses were restless. I heard them at 4 am
and again at 4:30. At 5 am they were whinnying and sounded
different. So I climbed out of bed, put the bathrobe on and
stumbled outside to see what was happening.
What to my wondering eyes should appear - but this -
standing in my pasture. I had 4 horses when I went to bed
on June 30th. When I stumbled outside on July 1st, I still
had 4 horses but there was a new mule baby!
The little feller was still wet when I first saw him. He was
just getting his sea legs under him and was pretty wobbly.
His mom, Jenna, decided that she didn't need a bouncing,
mumbling, swearing, berobed audience and left with the
baby for a quieter part of the pasture. I went galloping
back into the house to wake Mike. This was just too cool
for him to miss.
What a handsome little buckskin man he is! His markings
are just perfect. I named him July. Yeah, I know, no
imagination whatsoever. Get over it. Now his name is
July Fisher. So says his owner, John Ritchey.
