El Chocolate Blanco Tesoro, (White Chocolate Treasure), was born about
7:30 this morning, and weighed in at a hefty 25.4 pounds. His father, Fir Cove Chocolatey, is bay black (very dark brown), and his mother, Fir Cove Flo Jo, is fawn. Chocolatey has only sired one other white cria, and, in that case, the mother was white. Tesoro is tall and strong, has lots of very curly white fleece, and is every bit as adventurous as his big brother, Marco Polo. He's also quite photogenic, so do check out the slide show. Mama, Flo Jo, is more than happy to have her pregnancy over with. She was miserably hot and uncomfortable for the past several days, and she was very grateful when I put up the canopy in her barn yard this afternoon.
