Tuesday, March 28th, 2006NEW Foal!! Introducing…OGO Primavera Black Gold - born March 24th at 6:00 a.m. on the button!
I had been up and down all night and early mornings for over a week. RanchBoss Black Star (Black Velvets Dark Knight x Teluras Black Gold) bred to RanchBoss Cortez (Primavera Valdez x Teluras Black Gold) was due Saint Patrick’s Day. As big as a barn, she still had not foaled. I could tell by the way she was acting that foaling was eminent but I knew she preferred to be alone to give birth. I literally told her out loud that I was going to go in the house for 1 hour and would not be trying to peek at her cross-my-heart-hope-to-die-stick-a-finger-in-my-eye.
Sure enough, 1 hour later I open the back door up a crack to peek out and there is a foal just emerged still attached by the umbilical cord. I quietly went out and fed the adjacent horses so they wouldn’t be worrying about their breakfast. Then I put hay in Black Stars bin and brought her pan of grain to her. I got a bucket of water knowing she would be thirsty - but unwilling to travel down to the end of the pasture to the water trough. After she drank her fill and began to munch on her grain, I turned my attention to the foal who was now standing. A beautiful black colt with a big star in the center of his forehead and a sliver of a snip near his right nostril.
OGO Primavera Black Gold was born on March 24th at 6:00 AM on the button. This colt is significant - due to being a double, Teluras Black Gold (now deceased) who was a pure California Working Western mare of the finest Foundation bloodlines. On the new colt’s sireline, he is a grandson of the late great Primavera Valdez. Thus, this colt’s name is a tribute to both his grandsire and his grand dam. This colt is for sale.
