FOXTON FROSTY DAWN
Foal to two years of age photos


Frosty on her feet for the first time with her black silver dam Foxton Smokey Dawn (Topside Midnight X Foxton Felicia) and Nancy Harris. 5/6/02 around 9 AM.


Dawn and Frosty a short while after foaling. Notice Frosty's silvery mane and tail. Flaxen chestnut foals are not born flaxen; their manes and tails grow in flaxen later. This is one clue that this is a silver dapple foal (although there can be other causes for a light mane and tail on a very young foal, as well).


Here's Frosty and Dawn again, 5/20/02. Frosty is two weeks old here.


Frosty at 15 days, 5/21/02. I am amazed at how light her mane and tail are!


Frosty at almost one month old, June 2002.


It's the CHUCK WAGON! That's Frosty on the left. The bay foal is Foxton Night Hawk and the pinto filly is Calico Bonita, by the Harrises' three quarter Morgan pinto stallion, RV Eagle Feather.


A late June picture. Frosty and a friend. A beautiful clear day after the huge Hayman Fire, which burned to within six miles south of Frosty's home at Resort Valley Ranch.


Jim was in Colorado July 2-9, bicycling with friends. The day before he came home, he visited Frosty and the Harrises. Frosty was really friendly, and came right up to the truck for scritchies (he had sandals on so didn't get out to play with her). Thom and Nancy got high marks for their hospitality too!


11/12/02. The start of Frosty's Big Adventure to Covington Georgia. She was very well behaved and the driver liked her a lot!


Frosty here at Brookridge, enjoying some cool season grass. November 2002.


I was trying very hard to get the lovely Bradford Pear trees (the red trees in the background) in a nice head shot of Frosty!


Frosty gets a fair share of visitors. That's ok with Frosty, because she LOVES attention! Here she is in January 2003 with Jan Annee. Photo courtesy of Stephanie Annee.


A strategically placed shavings sack caught Frosty's attention long enough for me to get her away from me and take this picture! March 2003.


The last downy remnants of Frosty's winter coat are coming off and I am anxious to see what she will look like all slicked out! March 2003.


Here is my answer to "what will she look like all shed out?" April 2003. I think she is just beautiful!


Frosty has a love-hate relationship with the tarp I use to get the horses' ears up for pix. She is alternately fascinated and frightened by it. Roadie is REALLY not so sure about all this tarp stuff. At one point he grabbed the tarp in his mouth, and when it "chased" him, he decided it was scarrrrrry ;-)


Unfortunately, Frosty's pretty, dark summer coat color did not last long in our hot Georgia sun! Here is what a sun-faded silver dapple looks like :-) June 2003. Roadie is with her, as usual.


On the move! July 2003.


Just a bit sun faded and VERY fat! August 2004.
