My first foal experience
By Carol Boudier

I can still see Dustar, like it was yesterday,tiny and wet from being born. This little wee chestnut colt was going to carry me down the center line one day. He was the smallest thoroughbred colt I had ever seen, but he was so cute, with freckles on his white blaze. I helped him get to his feet for the very first time in his life. He leaned against my right side and struggled to his hooves. Now he is a vibrant two year old , and still growing. I can now see the day coming when he will indeed carry me on his back. I hope I don't get bucked off! He is one of the best experiences I've ever had. He really is a part of me.
