Check out the New Cria


Pedro's Pride Ranch, September 10, 2006:

Newborn cria and he is a doll. This little boy does not have a name yet, but he deserves a magnificant one. His dam is a mom for the first time and she is taking on the role extremely well. She is a silver gray. The little one's sire is also a gray and the baby is a spectacular rose gray with very unusal and distinctive markings.

His ears are so light colored, they appear white. His legs are a light gray at feet, blending beautifully into an almost pink color, then darker rose gray along his sides and topline. His tail is a lighter shade of gray than his back, making it stand out in a very attractive way.

He weighed in at 14 lbs and was born on day 322. The sire, dam and this cria are owned by 007 Ranch, Roland and Dianne Carlill who reside in Fairbanks, Alaska. They report that the leaves there have changed to brilliant colors, but that snow can't be far behind. They are both very happy about the birth of this healthy little boy.
