... And a possible first (as well as a definite first) ...
The possible first is that this is possibly the first ever harlequin cria born on our farm. The definite first is that this is definitely the first ever possible harlequin born on our farm!
Why is that even a thing? Well, it has occurred to me for some time now that it might be a little bit challenging to focus on a color that transforms anywhere from a few weeks to a year of age -- particularly when my absolute favorite form of harlequin, the solid silver, undergoes a complete transformation from fawn to silver grey.
So, this little one might be our very first harlequin!

Regardless of "what" she is, color-wise, she is a big, strong, vigorous girl with great bone and a killer head. She looks like she's going to have a really nice fleece, too. So, harlequin or not, we're happy with this one!
