Cabinwood's Hondo Lane

DOB: June 25. 2008

  22" Dark brown jack with sorrel highlights & black legs!

 Sire: Ozark's Red Sierra  32 3/4" Dark sorrel

 Dam: 4-Z's Spitfire 31 1/2"  Dark brown

   Boys! Boys! Boys! Hondo is our last Red Sierra foal of the 2008 breeding year...5 great boys in a row! Can you believe it! Spitzy delivered him with ease around 4:30am with Al and myself and granddaughter Alexandria on hand to watch. No help was necessary and as usual, Spitzy is a great Mom! This little guy was up and looking for fun and frolic almost immediately!

Just when you think you've seen your best donkey born, darn if another one comes along!! Hondo is a real mixed bag of colors! Like his half-brother Jake, he too has the 4 coal black legs from the knees down. His body is a dark brown body hair with shades of sorrel here and there. His face is dark with big light eye-rings like his Mom's and  very heavy with sorrel highlights. In the center of his forehead he sports a small star of white hairs!!! This little guy is another exceptional example of Red Sierra's strong conformation and solid build combined with the colors and great conformation of his Dam 4-Z's Spitfire...obviously by his looks, this is a truly successful combination!

Hondo Lane is named after John Wayne's character in the 1953 movie Hondo.

Cabinwood's "Guns" Donovan

(Gunny)

DOB: June 18. 2008

  20" Dark sorrel jack

 Sire: Ozark's Red Sierra  32 3/4" Dark sorrel

 Dam: KansAss Laughlin's Star  34" Dark sorrel

Tiny Gunny snuck into Cabinwood Farm without anyone knowing!! I had gone off to the monthly DonkeyPals meeting and while I was gone Star delivered this little fellow all by herself! She wasn't due till the 4th of July so we just weren't expecting her to deliver so early!!

He is a tiny little guy but he was up and nursing soon after his birth and given a few extra days to get some strength and secure his wobbly legs we're sure he'll be out running with the other boys real soon!! He has the usual Red Sierra good looks!!

Gunny is named after the John Wayne character Michael Patrick "Guns" Donovan  from the 1963 film Donovan's Reef.

Cabinwood's Big Jake

  DOB: June 18. 2008

  21 1/2" Dark Brn jack with black legs!

Sire: Ozark's Red Sierra 32 3/4" Dark sorrel    

Dam: ASSphalt Acres Olivia  32" Dk Brown

         Once in awhile a foal comes along that all you have to do is look at and you KNOW he is something special. Big Jake was only a day old when these pictures were taken but already he is poised and postured for greatness!!!   His birth was quick and his mother Olivia is doing a wonderful job taking care of this boy!! We are very proud of her and of this little jack!

His coloring is very striking with all 4 legs from the knee down jet black and his body then is a dark brown with contrasting shades of brown/ black. His gums are perfect, legs all around are straight and solid and he is so sure of himself  that the first day after his birth he strutted right into the pasture and announced his arrival! Red Sierra has given us one fantastic boy after another this year and Jake is the best so far!!!!

We will be watching this boy very carefully.   

Jake is named after the John Wayne Character Jacob McCandles in the 1971 movie Big Jake.                              

Cabinwood's Clifford the Red

  DOB: May 12. 2008

  22" Dark sorrel jack

 Sire: Ozark's Red Sierra 32 3/4" Dark sorrel

 Dam: MGF Venus Mon Cherie 33 1/2" Dark sorrel

    Mon Cherie wasn't due for another week so luckily when I checked her bag at my final barn check last night and saw its milky color I put her in her own barn area before I went to bed!! Sometime around 3am darn if she didn't go and foal and I missed it! The first foal here at Cabinwood Farm I haven't seen come into this world! Regardless, Cherie did a fine job without my assistance and gave us our second Sierra sorrel jack foal! He was up and active by the time I got to the barn and Cherie was munching on a flake of hay. Much like his half brother Kirby, Clifford is straight on in the legs, has great gum alignment and looks to be a fine and handsome fellow. He is a bit longer in the body and has a little bit different shaped head so hopefully that will help us tell them apart when they all get together in the pasture!

This time we have broken from our tradition of naming jacks after John Wayne characters and given this little guy the name Clifford the Red after my youngest son CJ (Clifford James) and his best childhood friend...Clifford the Big Red Dog!
