Hemi
arrived at 12:10 a.m on August 18, 2005. We knew Violet was close to
foaling and were keeping an eagle eye on her...mostly via "Donkey
TV" which is conveniently located right next to the bed. I woke
at midnight, saw Violet beginning labor, zoomed up to the barn, and
Hemi was born without assistance 10 minutes later.
Like
all our jack foals, Hemi's official name comes from a tree...the graceful
hemlock.
