Jewel surprised us by delivering her cria two weeks earlier than we expected.  It’s a boy, sired by Snowmass Black Diamond, a handsome bay black.  Jewel is one of our best mothers on the farm and has given us three boys and one girl since we started.  She delivered this one without any help and seemed to resent any assistance offered!  Both are doing well.
