Mountain Tops Lit'l Maddison (maybe!)

As I have been looking for foals to photograph this spring, I was put in touch with Jennifer Sanderson of Mountain Top Miniatures on the 3rd Line of Oro-Medonte, Ontario. One of her two mares had given birth to a beautiful tiny filly a few days before. What a thrill it was for me not only to photograph the sweet little filly but also to hold her in my arms.

From Jennifer:

"Her registered name will probably be Mountain Tops Lit'l Maddison, or Maddy around the barn. She was born on March 27, 2009 and was only 20 inches tall at birth. Her colour will probably be liver chestnut, possibly with 2 white stockings.

When Maddy grows up she may be used for halter, driving, breeding or jumping. This petite cutie loves to run and loves when people scatch her butt so she can buck at you with her tiny hooves. She has a very outgoing and independent personality and goes out exploring without the care of her mother. Maddy is now learning about grooming tools (brushes, feet picking, etc.)."

Congratulations to Maddy for being our April 6th, 2009 'Horse of the Week'!
