Rio's First Year of Life with Me
The next few pages are of Rio's life from the time I got him at about 5 months through pretty much current time, within a few months. This page is for 5 months through his 1st birthday. There's a link at the bottom of this page to see his yearling photos.
Late October, 1998
7 months old
It was such a beautiful late afternoon, and I managed to get the sun just right.
January, 1999
10 months
I had been running around his paddock, trying to get some interest going in him directed at something other than his pile of hay. He was looking at me like I was crazy!
February, 1999
11 months, meeting Sam at his new pasture
March 27, 1999
Rio's 1st birthday
Such a great pose that I tried to duplicate on his 2nd birthday. I didn't quite make it, as you'll see later.
Isn't he just too cute in his birthday hat??!
