Scary start for this little man . . . red bag delivery (just like our Harry Houdini), but both mom & son are doing well. Since we named Harry because of his narrow escape, this one's owners did the same, meet . . . Merlin (barn name: MoJo).

I guess Taz produces real little fighters. I'm happy mom and baby are doing fine.

You're right about the extra fence boards. Apparently he jumped the salt block in his stall within a couple of hours of birth, and water buckets first day turned out (Connie, you can relate having Fritz!).

Thanks, Joe. Credit actually goes to Connie West (WWF), because she bred this boy. Current owners - Scott & Leslie Merchant - bought mare in foal, intending to have her approved by the American Holsteiner Assoc. (they are HOL breeders).
However, they were so impressed with MoJo, they decided to repeat the breeding & his full sibling (they're hoping for a filly) is due in about 3 wks.
The conversion from other breeds to TK enthusiasts continues . . . one-by-one!

Love how well Taz and the TB matched here. Wonderful mare, remember her well from Ohio (though in much distress, poor thing). I'll keep my fingers crossed for a filly this time - although there's little we can do about that now  Don't forget the photos when SHE's here!!

Wow - 16 hand yearling - can I have some of that water???
He is a handsome one - but ALL of Taz's babies are the bomb!

Would love to see the photos of your 1/4 TB. What are the complete bloodlines of Derby (perhaps there's other shared lineage - either on the TK or TB side)?
To me, he looks a great deal like Harry Houdini @ the same age (everyone thought Harry was TB, so there's definitely a "look" attributable to more 'blood').
