Here is our first 2008 foal below we have named Decker.  He is a very sweet colt and a dark seal brown once his foal coat sheds out. 

Some of the photos below or on his other page if you click the link below.  I am using a flash if the shadows were too harsh so Decker looks lighter then he actually is in person.  He is shedding out from his foal coat to be very dark now as you can see some from more of his recent photos.

Decker may be gaited like his mom.  We have seen him gait as well as trot so time will tell which he is down the road.  He is still deciding if he is gaited or not.

He was born on June 12 at 5:30 a.m. and has been a perfectly mellow baby since the day he was born and imprinted.

He is already halter broke, stands quietly at hitching post, touch anywhere, loads and hauls, trims like a gentleman, pick up all four feet, stands for fly spray and sacking out, wears a towel over his eyes and on his back, etc.  This one loves people and any attention.  He enjoys learning new things so we are spending a lot of time as we do with our foals to give him a great foundation to be a future show and breeding horse with impeccable ground manners.

Decker will mature 15 or 15.1 and around 1100 or more pounds.  This will be a beefy boy when he is done growing at age four to seven.  Morgans are late bloomers, but they also live many years too.

He went to his first horse show at three months old in September 2008 at our fair and he won first in Morgan Weanling Colts and Grand Champion Morgan Stallion.  That was his first trailer ride and second trailer ride home, first stalled off the farm for three days, first time being mauled by everyone he did not know and first class.  Decker was a perfect gentleman and represented the breed well with his manners and extremely sweet personality.

Decker has been weaned already so can go to his new home at any time.  I normally do not wean foals this early, but he was pounding on his dam too much and she was starting to get too rough with him.  So for their safety and because he was already eating hay and grain and drinking water just fine I decided to wean him.  It was the right choice.  But he has not been anything, but mellow and kind since before he was born so not sure why he was insisting on getting all stud boy with his dam.  Dehla, his dam, breathed a sigh of relief too when we weaned him also.  Now he can be our toy instead of her headache.

Decker got his name because within the first hour of his birth Dehla was swishing away flies and hit him in the head with her tail.  He went flying and fell over on his newborn legs after she decked him.  We like our barn names to reflect personalities here so decker he became and his fancy register name came later.  We think it fits him well.

Do come meet this cutie in person.  Decker will not disappoint anyone with his halter confromation and sweet personality.
