What Lindsey Says: "What an exciting time to have our first foal at PHH. Sola is such an adorable little girl. I am very excited to play with her and watch her grow up.”
Information:

Sola was born April 1st, 2014 at PHH. She was our very first foal and it was so much excitment to go out for morning check and realize we had just missed her birth!

It was a long and very cold winter, the week before her birthday we had temperatures dipping to -20 degrees and it would have been really bad for her to be born then. Luckily she waited for days that were above 0 to come into the new world.

We waited a few days before naming her and got a lot of input from Facebook. We decided to name her Sola because it means 'alone' and 'sun' which is pretty fitting because she was alone at birth, and also waited for the sun to come out.

She had a vet visit the first day she was born and was given a great bill of health from the vet - she commented at what excellent bone structurce and strength she had.

She was so much fun to watch in the paddock.

She started to turn grey at a young age and now is a nice dark grey colour. She will continue fading in colour until she goes white like her grand sire one day.

As we have come to learn more about her, we know she is a calm and thinking type of horse. She is so poised and strong. Everything she is unsure about she stops, stands, and thinks about it before deciding to move. When she moves it's usually calm and direct movements. She seems to have a beautiful mind and is also just beautiful to look at.

She is incredibly well mannered for the farrier and vet, and she is learning the Parelli games very easily - she is just so calm and thoughtful. She is polite and loves people, but isn't pushing into your space.

For summer of 2015 we moved Sola and Symba offsite to a beautiful paddock with grass, trees, and hills so they could grow up with some space. We brought Lumen and Rose to be baby sit them at the new summer vacation paddock. Check the video from their first day of play: https://youtu.be/Ep5K5UFE9Wg
