Ravenscairn Selkie's colt foal arrived early in the morning on 25 May 2007. He is solid black and was up, running and nursing by the time we found him at 5:30 a.m. He is very quickly growing into a stunning looking colt. He has great presence.

I handled him all over on his first morning but did not touch him again until his dam brought him over to be 'introduced' in a sense, a month later. He was still shy about coming over until he was near 3 months when my cousin's daughter visited. She had him asking for attention within minutes of being in the pasture with him. I enjoyed watching Selkie use him for a head scratching post. She'd rub her forehead on his back and rump with no real purpose other than her own satisfaction.

Unless sold first, he will be heading to Medford in preparation for harness work at my cousin's home. They have a working pair of Belgians and are looking forward to working with a Fell too.

We have named him Douglas for a double connection. His dam was foaled in Scotland and Douglas is a Scottish name meaning 'black river' plus Douglas Fir is Oregon's state tree and a wood used often in construction for it's ability to carry heavy loads. He will be for sale.
