Douggie is almost out of his "awkward" phase (where he looks like a mangy flea-bitten mule). Only thing is, I have no idea what color he is now. I think somewhere between chestnut, liver chestnut, and gray. Maybe he'll be a roan for his first few years, and then turn gray (like his mom). The first picture is about a month ago, at peak ugliness. Now his gross foal fuzz is giving way to a nice silky, shiny big-boy coat (picture 2). Yesterday I buried my nose in his shoulder and took a big whiff, confirming that just like human babies, foals have no body odor. They just smell great.
