Loki

Welcome to the World, Loki!

Born on March 15 at 6:50 PM in a cozy foaling stall in the barn, Loki entered the world quietly but confidently. A colt with a delicate star marking his forehead, he currently wears a soft silver coat, which will darken into black as he grows. He already has a unique touch — one back hoof showing a mix of white and black — hinting at his individuality from the very first moment.

Sarah, his protective and aware mother, did exactly what we hoped she would do — she handled labor and delivery like an absolute rock star. Her delivery was smooth, calm, and completely natural. She delivered Loki and passed her placenta shortly afterward without any human assistance, just the way we like to see it.

Loki gave us an A+ effort right from the start. He tried and tried to get those long legs working, and after about an hour, Dr. Stacey gave him a little boost to stand for the first time. Just a few minutes of support was all he needed before he was getting up and down on his own like a pro — milestone reached.

Next up was the big one: nursing. Loki clearly understood the assignment — lots of rooting and enthusiastic sucking — but actually getting lined up with Sarah proved tricky for those brand-new legs and coordination. After giving him plenty of time to figure things out, Dr. Stacey made the important decision to milk Sarah and tube-feed Loki the colostrum he needed. This ensured he received those critical first antibodies while he continued practicing.

That rhythm — try, learn, support — carried on through the night… until around 3:00 AM, when everything finally clicked and Loki successfully latched on all on his own. And just like that, he was off to a strong start.

His story begins

The name “Loki” started that morning, Doc Stacey started tossing out name ideas. Earlier that morning we’d had a 2.1 earthquake so naturally the theme turned to all things earth-shaking

There were some laughs over names like Tremor, Richter, Poseidon, and Terramoto… but none of them quite fit—and let’s be honest, some of the nickname options were a little too on the nose (Terror ).

Then—Loki.

Though he will grow into his black coat, he’s currently wearing a soft silver shade — a fleeting newborn look that makes this moment even more special.

And it just clicked.

Dr. Stacey already had a feeling Sarah was about to deliver a black colt, and the name felt perfect from the moment it was said.

In Norse mythology, Loki is the trickster god, and it’s said that earthquakes are caused by his punishment. After his role in the death of Baldur, Loki was bound in a cave beneath a venomous snake. As the venom drips onto him, his writhing in pain shakes the earth itself.

(And honestly… the “dripping venom” part felt a little familiar considering how much milk Sarah was spraying before delivery Sunday )

Now, we’re hoping our Loki leans a little less into the chaos and mischief side of his name… but then again—what foal doesn’t?

Loki is the son of Sarah, a protective and deeply aware mare who has taken on her new role with pride, and Jackson, whose mischievous nature may have already made its way into his son.

Finding his feet

He is alert, steady, and curious, showing all the signs of keeping us all on our toes as he learns about the world.

Looking Ahead

Loki is doing well and continues to grow stronger each day under Sarah’s watchful eye. He remains close to mom, learning, sleeping and eating.

For now, Loki’s job is simple: grow, stay close to mom, and discover the world around him. His story is just beginning, and we’re so glad to share it with all of you!

Loki is NOT available for adoption.
