Dolly is not my idea of the perfect broodmare.  She is stand-offish and extremely
protective of her foals for the first couple of weeks, which makes imprinting
impossible.  I have built a tenuous relationship with her, but she prefers my husband's
attention.  She does have gorgeous babies with nice solid builds and good minds that
come quickly to being handled once she relaxes enough to let us at them.  Though we
have had two foals from her,because of  the difficulties we have imprinting her foals,
we've chosen to use her instead of breed her.  She is my husband's favorite mare so
this was what he'd wanted all along!
