I love this story, @wrestlingdesires. Even though it has a note of sadness, and we lose poor Sagebrush (darn cougars!) it's so sweet and although her colt is orphaned, he has such a loving family to welcome him into the world and give him a wonderful life. I wanted to know what they decided to name him!

I have a few thoughts for you about dialogue. You always do such a nice job! Your stories are richly told and in part it is because of your skill at integrating dialog and action into the narrative, so that all three carry the story through beautifully.

That said, have you considered letting the action replace some of your dialogue tags?

For example, in this part of the story, it is only Georgia and Wes having a conversation, so we don't actually need to be told who is saying each of these things:

"Over there, in those bushes. I see something dark," Georgia said, pointing to a little willow thicket.

"Well well, it looks like I was wrong," Wes said, grinning from ear to ear.

"Oh, he's adorable! Jet black like his father. And he has Sagebrush's white splotches!" Georgia gushed, as she looked at the little colt, whose big eyes never left her.

"Where's Sagebrush?" she asked, after gazing at the new miracle for a few more seconds.

"I don't know, but she can't be far. Please stay with the colt while I look," Wes replied, frowning.

You could also consider switching the order of the action and the dialogue so that the action precedes the dialogue and you therefore don't need the tag. Like this:

Georgia pointed to a little willow thicket. "Over there, in those bushes. I see something dark."

I think it would make your writing a little stronger, and better integrate action with your dialogue, so that the dialogue tags don't become a weight at the end of each line of dialogue. For more on this, see our recent article, How to Write Dialogue in Fiction. Best wishes, and keep writing!
