Thanks everyone! She is such a little cutie and it is amazing how straight and strong her legs are for being so early! Gorgeous did good. Now if only I could talk some of my mares into getting ready LOL! Will hopefully get dry pics soon, supposed to be warmer for a few days at least so will try and take her outside for some better pics.

Congratulations from here too! That is one NICE filly! I hope the rest of our in foal made threads go as smoothly as Gorgeous and Penny have done.

Wow this mare was right on the money!! Think you posted the night before she foaled, and then I saw the photos the next morning on Facebook. How exciting!! Congratulations on this tiny filly

any new photos?!

Just wanted to update that my camera is now live, http://www.marestare.com/fcam.php?alias=maplehollow, also added the link to original post for easier access. Hoping to get new pics of Gorgeous's filly on sunday when it will be warmer. Just a bit of info on the girls currently on cam. ELady is on the left and while she isnt technically quite due yet she is on cam since she recently choked so been keeping an eye on her. Ebony is in the middle and is a maiden mare, she is 310 days today, no udder yet. Babe is on the right and most likely to go first, udder about half full, currently 309 days and foaled last year at 318 days and bred back to same stallion.

Just a fun fact too, all three of the foals of the mares currently on cam will be related. Babe, Ebony, and Magic (sire to ELadys foal) are all half siblings by same dam.

Here are just some quick cell phone pics we took in the barn today. Not the best but still better than wet pics LOL. Sorry for the blurry quality but had to try and brighten them as they were pretty dark.

 

How cute!!!!! I love that last one with her obviously prancing around!

I was checking out your cams this afternoon, usually view them at night.......are the 3 stalls outside?? It looks so nice and bright!!! All look well, ELady was taking a nap laying down, the other girls were doing the snoozing while standing thing!!

 

[Mousie96]

Love her!!!!!!!!!

 

[Maple Hollow Farm]

Thanks everyone and nope, stalls are in a fully enclosed barn. I do have lights above the stalls and there are two windows on each end of the barn too. I think the girls are loving being in and being pampered. They particularly have been liking their extra brushes and scratches.

 

Yes, all girls just nibbling their bedding looking for fallen particles, I guess. Everyone looks great!

 

[misty'smom]

Wow that is great that your barn is so bright! I just had electic put in my barn this past summer, tried a year without but this winter was so much nicer having lights!!!! Also had a ceiling fan put in which is great on those hot, humid Virginia summer days! When I planned my barn I had a window at each end and 2 on the back side with double dutch doors in the front but it still doesn't look as bright as yours does! Your girls look so happy and content in their stalls!! I can't wait to see their foals, I'm sure you are getting really excited!!You have many babies to look forward to, foals are just precious the first few days!!!!!!! I'll be watching, hope to see some little foals soon!!

 

[Maple Hollow Farm]

Yep the girls are still cleaning up their supper, the silly mares like to destroy their hay and so it kind of gets mixed up in the bedding, you would be surprised how much hay they have "hidden" but it keeps em occupied and out of trouble LOL! I am going CRAZY waiting for my foals to get here but at least I get to play with mom's for now...got some more pics of her today, she was SOOO independent when we took them out for excersise, she just ran all over the place and didnt care at all where Gorgeous was! She is very spunky and energetic, just hilarious to watch! I wanted to take her outside for better pics but sadly it is a muddy, melting mess out there so didnt want her getting all wet and catching a chill so just did indoor playtime in the arena.

congratulations on your mum's new filly Melinda! she is gorgeous! such a little cutie!!

can't wait to see your other new babies as they arrive!

 

GREAT pictures of this spunky little girl!

Did my foal clips on Babe and Ebony today while it was nice and warm. They enjoyed their grooming session, lips were going crazy as I scratched, brushed, and clipped LOL! Figured I would share their pretty baby bumps. Babe is carrying a lot smaller than she did last year but her udder is getting pretty decent size but not full yet. Ebony is starting to show even more but still no udder. Both are driving me crazy already
