Erica just called and I missed it because I was out with the dogs!

However, she wanted to let us all know that her new foal is a colt by her stallion, Cross Country's Take My Breath Away. The foal looks to be silver buckskin with blue eyes and a snip!!!!

Erica's two for two this year with buckskin babies

HI EVERYONE,

JUST WANTED TO GIVE A LITTLE BREAK DOWN OF HOW THINGS HAPPENED !!!!!!!!!

I HAVE BEEN WATCHING THESE TWO MARES FOR A FEW DAYS NOW, AND KNEW THEY COULD BOTH HAVE THEIR BABIES ANY DAY. ERICA, WHO WORKS ABOUT 15 MINUTES AWAY AT THE COLLEGE, WAS OF COURSE, AT WORK. I HAVE A BEAUTY SHOP AT THE END OF OUR DRIVEWAY, AND WAS AT WORK.

I TOOK THE MONITOR WITH ME TO WORK AND COULD WATCH BOTH MARES ON AN EXTRA TV I HAVE AT WORK. ERICA WAS WATCHING AT WORK, VIA THE WEB CAM, SO WE STAYED IN TOUCH.

I HAD JUST FINISHED A PERM ON A LADY AND WAS GETTING READY TO BLOW DRY HER HAIR WHEN THE MARE STARTED REALLY ACTING STRANGE. BUT SHE WAS STANDING WITH HER TAIL UP AND YOU COULD SEE HER BELLY CONTRACTING UP AND DOWN. OF COURSE I CALLED ERICA, WHO WAS WATCHING, AND WE THOUGHT "IS SHE GOING TO STAND UP TO HAVE THIS BABY" :eek: WELL, I DID THE ONLY THING ANYONE OF US WOULD DO.......................... TOLD MY LADY I WOULD BE RIGHT BACK !!

THE MARE WENT DOWN ABOUT THAT TIME AND I COULD SEE THE BUBBLE. I TOOK OFF TO THE BARN WITH MY FATHER-IN-LAW COMING IN BEHIND ME. SHE HAD ALREADY HAD HIM OUT IN THE 30 SECONDS IT TOOK FOR ME TO GET THERE :aktion033:

HE SURE IS CUTE.

BUT WASNT THIS THING OF ME DELIVERING BABIES SUPPOSE TO STOP WHEN ERICA GOT OUT OF COLLEGE?????????????????????

IT WAS KINDOF FUNNY HOW IT ALL HAPPENED. MAYBE THE OTHER WILL HAVE HERS TONIGHT, WHILE I WATCH ERICA "FROM THE HOUSE" ON THE MONITOR

: :bgrin....... just teasing as long as they get delivered healthy and happy mare...it's all that matters.

You know that mare wanted to deliver on your foal watch anyways.

: They remember you from last year! CONGRATULATIONS!!!

Your a pretty handy mom :aktion033: .......not every mom can give a perm one minute and foal a mare out the next. :aktion033: Good going....keep up the good work Mrs. K :risa8:
 
Heck, I woulda just dragged that woman into the barn and handed her a blow-dryer... :bgrin

: You have a VERY special Mom, Erica... she reminds me so much of mine, my mom was always in the barn with the babies and just loved everyone of them...

Wow I wish the visit to my hairdresser was like that! How cool to watch a foal being born on screen whilst getting your hair done! Priceless :aktion033: :aktion033: :aktion033:

Hey Erica and Linda,

Congrats!! I cant wait to see pictures, When I was down there and saw Taker, even from a distance he was stunning. Congrats again, and happy foaling :bgrin
 
Ok.......I am uploading them now, will take a min though...
 
okey dokey....here are a few, had a horrible time getting my camera to work when I first got home, flash wouldn't work, then if it did it wouldn't focus and I was just :eek: fed up with it so I went to the option of taking a few with my phone (which of course the quality is just less than so-so), but then just a few minutes ago when I went to tuck in, camera worked so.....

Anyway here he is (Cross Country Take My Breath Away x Little Kings Heir to Glory), and he is so pretty, pictures do him no justice, got this TINY muzzle with a "kissing spot" on it (snip), beautiful head and jowl, he is lean, tall, leggy, necky.......think he might have to be on the show string, and I said I was showing NO weanlings this year.....

This is Takers first foal and I am really excitied about what is to come this year and even in the upcoming years :bgrin, this was also Heirs first foal, and I expect her to have many more beauties as well (for her new owner) who will be getting her after this foal is weaned and she is in foal to Big City for 08.

Here are a few, he was about 4.5 hours old in these

made him take off his blankets for a minute to snap a picture of his color now that he is dried off and he thought he was too cool, showing off, trotting and bucking around his stall...(think that is some of dad's attitude coming through VERY early on)

"look mom I can show to the wall"

eac22ef3.jpg


he nurses all the time...Heir is being such a good mom, she loves him, but isn't so overly protective of him either

eac22dbc.jpg


Here is what I was getting before when the camera decided it wasn't working.....but this picture (if you can squint and see it) shows how pretty his head is, almost "girly", and I love his teeny muzzle, and he already loves to give kisses

heres one from the cell phone....at just about 1.5 hrs old here, only going to put one of them as they were all darker
