[Eagle]

Is HE in a pink blankie?? Such a cute little boy with a pretty star!!

LOL I might have to send Amanda one of my blue blankies

Do I see a star?

 

[weerunner]

I had a blue blanket all llined up but it got wet and I didn't want to put a wet blanket on him. The one he has is red, a nice generic colour.

Here are some wet pics, will post dry ones later on in the day.

Am uploading the foaling video and will post when it is done.

ah Amanda he is adorable! You know we are only kidding about his pj's lol

Thanks for posting pics

 

[weerunner]

Ok, so the little guy's name is Solomon and here is the video of his birth. It was a quicky, that's for sure. She needed no real help once the feet found their way out.

 

[Eagle]

Thanks for sharing Amanda, the miracles of nature are amazing and I just love to see a natural birth done with such ease. (I bet you and Marcella do too)

I also loved your soft voice encouraging her

 

[weerunner]

thanks guys. The little one has not figured out laying down yet and Marcella is pleased as punch to stay laying down, but I'm sure they'll sort that all out over the day today.

Congrats! What a cutie. Can't wait to see more pics when he is dry.

Does this mean you can get a little sleep before the next one is due?

Cam is playing up

I saw that Marcella is worn out poor girl, and I should think so too after having us all glued for nights on end

 

[atotton]

Congrats again he is handsome!!

 

[weerunner]

Marcella seems to have had enough naps now, and is standing quietly. She's had a good brushing of her body and tail and boy does she look in good shape now. Not too thin, just perfect. Here is an almost dry pic of the new little man. He looks silver black to me, what do you all think. Marcellas last foal seems to be a silver bay appy, so she's got silver in her or the stallions do. (Frankie last year, and his son Taylor this year).

Also, Marcella still does not have white milk, it is stil the super syrupy, thick opaque stuff. My instinct says this is ok, her milk is just taking it's time, but please correct me if I'm wrong. I'll check on it again later today.

 

[Eagle]

Yes I think it is fine. He is a gorgeous colour Amanda you must be over the moon

 

[weerunner]

Very pleased, this is a very nice way for my stallion to start his breeding career. I'm already working on his next crop of foals for next year

 

[blazingstarranch]

Wow he is a gorgeous color, you can't go wrong with a silver! Looks like he's finally starting to find his legs too. So happy for you and for mama, I bet she's glad to get that over with lol.

O, man, I missed it too. I was even on this board yesterday - but was posting myself & reading other posts. I haven't mastered pulling up each of the cams yet from Marestare to watch.

What a nice looking colt! Glad it went well and everyone's ok.
