3:59am here, she foaled around 1am but I missed it.
But got a shock when I went to check her and he was running around!

Congrats! Can't wait to see daylight pictures of him.
He took so long cause it takes awhile to perfect those lovely spots. [it would have taken even longer if they were gonna be appy spots, those little spots take even longer to paint just right.]

Think he's just a plain old Skewbald.. However he is perfect and a lot bigger than he looks in pictures. A very hefty little thing too!
Many many congratulations!! What a super - not so little - boy, well done Missy!!
Dont forget Missy's Ivermectin wormer and plenty of SMALL mushy feeds to help get her tired empty digestion working smoothly again, plus an hour or so out on some grass - weather permitting (take it slowly as you lead her out and Rory will soon catch on and follow her closely, be prepared for her to twist and turn to return to him if he doesn't follow at first - dont forget that he cant see well and needs her close to be able to follow her scent - much better to let her encourage him to follow her than to have other human help 'shoving' him along as this can confuse him)
Again many congratulations - keep those pictures coming!! Big hug for Missy!

Scared of doing something wrong already. Argh.
Just use common sense - Missy will control her baby for you, she has the experience! Just concentrate on her health and happiness and she will care for her boy. You will be fine!
Bet she's the star of the stables now, but remember visitors can look but not 'touch' - Rory belongs to Missy not to them.

Don't worry, nobody is allowed in the stable with them
Well done you! As long as baby is strong and healthy there is no need for 'outside' interference plus Missy will be naturally protective for the first week or so and other humans getting near her baby (apart from yourself) will stress her.
Hope you are feeling better yourself now?

Cute little foal. Congrats for that.
We are still waitind, 332 days now, 16 days longer than ever before with this mare. Maybe I´ll get my little foal soon too, but it´s nice too see someone elses baby horses too while waiting.

Congrats, he is a big little guy. In the daylight pics he looks more than a few hours old. Glad you got a nice, healthy little guy!
