Our first 2011 foal is here!

[CheyAut]

My part Arab mare, Calista, was bred to a champion halter, liberty and endurance SE Arab, JPJ Minstril Palo. Just after midnigt (sorry my h broke off and I sometimes miss the little knob under keys) she has a palomino colt. He is HUGE and I had to elp her out to pass his shoulders, but other than that, se is doing PERFECT with him, this is her first foal. e took a LONG time to figure out ow to nurse (he was sooooo close but due to being so big he couldn't figure out ow to balance himself and turn his ead/neck to latch on, though e sure tried!) so the vet tubed him, but gave him and Cali a clean bill of health, and e eventually figured it out

Name ideas are welcome, I have no idea what to name him yet! Will take a few posts to get all te pics in....

He is very nice. And you weren't kidding when you said he was big. LOL LOL How tall is the sire?? How tall do you expect him to mature?? He is a big boy!!!

Your mare is beautiful. I love the 3rd picture down in the first post of them. That is great.

Congratulations!!!!!

congrats on a safe delivery and healthy foal - he's handsome but the momma is quite the looker - beautiful mare!

 

[CheyAut]

Thank you everyone!

Calista is a very special girl to me

Palo, the daddy, is 15.3. I will have to measure him and do the leg measurement thing to see if I can make a guestimate and what he'll mature to!
