My one and only foal of the year arrived this morning between 6 and 7am. A petite 18" silver bay filly with a HUGE star (surprised me, as her dam only has a couple white wisps on her forehead.) Momma mare went 351 days but the birth was quick and easy.
I have to admit I get very emotional about my homebreds. This is a third generation foal out of two horses I held as foals, and the first from Al (the sire) who is 15 this year. We lost his sire two years ago, and his big brother owned by another forum member went over the bridge last year, so I figured it was now or never. I actually came to the forum about this breeding last year--so it's you guys' baby too! I am crying as I type this and have been crying off and on all morning. I'm such a horse dork.
I would like to thank zoey829 for sending the filly fairy our way--as promised she was back on the road this morning!
EDITED to add a couple quick photos. She's only a few hours old and is still learning how to use everything but of course is trying hardest to muster the energy to kick me.
