and it came on JUNE 3rd - Just like I predicted... I WON!!!
Well Merry Mare won - she got that thing delivered!!!
if you came for the quilts - come back Friday - sorry - I was so ecstatic yesterday I am not sure I know what happened!
We moved her last week to the pasture right by the house - so every morning I was up early with my Binoculars to see if there was a baby... and there wasn't
Tuesday Morning I got up early and went out to the window - and there was a little something!!!! I went back and got K and said - We have a baby!!! and we headed out all quiet like.
I think he was just born - like maybe 10 minutes before, so we kind of stayed away so as not to disturb them. We did have another Mare in the pasture so we took her out.
Daisy is already in protect mode, but she is being so good and staying right by me so as not to disturb the baby.
My brother in law ( THE horse man!! ( for real) ) suggested we kind of let them bond for 24 hours and just keep an eye on things - so we did - but I really really really really really want to pet him.... just so you know. and patience? It wasn't given to me in my DNA....
Here's the girls - Daisy - interested - Bella - she'd rather chase a stick haha
Now I will get back to quilts... maybe - did I tell you he is SOOOOO cute!!!
BTW - this is Reno's full brother... have I shown you my handsome Reno lately? 😍😍
if i have just say Ohh and Awwww - it will get you on my good side haha!!
Find me at all these places:
Ohhh and awwww, happy day!! I hope Mom and Baby are doing well. And Reno is a handsome fellow. Congratulations :)

ReplyDeleteCongratulations! How adorable. I love the little striped tail.
ReplyDeleteIt's hard to believe he was inside Merry Mare---he's so big! Do they weigh colts? Probably not.

ReplyDeleteIt seems like Reno's and baby's coloring are quite similar. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful surprise for you! I'm glad the birth process went well. Foals have the softest coats. . you will be petting both Mom and the baby soon!
ReplyDeleteThis is sooo exciting. He's so tall, and big, and gorgeous. Is that breed normally so tall?
ReplyDeleteOh wow, what an exciting moment! 🎉 A brand-new baby, right on schedule—Merry Mare did an amazing job! I love the anticipation leading up to it, and I can totally feel your excitement through every word. He’s going to be absolutely adorable, and I don’t blame you one bit for wanting to pet him already. Enjoy every precious moment with the little one! 🐴
