It's a filly!!!!!

[prizmbluekigers]

Here is our second and final foal of the year, perhaps longer. She was born Saturday afternoon with no fuss or fanfare. I was with the mare about 2 hours before the birth and I knew she was close, but had not bagged up a lot. For a maiden mare she handled the whole thing herself. I got there in time to dry the baby a little and take pictures. No name yet, nothing jumped out for a stable name even. but she is healthy and mom is fine. My older veteran mare was very concerned about the new foal and added her opinion several times. These were taken at about 4 hours old.

Congrats! She's a leggy little thing! Who's the mom?

Carrots all around and congratulations Bobbe! She's very feminine and sweet, with really nice angles and conformation. Can't wait to see her at a week when she's all fluffed out. Her tail is very light for a dun, does she have a pinkish cast to her coat? I wonder if she will be grulla?

congratulations, I agree she is one leggy little lady who has a very feminine face, love the color, I know that might change a little or a lot, but I love her color. please keep pictures coming as she grows and changes.

How sweet! The long whorl and ear set say she will be a friendly and easy going little girl! Enjoy they are little for such a short time. Tell us more about the filly and her parents.

Thanks for the nice comments. Linda, you must be reading the same article I did about facial whorls and personalities. Both the new fillies have the extended whorl. I am posting a pic of Noni (half sister and aunt to the new filly)below. She is 5 wks old. Dianne thought from the first pics of Noni that I posted that she might be red dun. I still don't know what color either of them will be, but it is fun to watch, and I always wanted a grulla.
My stallion is a rich dun shade with red and light highlights ( the light ones are emerging as he ages) in his mane and tail and his dorsal is never black it is sort of a dark brick shade for most of the year. I think Noni is getting darker see pic, but we'll see. I tried to show her reddish dorsal.
