Officially due May 25, but 7 of her foals she went on the two week early mark and last year went three weeks early....Monday was her three week date. She was super antsy last night, pawing, pacing and rolling. This morning she wanted to go out, so I let her (even though she had milk on her back legs), but in ten mintues time she wanted back in. Let her in and she marched right into Sychas' stall which we were cleaning and began rolling around. We hurried and go the stall cleaned and rebedded. She then rolled around and got up and down for the next 30 mintues and quit.
She is now standing in the stall, contently munching hay while we all wait for this foal!!

Yesterday evening, Chilli came in with her udders dripping like a faucet and even streaming at times. We knew she could not hold off any longer!!! Close to 9pm, she foaled out this HUGE filly (of course!). This filly is already bigger than Sychas filly (who is very large) and she is not even unfolded yet. She has Desis' head, like all his foals, and was up and mobile right away. Surprisingly super agile and balanced for her size. When she finally laid back down (2 hours later...), she just sat back on her hocks, folded her legs up into her belly (while she was in the air still) and gracefully put her knees on the ground and laid down. Never seen that before! She looked like she did a little levade! First attempt at getting those legs working: When she finally stood up, she just launched herself into the air and came down with all four legs spread wayyyyy out, it was too funny! Heres' one to give you an idea of her size, Chilli is 15'2: |

Thank God that Chilli delivered that huge filly. I was afraid that she had twins she was so big! She looks to be 2 or 3 days old already. Another winner Michelle. Some beautiful babies indeed.

Wow Michelle! I think this girl is going to be my favorite this year. That neck and shoulder are wonderful. Chili and Desi did a great job, how cool for you to have her.
