Storm surprised me this morning... She didn't look to be bagged up too much, no wax, nothing indicating that I was going to find her in labor this morning...
Thanks...
She made me late for work, not that I'm complaining....
I'm just glad everything went well, mommy and baby are doing well, and I got to watch... lol...
I know what you mean. When our filly was born I was just HAPPY it was alive. I was scared that something would go wrong. It's my first foal ever so I was understandably nervous. I didn't care what color/sex it was. Congrats!
Skittle! She's gorgeous! What a beautiful lil girl. I personally have a HUGE soft spot for bays, I think they are superb. Great big congrats to you and Storm! What are you going to name her?
I haven't had time to think about names, between work yesterday and spending half the day today getting some more hay, I've barely spent any time with her... But she has been touched all over and hopefully soon will be balanced well enough that she quits trying to fall over scratching her ear (and its so cute watching her) that I'll be able to start picking up her feet...
I'm sure she is going to be a great experience... I had no intention of ever having a foal on my property, but I couldn't turn down a good free horse just cause she was in foal...
thunderhooves - keep the ideas coming, but I'm trying to get away from "s" names.... so far I've got 2 dogs, Snoopy and Spooky, a snake, Spot, and 2 horses, Sandy and Storm... I'm having trouble keeping everyone straight lol....
That could really work. Her show name could be Rainstorm but you could call her Rainy for short! There's a famous mustang around here named Hail Yeah, you could call her Hail Storm, and Hailey for short.
Hail Storm... I like that... The girl that gave me Storm is coming up tomorrow to see the baby and she said she's going to help me with names... I'll let you all know what we decide on...
I'm leaning toward calling her Twister cause every morning when I go out to feed it looks like a tornado has hit my fencing... Its a good thing it gives easy... lol....
Nittany - That'd be a great idea if there was any chance of her being in a show ring... Last time I checked, a Quarter Horse x Standardbred/Arabian didn't stand much of a chance as a big name show horse... She's just going to be a trail buddy for me...
