We woke up to an Oscar baby. My mare, Hope, surprised me this morning with her new filly, by St. Averil. I think she was born about 4 or 5 AM, was up and trying to nurse by 6AM. Back down asleep by 7AM! New foals are so wonderful. Everything seems to be fine, mother and daughter doing great.
Chessie, my sick mare was very interested, watching from across the aisle. She nickered and limped outside, to keep her own mom, Goldie, company until she foals. Goldie is due in about 3 weeks, tho' she seems uncomfortable and may go sooner. You never know!!
SO CUTE!!!!!! <3
