YAY Renee, I keep on checking on him he is so cute!!! nice QUICK easy delivery for you!!

good girl Fergie!!

Congrats again, the first thing I saw of him was that blaze what a cutie!!!

 

[anyssapark]

Thanks every one. It took him a while to work out the nursing on his own. I had to go out every hour and put him in the right spot, he wasnt even looking for the milkbar on Fergie! He was sucking everything except her. But the light switched on at about 4.30am and he found it himself and hasnt looked back

He is a real little cutie, and a love bug already. When i went in to feed Fergie, he whinnied and ran straight over to me. He was a little unsure at first, but i bent down and he came over for scratches. He already loves his neck being scratched. Awwww... i love foals!

Ill leave them in til it warms up a bit more outside, and then ill try them outside.

I got a few photos on my phone, but they didnt turn out real well, so ill get some with my camera when i let them out.

[Equuisize]

What a darling face!

Love those little boys!

Congratulations!

 

[cassie]

I see Fergie n baby are back inside

Hi baby!! how did he enjoy his first day?! have you thought of any names?

is he quite light for a chestnut?? will he stay chestnut do you think?

love watching them!!

lol he looks beggered poor little guy! bet he will have a nice long sleep soon! has he slept at all today? can't see him real close lol in the paddock

 

[anyssapark]

Oh yes, he's done plenty of sleeping still. If she was going to keep him too active so he could sleep i would have locked them back, but she calmed down before long and he had several little naps under the tree, and in the stable.

The lighter colour is just the foal shading. Typical for a chestnut. All the babies are born with a lighter coat. I do think he'll stay chestnut. There was a 50% possibility of grey, but normally grey foals dont get the foal shading and are born a really rich colour, with really dark hooves and grey around the eyes, and he has no sign so far. So i'd say he'll stay chestnut

He enjoyed it outside once Fergie stopped running around showing him off. It was only for about 10mins, but thats a long time for little new legs to be trying to keep up. He had a good sleep after that one! Then she was quite calm after that and they just explored around the place

I have a real ear fettish too!!

LOOOOVE tiny tippy ears.

Hopefully the little guy has them too. Bit hard to tell at the moment, but they are nice and small.

Warrior (his sire) also has beautiful, tippy ears, so hopefully he has a double up of that gene
