Foals # 2, 3 & 4 for Creta Hills

[cretahillsgal]

Iv'e had the last 3 foals born back to back to back so just now getting around to posting about them.

All the mares kept waking me up several times a night all weekend long so I was already exhausted when Image finally decided to foal around 3 am on Sunday night. A beautiful buckskin pinto colt that is almost a perfect match to my filly born 3 weeks ago. Creta Hills Spirits Wildfire

Tuesday night was up again most of the night. I think I got like 2 hours of sleep. Checked everyone before heading to work. When I got there I pulled up my cam and lo and behold Gem has foaled! So I rush back home to finish up with a dainty, TINY buckskin filly with socks. She measures only 17" tall with a 6" cannon from mid knee to coronet. Here she is pictured with her mom who is right around 30" tall. Creta Hills Spirits Blue Dahlia

After this filly was born, I also had another mare (outside mare) who foaled at noon!

So after these 2, I am REALLY needing some rest. I make sure the beepers are working on a couple of other mares who look close and go to bed around 1 am. I just couldn't watch any longer. At 3 am, Sophie wakes me up and presents me with a beautiful solid buckskin colt.

Now I am REALLY beat! I make it thru the day at work. Head home to get my chores done so I can go to bed. None of the other mares are looking anywhere close to foaling so I am hoping I can get a few nights rest.

I get home and my goat is clearly in labor. LOL Thankfully she gets down to business and had her little buckling and nurses great and I am able to get to bed at a decent time. Here he is...

And thats not all....

I get up this morning to find that one of my Himalayan rabbits has presented me with these...

been keeping up with you on FB and again I'll say Spirit has done you proud and certainly did his job with these beautiful buckskin foals! Lucky you - and obviously been some other busy boys there too with new bunnies and kittens! Very cool.

Congrats on all - you must be exhausted LOL

Wow Jules, I didn't know about your baby goat or the bunnies!

Congrats on all the babies!

Get some sleep girl!

OMG, I couldn't handle that much going on!! I have to say though, I think the little goat is just the cutest thing!!

I've got a soft spot for baby goats, LOL. Congrats on all the babies of all species!

Thanks everyone!

These are not the best pictures of the foals. I haven't had much time to take good pictures. And they are not unfolded at all yet. The 2 solid foals are super nice and refined.

Oh, and I had another litter of bunnies when I got home from work today.

Congrats I love the spirit babies.

 

[sundaymom]

Your Spirit babies are outstanding. Your place sounds so interesting and love all the spring babies.

 

[Blackwater Farm]

Lord have mercy girl!!! At least you had a beautiful end result to all that chaos! Yay for happy healthy babies!

 

[a mini dream come true]

All beautiful babies! Congrats on all healthy end result.

 

[SampleMM]

Wow, I totally love all your Spirit foals. You can be very proud.

 

[StarRidgeAcres]

So happy for you Jules!

And you know I love that tiny filly

I'm going to steal her!

But Jules, I have some concerns.... You post said new babies all by Spirit. I know he's very potent and all, but you really should keep him away from your goats and rabbits. He should just stick with the mares imo.
