Congrats on a gorgeous baby. I vote BAY. Check the pedigree, there may be a taller ancestor back in the pedigree (probably is) Remember many minis were bred down from 40+ inch Shetlands. Mom deserves some treats today. Congrats again.
 
She is beautiful, no matter how big she is!

Congratulations on a healthy foal!! Love the color - give me a black or a bay any day!!!

As for the giant-ness, some mares seem to like to bake a bit longer! We had a mare here in the past that her babies always were born and they looked like a week or two old compared to the 'normal' foal look. It is a bit of a surprise but once you get use to it, it's actually nice. They're just very robust! LOL!!

As for height looking at those legs I'd guesstimate she's going to be about mom's height.

OH MY...she's gorgeous!!! Hard to say how big or small she will be. We've had two biggies born here, and both from AMHA lines/background only...so where that came from...who's to know.

One, a 23.5" filly, out of a mare we'd bought bred, stopped growing at around 9 months, and finished under 33". The other, a 24.5" colt, by our stallion, is now on his way to being my new driving gelding, and (thankfully) finished at 37.75" !! Good thing that before he was born, I had the foresight to double register sire and dam with the AMHR.

I cannot wait to see pictures of her in another few weeks, just to see how she blossoms.
