MY FIRST FOAL!!!!

[CheyAut]

I work graveyard, and LOVE having my cam online (marestare is awesome!) so I can watch while I work...

I notice my mare Cocoa acting funny... then down and "bouncing." I call hubby and wake him up, tell him to get out there Cocoa is foaling! And I rush home. Hubby was nervous, but I talked him through it, and a baby was born!!!!

Wasn't a red bag, but the placenta came out right after the baby, and I ended up having to tear the umbilical cord!

It's a FILLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Either chestnut or red dun pinto. Cocoa did NOT want us anywhere near her precious girl, so pretty much after Cocoa got up she chased us away. So I had to watch from outside the stall.

Name ideas are welcome! Mom is HRK Kates Chocolat Creme de Coco, and dad is Late Attraction by Cochise.

Here are photos!

When it comes to pintos, chestnuts are my fave... and she has the perfect amount of white for me

I knew this baby would be a keeper way before baby was concieved, so I was THRILLED that she is JUST what I wanted!!!!

Thanks everyone!!!

I tried to get more photos today, but didn't get many. Cocoa puts herself between me and the filly still. I'm sure she'll settle down sooner or later, but in the meantime, I WANNA PLAY WITH BABY!!!!

But I'd rather her be overprotective than unconcerned with her filly, so I guess I can be patient!
