My farrier was scheduled to come and trim horses on Monday. East Acres Stary Night didn't foal Sunday night as planned
but she did start her normal 'foal pacing' around 8:30 Monday morning. With her, the pacing can go on for hours.
My farrier arrived around 11:30 am and we proceeded to start trimming horses. I moved Stary Night into the grassy paddock in front of the pens where we were working so I could keep an eye on her. I figured with all the activity she would hold off until night.
Cammie came out to help and we were working in one of the middle pens when my farrier matter of factly says 'that mares water just broke'. I looked and couldn't believe it! Yep, Stary Night is standing out there with fluid dripping. I said 'excuse me, I need to go take care of this'. Told my daughter to help the farrier and I took Stary Night to the barn and put her in her stall where she got busy and delivered this gorgeous splashed white overo colt!
Now the colt is supposed to be by Redrock Magic Maker, but he looks so much like Harts Tip Top Flash, I'm having him tested so I will know for sure. Maybe some hanky panky going on last year that I missed!
OH! So for now his name is Whosyer (Whos Your Daddy).
