Born yesterday 5.20pm midi colt he's is just adorable. Dad is a piebald mum black, I was surprised by his colour anyone know if he's likely to go darker/ piebald.



 
Oh my word he is scrummy. Congratulations magicmadge. Do you have s name for him ?

Gorgeous foals Sallyf , you must be very proud x
 
What a wee cutie!! What's his breeding? I'm intrigued by the light eyelashes. The first pic leads me to think bay and white, but you probably won't be sure until he de-fluffs. I had a bay and white filly de-fluff to blue roan and white (Mum was cream dun and dad was registered as piebald but in fact was a roan when you looked closely). Congrats! He's adorable!
 
Serious foal envy happening here! Humphrey looks so cute, I would be tempted to take him home and cuddle him all night :)

Ooh yuck at you pair. I loathe cows milk so whilst I am not squeamish I would draw the line at tasting my mares milk!!!

It's a very good way to determine if the colostrum has come so you can get some for the freezer lol must think ahead in these situations!

Oh yes, totally understand. But the days of being forced to drink warm creamy topped full fat milk at infant school has left me scarred!!! ;)

I'm so with you on that. I remember that vile taste like it was yesterday, they always left the milk next to the radiators. We had to drink it, yuk.
 
Lots of big changes with Jakki. She's withdrawn to the stable and only coming out the front courtyard to eat. Bag very nearly full and huge change in just two days. I took a little milk at lunch and it's half pale amber and half milky white but sweet tasting. Nipples still pointing in but not sure I can take much notice of that. Every other mare I've ever known has had outward facing nipples way before having a bag this full. Her milk is full right down her belly, udders very tight and warm. Slightly darker inside vulva.

Come on Jakki...over the weekend please.
