Amber had her foalie

[Bright_Spark]

At about 10.30pm last night Amber had a handsome chestnut colt. I had a call at about 11.40 last night,got to the yard about 12 and left 11 this morning. Safe to say I am shattered now LOL.

Mum and baby are doing fine. We had the vet out just to check him as he was taking a while to stand and drink, but he got the hang of it. The vet commented on what a great mum Amber was.

Deciding between Sol (Spanish for sun) and Diego for a name at the moment.

Shall put a pic here for now. Once I get my other pics uploaded I will put them in the Photo Gallery.

[CastleMouse]

Congrats!

 

[Forget_Me_Not]

[teapot]

awwwwwwww he's gorge

 

[Happytohack]

He's so sweet - well done Amber

 

[Weezy]

Awwwwwww thats fantastic news

Why the Spanish route with the names - is there Spanish blood involved?

 

[Patches]

Awww lovely. Congratulations. I like Sol. Can't warm to Diego as I always think of Maradona.

Must say, what gorgeous straw you have! (farmer's wife...I sadly notice these things!)

 

[LauraBR]

Congratulations!!!! So cute!!!!!!!

 

[WeeBrown]

He's lovely, can't wait for more pics. I like both names.

 

[Bright_Spark]

Thanks everyone

I think he is going to be a biggun. It always amazes me how foals can fit inside their mums- it just doesnt look possible when you see them. Sorry if that doesnt make sense-only had about an hours kip.

Weezy, his sire is a grey andalusian (Brujo), hence the Spanish names.

awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww can i have him ? Sol i like it

 

[Weezy]

Oh fantastic stuff, as you know I am rather a fan of them LOL!!! Am pretty sure I know of Brujo and if I am thinking of the correct horse then he is absolutely STUNNING!

I don't think Diego would do him justice - Sol is much nicer

 

[TheresaW]

Congratulations, what a handsome boy.

 

[Irishcobs]

Congrats. Bet both you and Amber are really proud of him, he is stunning.

 

[milliepup]

Gorgeous- Def Sol i really like it, think it suits him!

 

[siennamum]

how fabulous and what a relief to have him here safe and sound.

 

[Bright_Spark]

Thanks again everyone. Taking me a bit of time to catchup on thread as so tired! Not as tired as Amber probably is though.

I think he has 4 white socks too and might possibley turn grey as dad was grey.

 

[Chambon]

Congratulations! The first forum foalie of the year! (and what a stunner!)

Glad to hear that all went well.
