Another "she's here" post!

Buckskin filly foal born at 1 am last night. Quick and textbook delivery. Stud did a great job at delivery and I was able to be there for the end as well. All milestones quickly reached. IgG test tonight. Mare is Royaldik/Primitive Proposal. Sire is Killour Star (a Barrowby Connemara). Early days but all seems well and so glad not to have to be on foaling standby anymore. Never again!

Well done! It's so stressful…. I always say never again then forget the misery a year or so later and get broody.
Is she a keeper?

 

[Marigold4]

Yes, I think I will keep her at least till 4. I have mare's previous foal so it will be lovely to have a little family group! So, so happy my mare is OK. Early days though.

Congratulations! I love the first pics of the mare looking serene and relieved, and the leggy foal wondering where in the world they are
You can catch up on relieving sleep now, and look forward to months of foal fun!

Ahhh, congratulations. Look forward to seeing more photos. Esspecially as my ISH mare by Royaldik will be scanned this week, weve also used a connie. I think itsa great mix

Tulira Darog , got to meet him at the stallion show . Just loved his attitude. Plus the owner showed me photos of him giving bareback rides to children . That did it for me

 

[SashaBabe]

She's lovely, unfortunately one photo is not enough!

I do feel incredibly lucky. So many things can go wrong during foaling - but didn't. The mare didn't even break a sweat. Fingers crossed they stay well.

I went to see TD and strongly considered him but in the end didn't want a grey

I thought the same , and had weirdly enough (initially) chosen the same sire as you . But then met TD and the fact he’s called Jimmy made me rethink I’ve got 3 greys so whats one more

Lovely baby, but one pic is no where near enough pictures

Omg I have said for years that if I lost all common sense and put my mare in foal it would be to Tulira Darog! So jealous you got to meet him in person he looks like an absolute dream.

 

[ownedbyaconnie]

We need more pics Marigold! (or even a video if you're feeling extra generous). Congratulations xx

 

[Red-1]

We need 1 day old photos now. Gorgeous pair.

 

[Marigold4]

Passed well foal check with flying colours. Phew! So pleased with how well mare is looking. sadly can't upload other photos as files apparently too big and I'm too tired to work that out

 

[Marigold4]

[Snow Falcon]

You'll have plenty of time to take pics now you're not checking every few hrs!

That is a very bay looking foal are you absolutely certain shes buckskin?

 

[Marigold4]

Yes, we think so. She has a dorsal stripe. Happy with bay though as well.
