I am absolutely gutted, I last checked minutes before your 'we have a leg out' post,
And haven't been able to check until now,
But wow, what a little beauty you have (another)
Well done Mary!

 

[Fools Motto]

I saw foaly had arrived first thing, but in the moment didn't post . So, congratulations on the safe arrival of the adorable Mayflower. Well done Mary and JJS.

Oh she's scrummy!

We need more pictures. LOTS more pictures.

 

[fabbydo]

Simply brilliant.
Happy things do happen in this world but sometimes get lost in all the bad stuff.
JJS - I officially award you 'Best Thread Ever', with Mary and Mayflower sharing the 'Best Supporting Actress' award.

So a slightly more detailed account for all of Mary and Mayflower's many admirers.

The vet that we had come out today is incredibly well-respected (arguably one of the best in the country) and has been breeding himself for over 20 years, so when he tells you that you've got "a truly cracking foal", you believe him! He was amazed by how straight and strong little Mayflower is, saying that they don't come like her very often. He was especially surprised because of how large she is, particularly coming out of a 14.2hh. She already has to do this weird almost-crouch to drink because she's so tall!

He said that Mary also looks fantastic, so all is good with my two girls. I was slightly worried because I hadn't seen her poo since foaling, but he assured me that was entirely normal, and that one of his own mares always goes at least 18 hours without doing one after giving birth.

Here are some more pictures for you all (excuse the terrible quality) to reward you for reading the essay above!

[ElleSkywalker]

Ears! And tiny beard! Oh so CUTE!

Loving Marys mane all crinkly from the plaits, bit like the equine equivalent of a 'Hello' mag style make over of new mum and baby looking far to tidy and neat to have just given birth!

Can see the headline now 'Surprise baby joy for Mary' and 'Inside her sumptious stable, introducing baby Mayflower and Mary reveals all about her night of passion with Welsh stud'

[suffolkmare]

Lovely photos, and Mayflower really is a strapping lass! Mary looks to be a very calm and natural mother

 

[Ladyinred]

OMG those EARS!!! Want want want. She is adorable.

 

[_GG_]

They are both just beautiful and yes...those ears!!! Amazing

 

[sky1000]

How wonderful. They both have such lovely faces and gentle eyes.

 

[Peregrine Falcon]

Oh dear, be prepared for your house to become a tip and people wondering if you still exist! You'll be too busy foal watching to bother with anything else!!!!

The pics of them together are gorgeous. She's a pretty girl, just like her mum.

 

[SatansLittleHelper]

So....those ears....maybe she is a mule after all
She's absolutely gorgeous bless her and Mary looks totally chilled out xx
Well done JJS, You survived !!

 

[Equi]

She was always going to be fabulous coming from Mary!

Now the big qu, any further ideas on what dad could be? Doesn't matter TOO much, but put it this way, you won't need to buy a new horse any time soon!

 

[Ormsweird]

Are you sure Mary didn't sneak off for a night of passion with a Clydie stallion at some point?

She's fab! Love the fluff!

 

[Sandstone1]

That's a beautiful foal. Do you think the Welsh sec d was the father. Could a palomino and a coloured mare produce a bay foal? I've no idea on the scientific genetics side of it but I'm sure someone on here does.
Whatever Dad is Mary has produced a little beauty.
