At 9.00pm last night, Galaxie gave birth to a chestnut colt by Showmaker!
After keeping Gemma and Dave at Touchwood up for three nights being very restless, she gave them very little warning before popping him out.
He is a big boy, and was a little slow to begin with (a typical man!) but soon realised how hungry he was.
Gally is a fantastic mother, letting us go in and help get the not-so-little man to his feet etc. I am so thrilled with him, I can't stop smiling! She was a bit shell-shocked post birth (I'm not surprised judging his size - no idea where she put him!) so Dave put the heatlamp on and she proceeded to bask under the light, like she was on holiday
Yesterday was chief midwife Dave's birthday, hence foalie's name!
Dave, his namesake and proud Mum Galaxie
