Introducing our new arrival,
Camertons Waltzing Matilda
(or Matilda for short)
She was born on Friday at 11.45pm. After two weeks of saying tonights the night Friday night was finally the night.
Honey foaled no with no problems but I just had to help to get the shoulders out.
Within 10 minutes of being born Matilda was on her feet. I could not believe how strong she was, there was no ice dancing like foals normally do - she just stood up and walked around like it was no problem!
We helped her to get to the milk bar but once she worked out what it was for she made sure she filled her belly!
Honey is such a great mother - I am so proud of her.
Anyway just a few pictures of Matilda - taken when she would have about 11 or 12 hours old. (Sorry non of the birth as it all happened so quickly so forgot to pick up camera from the house)
And these were taken today
What colour do you think she will end up? Her dad was jet black and her mum is chestnut dun.
Hope you don't mind me posting about my bog standard shetland pony but I am so proud of both mum and foal that I just had to share!
