Suprise Foalie Waiting This Morning!!

[kimberleigh]

I like that name, it's unusual but not freaky!

Are you sure dad is Friesan, you said in the other post that a Friesan was in with her in Sept, but that foal would have been conceived mid July - early August.

Thanks

Yep, there was no other stallion on the property or in the vicinity!

I think this little girly is early in any case, but I expect the previous owners weren't 100% on dates as I have relied upon them to find out info - they owned her when her previous foal was born but didn't even realise until he was 4 days old that she had even had him

Lovely baby, esp the dishy face!

Just a note of caution that if babies can injure themselves they invariably will, so you may want to fence off the horsebox and caravan before baby goes exploring!

Thanks yes that whole area is fenced off usually but little madam Freisa is a sod for running straight through the tape so I've removed it for the time being as would hate for Freisa to go through and Niabi to follow her and get caught up!

What a beautiful surprise and I love the name too. Congratulations.

 

[Crugeran Celt]

Beautiful foal and a lovely name, mum looks so relaxed about it all and your little boy must be delighted to be the proud 'owner' of the new arrival.

 

[Asha]

Congratulations on your new arrival, she really is a stunner. Its hard to believe a baby that size can have come out of Freisa.

Love the photo of your son with them, he will have some wonderful memories

Im another one who would love to see more photos as she grows

Best wishes

Huge congratulations, she was rather big!!!!
Foal is going to be loads bigger than her dam, keep them safe and observe loads to make sure all is right.

 

[kimberleigh]

Thanks everyone for all the lovely replies - I feel like a proud Granny haha!!

She is a big girl, and bloody strong already; think she may keep me on my toes

I'm spending every spare minute just sitting around with them. After work today, before I had to pick the little one up from school, I took a book and an upturned bucket and sat in the field with them. It is fascinating to watch Niabi, she moves beautifully already and spends much of her time zooming round her mummy in big circles before laying down and falling asleep in the blink of an eye!
She was very interested in my book and had a good old explore of it with her mouth, until my pages were all full of baby spit haha, so she then started of giving me a good once over until getting bored and falling asleep again!

Here are some more pics...the first 2 taken by my other half (more to come of these but he has yet to upload them, grr does he not realise I needed them done immediately lol)

A lovely deep clean bed of straw a few inches behind her and she chooses to lie down on the hard floor!!

Mummy and baby

Sleeping in the correct area at last

And in her day-glo rug so I can spot her right away!

[Meowy Catkin]

Just beautiful.

 

[stencilface]

Beautiful!

Love the day glo rug, is it a dogs one?' lol

 

[kimberleigh]

Hehe yep it's a doggy coat!

 

[kimberleigh]

These were taken of Niabi at 1 day old, courtesy of my wonderful other half

And 2 of her within the past few days, taken by me so not as nice lol

With her very best friend, my son Blake

Exploring mummy's bucket

Sorry for pic overload, I'm rapt with her as you can probably tell!

[Mega]

Ahhh she is so goregous my little girl would die for her pony to give us a bogof, unlikely as she's 22 and no where near a stallion, thank goodness! Congratultions, I for one love the picture overload.

 

[teacups]

Beautiful photos! Thank you so much

She is gorgeous - I like the name, too.
Mum gorgeous too, of course - the one of Niabi drinking and her looking round is very nice of her

 

[mightymammoth]

what a striking and confident little pair they are, an absolute credit to you

 

[MillionDollar]

She is soooooooooooooooo cute! I reckon she's going to be (and is!) a stunner

Please keep updating with lots of pics

 

[gadetra]

Aww she's so cute. And very correct-she's a good'un!
She has a lovely eye

 

[Cobiau Cymreig Wyllt]

Gorgeous pix, love the one of foalie and your son together!

 

[kimberleigh]

Thanks everyone

She is a sweetheart and so confident - she is happy to be handled all over and will pick up each foot for a second or so at a time. My little boy does her rugs by himself now and she responds better for him than anyone else!!
Her little teeth are just coming through and she is showing a keen interest in the grass and haylage
She allows the headcollar to be put on and taken off but she isn't keen on being led yet hehe

She has well and truly outgrown it now - seems almost indecent to see her in such a miniskirt at her age lol

Thanks for the compliments on them
Lenny, the D, eats like a horse if you wll excuse the pun - but it's great to get some nice feedback on him, as it's hard to tell how they are looking when you see them everyday

[kimberleigh]
