Thank you we were worried about doing wrong by both of them but they seem to be blossoming :)

Oh i know she is going to be a really ugly duckling when she meets the awkward stages with her beard, pointy ears, huge high bottom and donkey ears :cool::D:o

Not to mention when she starts to lose all that foal-fluff for a "real" coat!! :p None of it matters, she'll always be beautiful to you... take it from one who knows.... ;)
 
Woo hoo, so she finally popped! I was watching your other thread as were a lot of HHO! Bet tessy is glad that part is over, and what a bonny little filly she is, congratulations, look forward to seeing her develop, foals are wonderful little things :)

Many congratulations to you also suffolkmare, very cute indeed :)

:D we would do if we had more land, sadly we have 2 acres that was totally trashed this winter with Tess alone on it, it would mean building another stable and keeping them in more or sending one off to the local livery yard :(

Thank you :D oh i know everything went really smoothly and fingers crossed it will remain that way x
 
I see that Dolly is now emulating you, abbie, getting ready to do her share of the mucking out. She's a fabulous foal, so much character already.

What interests me, is whether you can start to see signs of who the daddy is!
Is anyone managing to guess his breed yet? All those cute little whiskers might be a clue!

I was on baby sitting duty whilst mum mucked out and she was trying to eat pebbles, leadrope, headcollar, shoes, my hair, the stable and our jack russel :rolleyes:

We have had a guesses Clysedale, shire and irish draught :-)
 
Well I have some more photos for all you lovely "aunties" from Willow's personal special auntie! She was in the paddock today, but being very brave and friendly, so I got a proper cuddle :D:D:D She wanted to play with us and for us to scratch her and loved all the fuss. We couldn't spend too long though because David was pulling grumpy faces at us, wondering why we'd brought him in and then left him to go and see the baby :p





foalie nose



ooops, YO's niece is the "headless circus rider"! The garden is just beyond that paddock.
 
Aw, I want one. My youngest foal is 14 now and I miss babies :)
(Can't have one though :()

I wish I'd had a digital camera when mine were young, I haven't enough pictures.
