My part Arab mare, Calista, was bred to a champion halter, liberty and endurance SE Arab, JPJ Minstril Palo. Just after midnigt (sorry my h broke off and I sometimes miss the little knob under keys) she has a palomino colt. He is HUGE and I had to elp her out to pass his shoulders, but other than that, se is doing PERFECT with him, this is her first foal. e took a LONG time to figure out ow to nurse (he was sooooo close but due to being so big he couldn't figure out ow to balance himself and turn his ead/neck to latch on, though e sure tried!) so the vet tubed him, but gave him and Cali a clean bill of health, and e eventually figured it out :) Name ideas are welcome, I have no idea what to name him yet!

Thanks everyone! I will share more pics next time I'm on my computer (vs phone). My husband named him Sterling, so now just need to figure out a registered name :)
