Slaney surprised me this morning with......

Forums

a pretty little solid chestnut filly. The surprise was that she wasnt due till May 19th lol I knew she was creeping closer as her udder filled up all of a sudden and then yesterday evening when checking her her udder was very full and teats pointing down but not "full". Her vulva was swollen and elongated and there was a flash of pink. So watched her on camera till 1am then went out for a look and she was the same and stuffing her face. So went to bed and got up at 3.30am and checked her on the monitor and while I watched her for a while she just stood in the corner dozing so felt as it was nearly 4am that she was probably going to hang onto it a while longer. Got up at 7.45am and looked at the monitor and my eyes nearly popped out of my head to see a foaling wobbling around and trying to suckle. So out I ran and there she was only partially dried and still figuring out what her legs were for :lol: I guess she was born maybe 30 - 40 mins before hand. So here are a few pics of Ruby only 2hrs old (had to let them out so I could clean out the stable) [img]http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t35/Minimad1/RubyMay11th2009019.jpg[…] [img]http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t35/Minimad1/RubyMay11th2009007.jpg[…] [img]http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t35/Minimad1/RubyMay11th2009014.jpg[…] [img]http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t35/Minimad1/RubyMay11th2009008.jpg[…] [img]http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t35/Minimad1/RubyMay11th2009025.jpg[…]

You are almost spot on Lipi - she measured this morning although still a little hunched 20 3/4" - she was midway between the 20 1/2" mark and the 21" mark which is why I am saying 20 3/4" I expect her to mature between 33" - 34" - her full brother Prince was a little taller at birth but they are the spit of one another

This was Prince last yr at 1 day old

I think they are very alike. Will be interesting to see if she gets that sabino roaning and also sooty
