Pedigree Query

Watch our mare all night long to foal as she was showing signs of the first stages of labor. We turned her outside this morning for a little exercise as she didn't seem to be in hard labor and she had the foal in the lot. Our children have never seen a baby born so this was quite an experience for them and we were glad they were able to share in it with us.

Both mother and daughter are doing great and snuggled into their dry warm stall. Beautiful, big sorrel baby with 4 white socks. Pictures to follow later today! She was born at 11:30 this morning. Has been up and nursed and is very strong.

Congratulations on your new addition! Glad to hear everyone is doing well. Just FYI, if this is a thoroughbred, then there is no sorrel color. Other breeds may recognize sorrel as a color but not the Jockey Club. More than likely since I have not seen the pics I am assuming its a "chestnut" which is a recognized color of the JC.

Good Luck with the new baby,

Congratulations!

I have a mare who prefers to foal outside. She crosses her legs all night long and tries to sneak to the back of the pasture when they're turned out in the morning.

Yes it is a chestnut, sorry my Quarter Horse background comes out every now and then!

Here are few pictures of our new baby. She is very tall with white on all four feet and just a few white hairs on her forehead. She is about 2 1/2 hours old in these photos.

Very nice! She looks tall, Congrats!

Darling baby. Congratulations!!

Congratulations!
