Surprise!





My family had the most wonderful surprise this weekend! My mare, who apparently was pregnant, foaled sometime Friday morning, and she had the sweetest little guy you've ever seen! Now how could I not know that she was preggo you ask? Good Question! I bought her last June and wasn't informed that she had been bred. She had her fluffy winter coat and didn't get very big! I rode her 3 weeks before she delivered and everything fit great, I had no idea! I did notice that her belly was a little big, and her ribs were showing despite being fed heavy over the winter, so I wormed her:) And sure enough, she had one very big parasite!
This is him about 10 minutes after I found him and had time to catch my breath!
A few hours old! Momma and baby's vet check proved two perfectly healthy horses, what a miracle!
