Congratulations.........
Dottie / Equus / my other half, Is a member of a horse Forum,and they are going to have a poll/contest sort of thing to decide her name!:sneaky2:
In a way I'm dreading it. Watch it be something I'm gonna' hate!!:innocent::blushing:
Congrats. Very cool.
AWE!!! Poco,she is beautiful!!!
Congratulations, dad.
What a sweet little thing. Just makes my heart glad to look at her. Thanks for the pics and congratulations to Dottie and you!
I am not a horse person, so....how do you know she is going to be gray? She looks brown. And, congratulations! :clap:
Pretty neat! So, how soon was it up and suckling? It still looks like it's covered in afterbirth.
Oh, well yuck. You didn't have to go there did you?
Keen observation RWC!! Actually, in the first pic you can see the placenta.
She was still wet from birth. Today she looks like she is going to be a Buckskin!! Still a day or two before we can get her out in the outside light to get a better look. But with the dim interior of the barn I believe that is what she will be.
Rick, I was there when all my kids were born. Believe me a horses birth is nowhere as gross looking!!
Oh well YUCK again!! I'm checking the rules. There must be something against posting the word placenta. There just has to be.
If you look around her head you will notice some very faint Gray coloration. As the horse ages more and more Gray will appear,until eventually the horse is so "Gray" she will look more white than anything else!Quote:

I'm surprised the mom can still stand to let her suckle after that.
What a little beauty! I think Gracie sounds good!:)
Oh, and she'll be in good company if she does turn out to be Buckskin. My old boy was the most stunning Buckskin I've ever seen(then again I'm biased) If I can work out how to do it, I'll scan in some pics.
OK here are some pics of the filly we took yesterday. Kinda' like an update, as you can now see what she looks like dry.I think she is gonna' be a buckskin!!
