2 new foals!
It seems that foals are like busses... You wait around for ages then two show up at once!
I've been on here at some ungodly hours for the last four days as I've been sitting up at night to keep an eye on two mares who were due to foal. At 23.30 tonight Cherry started to look like something was on it's way. By 23:55 this had popped out! Tammy, the other mare in the barn had been a bit unsettled while she watched proceedings so I went to check on her and, sure enough, she was starting to have hers! Less than an hour later both foals were up and drinking! Not a bad nights work! If all goes well I'll be awake for another hour or so to check them and then, for the first time in four days...BED!!!

Alas both are fillies!
We've got three more due this season so let's pray one of those is a colt, then it will be Little Paul! Other than that he has the option of me calling one Paula or Paulette!

If no colts then perhaps "Paulina"!

By the way...
The Long-Haired General is still bemused by my demands for photos of me waving my watch in front of a foal just so I can put them on here!

Both foals doing well. It's 02:35 here so I'm off to have a lightning quick shower and then bed!

Beautiful animals!

Congrats on the two fillies. It has been a couple of busy days for you. Get some sleep now.

Wonderful!
I really think a filly could be named Paul and feel just fine about it. You'd have a fun story to share with prospective buyers. |

Hey, if the last one born is not a Colt, I'd still be VERY proud to have a mare named after me.
