We Didn't Need Those Extra 8 Days!!




Looky what I found this morning! (0;
Silly ol'Tari didn't give but one small sign she was getting close last night....each little nippie had one small dot of wax on it...and that was all.  At bedtime check, she was munching her hay with a calm lazy eye, and at 5 a.m. this morning, there he was!  (0;  Up moving around, dry and already nursed...way to go Tari!!  Whooot, whooot!!
Yes I said he...bummer dude! 
Luckily my sister was in town on other business, so she got to see the baby brand spanking new!
He had his new baby vet check this afternoon and had a few blood draws...Mindy is going to insure him...so instead of just IMG(??The blood test to see if he was getting his colostrum and using it properly) he had to have another one as well. 
Tari is a fantastic first time momma!  Of course I am a little bit partial but, Dr. Peters even said so!  (0:  Dr. Peters also said in two days he should be walking totally up-right.  Just a lot of baby folded up inside momma.  Of course we already new that just by looking at her yesterday, didn't we?  (0;  She is not nervous...but is attentive and allows everyone to handle her colt with only a watchful expression.  If we didn't know better, we'd think that she had done this before!
Man I love this mare!!
No name yet for the little guy, but he is a true ball of fire and is pretty sure he doesn't want to miss a single thing.  Its pretty exciting 'round here now!!  (0:
More pictures later!

Oh wow congratulations what an amazing surprise to find in the morning. He is super cute and how lucky to have such an awesome Mum. I'm sure you will spend lots of time baby worshipping in the next few days and get lots of gorgeous photos
