A Filly is Born!
06.15.09 Well we knew it was coming but these things are so often not easy to tell. Needless to say it was quite a surprise while doing morning chores to see a new little one already standing albeit a little shaky. In no time at all the filly was up and running and most importantly nursing well. Here are some images from the first few hours.

It is so exciting to have one of our own working at your beautiful farm (Greggory). I am an obsessive composter and gardener who is not quite all organic but mostly. Looking for your address so we can write Greg! Say hello to Greg for us. Lois Feltham

Congrats! I love getting these updates. As someone else said, it's life reaffirmed. She's a beauty, but, one quick question, what's her name? Again, congratulations and my best to the family.

I enjoy your journal from afar
A beautiful baby for all to enjoy. I can never get over how one day it can be 100% dependant in Mama's safe belly and the next be free standing as an individual.

A few hours!! That filly already looks well as if he (or is it a she?) is a few weeks old! Congratulations!

What a beautiful Filly! It is truly amazing how quickly a horse can be up, running and getting about while we are absolutely helpless at that age and for many months after! A wonderful gift for the family farm, indeed!
