Night and Day - that's what it seems like. Two weeks ago I dealt with the birth and death of a lovely black filly that hit me hard. Well sometimes life gives you a little something to offset the bad things that happen. Yesterday a lovely big buckskin filly was added to the Farm. She is the light to banish the dark (of course, Freckles has been doing a very decent job of keeping me in smiles as well).

Bailey did an excellent job and is a wonderful mother.This filly is huge. Very active. Long long legs with plenty of bone. Has already figured out the whole duck my head and get up to the milk thing. Bailey gave no indications she was ready to foal although I have been watching her for the last week and a half. She ate like a, well, horse yesterday morning. No pacing. No sweating. Just one lovely filly.

Still shy (notice the buckskin shading on shoulders and neck):



Freckles finally has a friend. Notice the size of the six week old vs the one day old:

Happy babies:
