My own little miracle.......

Just had to share my own little Miracle who arrived today - 15 days late! Welcome Squirt! He certainly surprised everyone by being chestnut and solid, but no matter his colour, he's a lovely little man.

Here's his sire, Barvee Mytee Spectacular (pic by Yallawa Appaloosas):

You can see why we were so surprised at him being chestnut! (My girl is bay under all the spots and roaning).

I'm very lucky to have this little boy. It was doubtful my beautiful mare would even go in foal, and now that she is 18 years of age, it was a huge risk. But to have her deliver such a strong, healthy foal is just fantastic. And she did it all on her own, while I was in theatre assisting with human c-sections....a very appropriate time to come into the world!

Spots or not, I think he's just brilliant!
