Latest Foal (lots of photos)This is the latest foal from my favourite mare (apaloosa quarter horse and Harvey the stallion's Mum). Born 2 weeks early we thought Della was going to burst she was so big, not surprised when we saw the size of the foal. She's only a few hours old and so trusting already.

She will probably colour out to a certain extent Mogs, all the spotty foals born since I've known J (friend with stud) have done that.
She is a real sweetie, not like Lucy's foal born 2 weeks ago, a wee witch, mind you her Mum isn't the most sociable of animals and she is teaching her! |

This wee one is my favourite, she is just like her mum, gentle and loves a scratch! Her temporary name is Gummy, but any suggestions of names are welcome...it's got to begin with E....can't quite remember why 
Foals whiskers and noses are so small and soft, I love them. |

She looks so sweet. And nearly as big as mum it looks like from the photo! how big are mum and dad? | ||
| mogs |
i suspect it has to begin with E because year. last year the 4 colts we bought from a friend of ours, the same one we got the fillies from this year, were all named with the letter D....danny lad, dancing boy, druid and dillon.
what is the stallions name? |

J has gone for Spotswood Early Dawn, (Spotswood being her affix) with Elle for everyday use! She has become quite cheeky now and is doing what Mog's foal did, jumps on top of you!  Discipline required methinks!
