Belle 2021

[elizabeth.conder]

She?s testing between 6.6 and 6.9 this morning. She?s looking pretty good but still not quite there. I tested her brix on my refractometer. It?s off the charts high. Much higher than even when she foaled last time. I am supposed to leave town for thanksgiving. Obviously not leaving her by herself. So she may foal at the vet if she doesn?t foal soon. I hate to do that but I can?t really get out of my trip and I am definitely not leaving her by herself.

That's a perfect choice.  She's too precious and her little bundle is too precious to let anything happen to them.  Getting even more excited!!!

Belle did not hold out till I got home. Foaled a pinto filly at the vet last night. I will update with pictures once I get them home.

Here she is. TINY silver bay tobiano. I measured her cannon at 6 3/4 inches. Both are doing great.

Very cute.  Congrats!

What a little beauty, and she looks pretty well put together.  Can't wait to watch her as she unfolds and grows.  Just a perfect little gift!!!  Well done, Belle!!

I see that little beauty sleeping while momma eats!!  She's looking tiny and perfect !!  LOVE IT !!

I will get more pictures when she gets a bit older. She has lots of unfolding to do still. Still working on a name for this spunky little girl.

Momma and baby sleeping peacefully this morning a few feet apart, but in front of the food bin!  LOL

Momma and baby both eating.  Momma with her head in her bin, and baby under momma's leg!!  Beautiful!!

Momma and baby both eating.  Baby VERY interested in the orange bin.  Is that the water bucket?  Baby was definitely partaking of something in there.

Also, someone else (looked to be dark color everywhere) was saying hello to both, and looked like they were eating hay in the open doorway.

Baby looking more put together, and seems to be in control of herself.  Nice and strong.  And, by the way, nibbling on the hay.  So funny to see momma and baby with both their heads in the hay!

That orange bin is actually what I feed grain in. Belle is an expect at removing it from the fence though lol. Still trying to hammer down a name. She?s definitely getting stronger. But more to go though. She?s sweet but VERY sassy lol. I took this picture the other night. 4 days old here I think?

She's resting now while Momma eats.  She looks so sweet, but you should definitely call her barn name Sassy if she is!  Too bad there isn't just a one word name for the Chinese sweet and sour sauce.  Sounds like it would fit her.  She a cutie and she's looks nice and upright.

I named my paint filly Sassafras, and called her Sassy for barn name, it fit her to a T.
