It's a Girl!!!



The first foal of 2009 arrived a couple of weeks ago, and here she is with her proud mama.






I went out to get her pics for her baby book, and of course all her adoptive 'Aunts' had to escort her everywhere! It was hard to get into the throng of curious 1 and 2 yr old fillies just to get close to the new baby. :)

This little chestnut beauty is the first filly by the stallion, DB Khrush, who has competed succesfully in dressage, hunter and endurance. Her dam is a powerful AQHA mare, Belle. With the power and athleticism of these two parents, it will be exciting to see this little filly's skills when she gets older.
But right now she's content to have her mom swat flies off her face with her tail!

Sticking close to mom.












I was finally able to outstep the curious fillies to get in front of mom and baby for a face shot - face just like her mom's, don't you think?
