Congrats everyone!
Our second foal arrived this morning at 8:30 am! It is a black filly by Rubin Royal out of EM Winnergirl (White Star-Argentan). We have named her Reveille GCF. We are extremely excited to see this one grow up! You can see pictures here (she just stood and was still wobbly)- Reveille GCF
Congratulations, Garner Creek, on your beautiful filly! What l-o-n-g legs she has!:yes:
No need for Stilettos to show off those legs! Congrats 
love the name!
our filly that is a couple weeks old now is a bold one…I got her haltered and brushed today. She runs right up to people for scritches under the chin. I wish all the babies were that easy!
BEAUTIFUL babies everyone!! So glad to hear of so many easy delivieries this year. Keep them coming!
Congratulations everyone!
I always love the pony baby pics the best!
rescue mare from Sugar Creek Ohio foal today
I saved her from the kill pen on 2/18/11, she is blind in one eye but, exceptional in every other way, really! She is an Overo Pinto mare buckskin and white. I do not know about colors, lol!
The foal looks to be buckskin with 4 whites. Waiting on vet for IGG but, she is really looking great! She was born at 3AM on 3/3
Congratulations to all the other new foal owners!
Our first foal of 2011 arrived 3/1 @ 8pm. A lovely dark bay filly by Artrageous out of Cynthia’s Field. We have yet to decide on a name.

Congrats foxhaven I missed her foaling by 45 minutes! I adore her star, it looks like it’s wrapped around her cowlick on her forehead.
I’ll add pics this afternoon, but my boarder’s Western Expression mare had her foal by Midas Eyes over night. 2 weeks early, with no signs other than waxing once this past week. Gotta love the maiden mares! But all is well, the little colt is all legs! Eating, walking, can get up and down easily, passed manure, all the good things. And mama, while terribly overprotective (ok, downright nasty) has been a great mommy, cleaned him up, let him nurse, and is doing her job just fine! Yay!
Here are pics of our Rousseau colt from EM Wolkenstanza (Wolkentanz I/ Rohdiamant), born a week ago. He is an ET foal and his surrogate mom was not up to snuff for a few days after the birth. All is well now and the colt and mama are doing great. I have named him Renoir and he looks very much like Reflektion, his full brother who was born in 2009. As you can see, he is not very friendly. :winkgrin:
Chiquita Thais had a buckskin colt by Ivory Coast on weds night.
Here is Pacific Coast

He is super cute Gen!
Sierra Little had a bay filly (may go grey) by Artrageous at 6am Saturday.
The first foal out of my stallion came at 7:30 this morning. He is a bay colt with chrome and blue eyes. I have never seen a foal with so little facial white with blue eyes but he does. He is very curious and not scared of anything but very level headed.

I’m just catching up here - congratulations to everyone!
cripplecreek - same pictures 
Any closer pictures of his head? He’s darling!
Here’s a Morgan who is solid but has blue eyes from his Splash gene (and a fully body pic) And another one with minimal face white but blue eyes
A little slow here! congrats to all so far!
We had a STUNNING (he he) filly by Benidetto born out of SPS Diorella (Donnerhall/Akut).
All went smoothly and both are doing well!
Thinking of naming her Bifrost after the norsh mythology rainbow

How stunning? I mean are you impartial enough to say? [totally kidding]
Shame for not posting pictures though!!
JB - I thought I was posting different photos. Guess everyone know I’m sleep deprived now. Here is some more.

He has white on his chin and lower lips. He is quite personable. I will be taking many more pictures I’m sure.
I did not say he was “STUNNING” even though I think he is but I can see that he looks to have a shorter neck and seems to maybe of gotten his head from his momma.
I sent pictures to the guy that broke, trained & gave me Ace and he thinks he might be a red dun as now that he is dry he has a dorsal stripe. Guess we will just have to wait and see.
Awww, the 2nd one is precious! So fuzzy!!
Crikey that blue-eyed chap is very furry!
That got me thinking…
What makes some foals come out hairy like that? I’m sure it must be a bit to do with breed (heavy draught types are often very hairy as newborns) but what about gestation length? Sometimes very early foals have ultra smooth soft coats. Climate? Region? Season? Latitude? Genes?
This year I had a warmblood (Prestige VDL) that was a bit yakkish when born. He had hairy wrinkles arching over his forehead (I take this as a sign of a horse with a coarse-ish coat as an adult, but I may be way off track here!). They look like water ripples. The next foal (2 days later), a TB, came out smooth and fine coated. Now, at nearly 3 months old, the warmblood is fluffy and fried and trying really hard not to moult his foal coat. The TB is smooth, shiny, and nearly all moulted out.
…
And now back to the cute foal photos!..
