We have a mare up at our University's Equestrian Center who was due at the beginning of April. Everyone was so excited, an Equine Science class was suppose to be on foal watch and witness the birth...yeah... that damn mare decided to foal when the town was having their annual Spring Celebration and all students were out partying for the whole night... they get there in the morning and walla - FOAL!We're all very excited none-the-less, it's our first foal born at AU.(colt foaled on born 4/26/08, I'm a slacker when it comes to uploading pics) From what I heard they are going to call him Amarillo (<-- barn name), but I'm not 100% sure....he's usually referred to as "baby."
He's a bit of a goof ball...every time I go into their stall to say "hi" he always tries to crawl onto my lap...he even fell asleep on me once - I'm jsut glad he's still tiny; he better not be making a habit out of that! - lol!
"Baby", "Amarillo" or ?? He is precious. Thanks for sharing these pics. Mom is pretty attractive too!
Oh how cool! I did a foal watch one night in college at the equestrian barn. I actually got to see the little guy born though. They were on P names that year and he was the first, so Premier it was! He was a Morgan colt and I've gone back to see him a few times over the years.
Typical mare foal when no one is looking. Very cute!
he's adorable!!! =]
He's definitely a cutie pie.
