Foal Friday: Polite Daytime Birthing Edition

I am shamelessly stealing Amanda's Foal Friday format because who couldn't use more baby horses in their lives? So far, Lisa has three babies on the ground with four mares left to go, and they are all CUTE blingy chestnuts so far.

This week, something happened that has never happened before, and it's especially bloggable: one of the mares foaled in broad daylight! AND Lisa happened to have guests around to take what ended up being some truly remarkable photos.

First up, pics of mom (who happens to be Connor's full sister) Castleberrys Dyma Hi (*Tuscani Dundee x *Bwlchllan Bessie by Derwen Desert Express).


And dad, Castleberrys Reno (Castleberrys ReFflection x Castleberrys Rosalee by *Tuscani Dundee).

A few years ago as a 3 year old




This is just one of the coolest pictures EVER! You can really see Connor and Dyma Hi's sire in Dyma Hi's face here, I think.

"Hello, world!"


I like the shadow puppet on his face

 
 
One day later, all fuzzy and cute:

      Right? The same week Lisa basically pulled an all-nighter when two mares went overnight!

      Isn't that the truth! I was sure she was going to go later that evening when the rain moved in.

    He's a doll! Can't wait to see more of him. Also can't unsee his blaze looking like a sock puppet!

    I fully support any and all stealing of Foal Friday because the world always needs more BEBES.
