Dyrk and I were going to head out for a quick trip to his Mother's in Idaho, over today, home Tuesday.

Betty had other plans for us.... she is still a week out if you look at "average" of 342 days. This morning she ate her breakfast like usual, was outside eating her lunch hay with her pal, walked out to the grass paddock, laid down and gave birth! :shoot:

We were about 25ish miles from home when the wonderful man that works for me called and very calmly said "Betty is having her baby". I tried not to break land speed records getting back home. We got there about 35-40 minutes later and he had them in the stall and baby was nursing!

Betty was supposed to be an ET recipient mare, but as we were loading her the gal said "Oh, she may have been bred yesterday" :tantrum: I would have ended the pregnancy at one week, but Dyrk raised her and really loves her and he also raised the stallion. So.....here we are!

Oh, this is her 5th colt. She is a breeding stock Paint. The stallion is a loud colored Paint. This is her 3rd foal by this stallion and her only colt to date with any color! Dyrk said he wishes she would have spread it out a bit! :teehee:

So... here is Betty yesterday and with Bam Bam half an hour after he was born.

Healthy foal is the goal. The color certainly is expressed on this one. Good luck with the baby. Are you still looking to do the ET and this mare as the Recip? No foal here. My mare didn't settle this year and that isn't all bad I will be taking both mares to a different stud this year. Too bad for your trip though. Lf

Congrats CDE!!! Didn't you read the mare manual? Taking a trip within two weeks of "expected" always brings on labor. You double your chances is you actually dress up and go somewhere!!

You didn't tell me Betty was a *sigh* Buckskin!!!!!! Do you think Dyrk will miss her of I stuff her in my suitcase while I am there? (note confidence in travel plans)

I'm glad all is well!!!! More pics please. :)

Yeah Jilli, I guess I forgot to bone up on my mare manual! Sheesh :teehee:

I don't know about you sneaking Betty away, he is quite fond of her ;)

Bam Bam is sure happy his Auntie Headless sent him a toasty little foal blanket! It was in the high teens/low 20's last night! But he gets to sunbathe today :yes:

More pics of the little guy to follow.
