Mama finally popped and out came a very cute little filly. We thought she was going to go Saturday night so I gathered together my sleeping bag, pad and pillow and set up shop in the tack room with Kathy. We watched a couple of movies and when we went to check after the second movie Abby was down and pushing hard. It was a false alarm though. We slept really lightly jumping at every noise, but Abby decided to hold on to her baby a bit longer.
As I was pulling out of the driveway last night I got the call. Kathy told me her water had just broke and I had better hurry. I made it just in time with just the feet sticking out and within 10 minutes there was a new little filly on the ground. It was so amazing watching her try and figure things out. Her first little whinny was so cute. I plan on heading out Wednesday to get some more photos of her while she is a bit more steady and playing in the pasture.
