All creatures great and small

I am back online! We have been without power for the entire day...geez, light and heat are great!!
Anyway, the mare finally had her baby...Snowy Eyed JoAnn arrived early Thursday morning! She is a healthy, bouncy, Buckskin Filly. We are all in love with her! We call her the Blizzard Baby due to the fact that her impending arrival included various weather conditions that made all of us anxious. How sweet she is...my first experience with a newborn. She is so soft and curious...it is hard not to stand and watch her for hours.
Some pics...

Ohh, too cool, I love babies. I've never seen a buckskin though. I wondered what they looked like. Since this is your first baby, did you have a vet check her out?? Check her IgG scores and that kind of thing??

It always makes me breath easier when the foals on the ground and the vet tells me the IgG scores are good.

She is not my baby...belongs to the owner of the barn. He did do all of the proper vetting so rest-assured! She is already getting so big...it is great fun to watch and learn!
