The first foal of spring was born on March 8. 12 months and one week since breeding, which is a normal gestation. He is a very nice little spotted jack. Since both parents are "wooly" I expect him to be as well. This picture shows him the next morning after he was born. Both are a bit muddy, as his dam, Sing A Long decided to leave the lovely dry stall and have him in the paddock, in the rain. But it gave us a great name for him, Singing in the Rain! It's wonderful to see the foals get up and move along with their mothers so soon after birth.
