[Don Corleone]

Hey Well Done Big Max. Neat photos. All the best in the future.

YES!!!!! I'm a Grandma!!! Got the Art Major-Bronski Gorgeous FILLY (well 99% sure it is a filly its a bit hard to tell so got second and third opinions!) we have wanted for ever! Full sister to Major Bronski and General Bronski. Little darling was born 10:30pm last night - right after I had had my shower of course, got dirty all over again! Didn't bring my camera and I have a crapola phone that doesn't take pictures. Will try and get pictures by the end of the week, its a shocker week for me study wise this week.

Spent the first 3 hours with the foal and (hopefully) imprinted her, this morning she was coming up for cuddles. Feeling very chuffed at the moment

Thanks... only just coming down from the adrenaline now! I don't think I can get photos before next weekend I am so swamped but will get a tonne of them ASAP Looks like she has one hind sock and cute little star and she is a decent size.

Hehehe very (shamefully) must say the she is a he!! Lesson learnt don't rely on opinions given by flashlight at 11pm at night. Just got a phone call then that the little "filly" is actually a colt. I know I should be happy, but was really after that filly incase anything happened to the mare. Very dejected at the moment. It's a beautiful foal neverthless and I'll have photos tomorrow. Don't know what's worse, the fact that it isn't a filly or feeling like a goose announcing that it is! :'(

[VVV] Nah, from all those who've ever done a foal watch you will get a respectful nod and immediately earn a pass for not picking the sex of the foal Tahn. It's the age old combination of a lack of sleep, a burst of adrenaline and bad light that conspires against you. Initially I was pretty sure our American Ideal colt was a filly & that despite having assisted up close & personal upon his arrival.
We've got 1 more to go, should be on the deck in the next week or 10 days. I enjoy it all as far as seeing them come into the world... but I can't say I shed a tear when the foaling is over.
