I’ve been missing in action the last few days, but there is a very good reason. Meet the newest addition to our family, who arrived just before dawn this morning:

It was a difficult delivery, but mom and baby seem to be fine now and the prognosis is for both to recover fully. We’re still working on a name for the baby. Here’s the proud father.

Fantastic!! look how proud mama looks. A future world champion, is her gift to you.
Hot damn, Jim!
She’s gorgeous. I love her blanket already. Course, it changes as they grow, right? Congratulations.
I think the blanket stays about the same but my vet says she will probably go darker in the other areas when she sheds.
If this is the ideal, seems like you have a good start on a confirmation winner.
Filly day joy!
Too adorable!
congratulations!
What’s the mother’s name?
Mom is Zips Hot Lady, sired by Hot Chocolate Chip, out of Zippos Ladybug.
So the (very adorable!) filly, should be Zips (Hot) Dream, no? Nickname: Dreamy! Which she is!
Beautiful!
Colt or filly? Looks just like his/her daddy – love the markings.
Filly. Duh! Read the title, knucklehead. Oh well.
Beautiful horses, Jim, and the little filly is precious!
Horse lovers are the best people. (am one, too)
Beautiful filly. I lurvs me some mountain bred Appy’s.
Congratulations and thanks for sharing this. She’s beautiful.
Congratulations! I’m jealous.
Lovely and heartwarming. Congrats!
Wow, JimWhite! You are one lucky man.
Glad the delivery is over, hope both filly and mare recover fully and quickly.
What fun!
Absolutely gorgeous. Lady Hunterbug? :~)
oh JOY…best regards…she is absolutely a doll,my neighbor raises horses,i feed them apples and carrots most every day
Good news: Mom and baby are doing great this morning. The time of biggest risk seems to be over. No picture, but the baby in her little foal blanket is just too cute.
Oh, now! No fair to tease. Get us more pictures, please. Something to sate the appetites you stoked. Baby critter pictures are always the best. We definitely need more.
Momma and baby are gorgeous!
Possible translation for what momma’s saying: You BETTER be pretty, after all the #*&$ you put me through. Whew.
Seriously, I gather it was a bit of a struggle. Good wishes to all for good health and joy.
Congrats Jim.
