True to horsey form, Mom waited until the wee hours to pull off her little surprise. We were quite ecstatic to peek out our kitchen window at 6 a.m. this morning (thanks! toddler) to espy Mom leading baby around the pasture. It was a little chilly before the clouds cleared way for the sun and I imagine she was trying to keep her shivering baby warm. Both have come through the ordeal well and Mom is proving to be properly concerned and protective, not letting us within 10 feet of them and equally keeping her filly away from the herd.
They are all excited, battles for heirarchy momentarily forgotten as they oggle and prance along their shared fenceline. Everyone seems to be on their best behaviour so far and their curiosity remains polite.
I'll have to go snag some better pictures, now that the sun is out and everyone's settled down a bit.
Ahh!!!! So exciting! Glad to hear it went off without a hitch! Cute little baby too! Can't wait for more pics. The second Ottica is out in the pasture I am snapping a ton!
