Baby Bumps

 I was brushing Coyote Belle after I brought the mares in from pasture, and baby was kickin' pretty good, so I managed to film some of it. I lay my head on Belle's side and talk to the baby. I already have a name if it's a filly, but I'll wait until it's born before I say what the name is- it might not suit. I'm getting excited! I love the babies.

Your new background..too cool, looks like you somehow put the"summer" hill , behind Beamer rearing in the winter version!

I love the babies too! We have 4 new foals already born and 3 more to go at the farm. They are just too dang cute!

I love stroking momma's belly and talking to the baby.

That is so cool, I might have to change my due date!

Shirley said...

Lisa- baby gets less active a few days before foaling, so she isn't quite ready yet!
Allhorsestuff- When Belle was getting bred last year I put my order in for a filly ;0)- but I'd be happy with a colt because they are easier to sell.

Remembering what a strain it was to carry a baby person, I can hardly imagine carrying a baby horse.
