And the winner is....

Dusty Devoe! Yup, that's right, Coyote Belle FINALLY foaled at 2:45 AM- we have a filly! It was a long labour, she couldn't get the head and shoulders out so after almost an hour, I decided to step in and help by holding traction on the legs, and then the head and shoulders came out; she stood up and out came little filly! Poor little thing, first thing that happens to her is getting plunked on the ground. It only took her a few minutes to stand up and motor around though, she is a determined rascal. I did have to get a halter on Coyote Belle so she would allow that first drink, but baby needed no help in that department, she was hungry! The light was really poor for my little camera, so no video yet, later today I will get better photos.It's going to take her a couple of days to strengthen those back legs, and longer than that to figure out what colour she will be. Right now she looks brown, but most likely she'll be the same as her mom, kinda smokey brown/black. Not a lick of white on her!
Dusty Devoe, please email me with your choice of the two prizes and a shipping address and I'll get that sent out today; congratulations on winning!

Congrats! She is a nice filly! Makes me wish our other mare would hurry up and foal. I'm hoping for a palomino roan. Looking forward to more pictures and video as she grows.
