Well, yesterday I drove a couple hours north east of here to visit Ruby and her Beamer baby. Ruby foaled on the 22nd, and it is a gorgeous bay filly. I know, right? The filly of my dreams!
She is perfect! And in true Beamer baby fashion, she is friendly and inquisitive, not shy at all. I had a good visit with her owner, who is, of course, quite smitten with her. I offered to put a deposit on her then and there, but she hemmed and hawed a bit and said she would decide when she gets back from holidays on July 21. Meanwhile, Ruby and filly will be hauled to a breeder who will take good care of them while they wait for Ruby to come back in heat to be bred to their stallion, Sweet Mr. Katz.
Ruby is a good mama, but it was a bit of a difficult birth, the filly had to be assisted until her shoulders came out. That is quite common with maiden mares, I had to pull Belle's first foal, Sparkle, and a few others as well. By the 2nd foal they usually have it figured out; I think on the 1st one they don't quite know how much they have to push and are a bit puzzled. But she mothered up good.
I sure hope her owner decides to sell her to me!
