Educating Sinatra

We thought it might be fun to share our new baby with you , his education from day one , we all do things our own way and no two foals are the same .

This young man is three days old today , we were not sure when his mother was due to foal , she had full teats for 4 weeks but never looked big enough to foal , as we all do when her teats became very big at the back end went soft over night – we were all on foal alert , after a week of this checking all night , going to work looking and smelling like a Zombie we gave up , the night before she foaled did the usual checking for waxing -still nothing , thought it might be another week or so .
During the night the stork that brings all of our babies must have had a spare slot in his diary , the next morning there he was.

I was woken by a call saying Rosie has had her baby , a lovely little girl !!! as always, i rang the whole world telling them we had a new baby girl !! then came the bit i love , you walk towards the stable wondering what it will look like , more black ? more white ? one head or two .

The answer was more white than Black , a baby beard Santa would die for , two blue eyes hence “Sinatra” then little wobbles stood up , it soon became clear that the little pink bottom had no girls bits even after i had tried to part pink skin and nearly made one .

he is so very cute we all love him , i have taken lots of photos to share with you , i am off to try to upload them now . The next post will be about from one day old , today is day three and he is already becoming a real little boy . Anne .
