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 .

Hi Ann,
I love your post-what a sweety. You have been blessed. I look forward to hearing more.
Thanks kathy xx
Hello Ann and Charlotte. I feel I know you from the MVP video DVD. We bought Sinatra Monday Feb. 15. You can not imagine how much we LOVE our Little Man. I’m very surprised he is not in our house at the dinner table with us yet. He has a Girl Friend with him – Serenity. Both seem well adjusted to their new home. I have to admit I don’t know how I found this page or how to stay connected with you but I want to share so much with you. Our lives will never be the same. I am lucky to be home with the Gypsies everyday. They will be my lifetime buddies. Erica has opened a awhole new world for us. I can’t thank you enough for starting Sinatra off with Love and attention. I want to hear all your stories! Donnie and Kathy Fontenot at Allanita Acres in the Swiss Alps of Texas.
