Introducing Sunday, born last night at 9 pm (on Sunday!). She is very dark, looks black, but may be a bay (dark brown with black mane and tail), black or gray as she gets older. She is beautiful, with long, straight legs, and a star, stripe, and snip. She has one white sock on her front leg and a little white spot on her lower lip.
Mom and baby did great. We got there just as she was born. The vet technician had to help a little bit since Sunday was such a big foal, but she said Sunday helped herself by wriggling around! I got a chance to imprint her, and she let me touch her all over without any real resistance.
She was up and nursing within an hour (way ahead of schedule)! We stayed and watched until she had a nap and then got back up to nurse. She jumped up so fast after her nap it startled us! I am glad Friday has a lot of milk.
Friday loves her new baby. She licks and licks her. She is such a great mother!

Oh, and by the way, the miniature mare won the race. She foaled earlier in the day. I have never seen a horse this small!
