Oh, congratulations!! He is lovely. Horseshoe--or heart on his rump. Tiny stripey hoofies. Looks like mottling on the muzzle. Oh, Precious and Legacy....y'all DID GOOD!!

I missed the birth, 'cause we had to go do laundry. Left at 6:45 and got back at 8:55 to see a lovely baby wobbling around with a proud human family looking on.

Again, congratulations. I'll also say a prayer that Precious gets over her pains quickly.

He's tried to nurse a couple times but each time precious laid down, he's so cute. She's rolling a lot, laying down standing up...

AT LAST!!!  Many many congratulations Holly.  What a clever girl Precious.  ;D
Hope Precious will feel better soon, but babies dont have to feed for a few hours so she has some time to feel more comfortable and have a little doze, bless her.

What fabulous little guy and 100% homozygous for the appy gene!!!!  Will throw appaloosa on any future foal he sires, instead of the 50% his daddy will throw!

Good job Precious and Legacy!!!!

Had a very easy delivery! But soon after Precious started to have sever pains, Colt wouldnt latch on, I think he was so busy learning to use his legs! Precious was having a difficult time  so we had to get meds on board, Baby finally latched on, after milking her out and syringe feeding. It was a rough couple of hours  but thank the Lord everything worked out!
Sue thank you for calling, I really appreciate it . I really do because had I been unaware, the phone call could have saved a life! I am sorry I didnt get a chance to talk longer but I was running very low on sleep and I was very concerned about them both!
So Colt is Black, and also looks to be a snowcap. Also I can see where he will grow more white and it looks like he has spots too!
I am so pleased! His front legs are a bit knock kneed, but i think in time with more exercise and unfolding he will straighten out.
He is super personable too!

BTW his name is
Siana's A Patch E Shadow 

So am I correct in calling him a snowcap with spots? He has striped hooves and one solid white one. He has a cpl of black spots in his white, but much of the skin under the white is pink. I can see where the white looks like it will spread too....
