For those interested in the house in Hooterville decorating posts, I promise they will resume shortly because I do have some new things to show you.
However, for now, I hope you will indulge me while I show you a few more photos of the sweet little foal that was born at our farm last Friday night. I really do kind of feel like a proud grandma! ;)
Any concerns we had about the possibility of the mother, Jolie, not allowing anyone to get close to her foal were unfounded. She is being an awesome, attentive mother but still allowing us to pet and get to know her baby under her watchful eye.
I love these next three photos of Daughter meeting the foal up close and very personal.
Jolie will only reluctantly let me briefly touch her nose so I was surprised when she even allowed me to come into the stall to get acquainted with her baby.
We were having a lovely little visit…
until she stepped in closer to me and…

She didn’t have her foot just propped up on mine…she was standing with her full weight on it which resulted in an UGLY grimace of pain on my face until I could push her back enough to extract my foot.

Jolie is part draft horse so the foal is big and estimated to weigh at least 125 pounds .
Ouch.
Daughter is having a hard time deciding on a name for the foal (which is a girl) so I told her I would ask my readers. There is no prize involved but if anyone has any ideas come to mind, Daughter is open to suggestions.

How wonderful. Those pictures are great. I'd be tempted to call her sore toe, smasher or crusher! She's just adorable.
That little foal is just gorgeous! Her mother has what is referred to as "horse sense", she knows she is in good hands.
Congrats to the winner of your giveaway.
Love these pics! How really great she is a sweetie!! I like Daisy for a name! Just a thought! hehe Congrats to the winner of your sweet give away!!
Hugs,Lisa
Thank you SO much for the sweet gift from your give-away. I have been smiling ever since I got your email! I'll be sure to share what I get with the gift card. I only wish you could see it in person.
What a sweet, little foal. She is adorable and I'm glad her mama will let you get close to her. It's nice that she to be close to you but, really now, standing on your foot is a bit too much! Hope you're doing OK.

Oh Shari, I love these pics! I'm so glad Jolie let you get to know her baby. How is your foot? Ouch
I like Daisy and Patches too. How about Misty?

How about Windy? She is the first foal born at Windswept Farm. She is gorgeous.
I think she looks like a "Trixy"...full of all sorts of tricks. What a beautiful horse!
She such a tiny little girl! My favorite is the picture with you and the foal and her little toothless gums. Bless her heart. She looks like a sweetheart :)
