Our New Quarter Horse Filly at Dreamscape Ranch

,

Our long awaited new filly was born here at Dreamscape Ranch on July 9th at 4:40 in the afternoon.

It was a good delivery - Cookie's water broke at 4:15 and the foal was born at 4:40 and drinking milk about 1 hour later. While this isn't Cookie's first foal, it is her first 'bay' coloured foal.

Like her dad ("Smart Lil Freckle") she is a mahogany bay she has great markings and could be the best looking of all of Cookie's 7 foals and... probably... her last.

Cookie is only 11 years old but because of a bad leg injury she is getting a bit arthritic, so we might not breed her again. Also this year she has had a late foal so we will give her the year off for sure and re look at it next year.

What with the arrival of "Chance" earlier this year, we've got our hands full with these young-uns!  :)
