Finally a foal on the way...

Post by Gigi Gofaster »

So Angel, my Harlan's Holiday mare that found her mojo in eventing, is finally in foal. It was a bit of a rough road at first, but we are now expecting a boy (probably) next July!

Here she is:

I CANNOT WAIT.

Here she is, busy making a baby and seeing if there are any cute fluffy disney-esque animals she can stomp into oblivion:

Watched a Trappe Shot storm home at Laurel. If I were closer to Kentucky I'd send her to him next. It's an A+ nick.

Do you live in Maryland? I ask because I do. I live in Silver Spring.
I bet your mare is as big as a house now!

Sadly not anymore, but I used to work at Laurel back in the 80s.

I think Angel is huge as her date approaches, but that's only because I know how greyhound-like she normally is. Everyone else is just 'is Angel a little chubby?'

Just curious - how do you know that it is probably a boy? Is there some sort of gender test for horses? When my mare was pregnant, we didn’t know what she was going to have until the moment her daughter came out of her.

Well no it's not a colt (those 'spots' on the early scan were not what we though they were!) but introducing Harley! Angel is a fantastic doting mommy, and everything has gone just beautifully. Born about 4 am Saturday!

That mare looks fantastic. And goes without saying the foal is adorable as well ;)

Congratulations Gigi! Nothing brings a smile quicker to my face than seeing a young foal.
