Congrats!

Karla will make sure that Mazie pees, poops and is eating well and acting normal, and also that Gypsy is ok, before she leaves the stall for the night. Then maybe Karla will be able to get a little rest before she has to go to work in the am. :wink:

How big are they? As in, how tall at the withers?

I am going to guess a bit taller than my blue heeler dog? He is knee high.

I'm not sure, you will have to wait until Karla or someone else signs in to answer that one, I only seen them on the web cam and can't remember if they have said before.

She is now doing laps in the stall. :D

Here's her story...
Kennedy's dad took most of the photos. He didn't use a flash so we wouldn't bother Gypsy... I used a flashvery early, then later.

Thanks for being there.

Oh she's beautiful!!!! Congratulations Karla & Gypsy! Woooohoooo Mazie's here! :D:D:D:D
She looks like she has some curly hair! Or is that just cuz she was so "fresh"?

omak 04-22-2009 10:10 PM

That is just really special!
Thank you for the pictures.
Her head looks so much bigger than her body!
And, I love the baby horse blanket ... That! That was almost as good as the new baby!
I am glad that Amazing Grace has arrived in your barn!
When we've been there ten thousand years .... <whistling on my way to bed!)
Sweet dreams, everyone! <wave> and <whistling!> :D

tlrnhi 04-22-2009 10:48 PM

SHE'S BEAUTIFUL! Just like her sister!
I love, LOVE, LOVE the name!

But, I was hoping for a colt, but that's ok.
Karla, she's really pretty. Can't wait until she gets bigger and we can see the colors better.
Now, get some rest. You deserve it. Big hugs to both you and Kennedy and Kennedy's dad too for taking pictures!!http://www.freesmileys.org/smileys/smiley-happy096.gif

bearpaw 04-23-2009 03:14 AM

Congratulations!!! Unbelievably cute!!!

barnbum 04-23-2009 03:14 AM

Oh--I'm shaking off the weariness and drinking coffee...I'm ready, I'm ready... to get to school... just have to eat some oatmeal. :roll:

Mazie is so friendly!! I needed to dip her cord and check Gypsy's bag...and she came right over with no hesitation to give me kisses. :D :D She's amazingly :wink: soft. Rosie and Whisper had a fit being put in the back pasture--but Gypsy needs her privacy and quiet today. Jazz is up front and Chloe is free to wander to keep them all company through a fence.

I'll be home by 12:30... easy morning--students go swimming from 9-10!!

I bet I'll have more pics today too. :D

tlrnhi 04-23-2009 03:18 AM

I'm glad you are a bit rested.
Go and have fun at school, like you always do.
Did you really think that Mazie wasn't going to be a sweety-pie? Just look at Rosie...she's sweet! lol
I can't wait to see more pictures!!!

drivin*me*buggy 04-23-2009 03:36 AM

Oh Wow!!!!! Congrats Grandma (again!)!! Mazie is beautiful and that is a great name! Tell Kennedy's dad thanks for the pics....that last one of her laying down in her blankie is adorable! I can't wait to see if she is really going to be gray.

Hopefully you can get a Good nights rest tonight Karla. Thanks Angie for keeping us all updated.

Congradulations on the new filly she's beautiful. I love all the pictures showed them to my granddaughter she keeps looking them up she loves her toooooo. Cute little coat too. My nieces horse is due in two weeks so granddaughter can't wait to be there for the birth hopefully.
Take care and get some much needed sleep.

Chele 04-23-2009 08:51 AM

Amaizey Grace is just adorable. Great job everyone! To bed, Karla! LOL!

barnbum 04-23-2009 09:55 AM

I've been home from school--hanging out in the stall. :D Gypsy's bag is a bit more firm than I'd like it--means the baby isn't nursing enough. But I've seen her nurse--often--and she's swallowing. Seems she doesn't nurse for long. She's FULL of energy--that's for sure!! She was climbing into my lap and tasting everything. She was trying to move my leg with her head!! She's strong! :lol: She's was running from one end of the stall to the other too.

Mazie is also shivery--I have two flannel blankets on her. It's chilly out there, but I've closed the barn down, so that should help.

The vet will be here sometime for a check, so that will relieve any worries.

Rachel can't stand not meeting her--so her cousin, who attend the same college, is driving her here tonight about 7:00!! :D :D :D :D :D They'll go back home tonight.

Kennedy and her brother and father are coming after school today for a bit. :D :D

I'll get more pics soon... she hasn't changed too much in the last few hours. :wink:

I get to sleep in bed tonight...I get to sleep in bed tonight....

Ducky 04-23-2009 10:04 AM

It's funny how I've looked forward to your updates. Thanks for keeping everyone up to speed. Truly hope you get caught up on sleep!

barnbum 04-23-2009 10:07 AM

I'll have new pics no later than tomorrow. :wink:

Kennedy has a blast emailing Angie and posting here last night. I hope Kennedy will join the forum. :wink:

MadQuilter 04-23-2009 10:18 AM

I think that is the sweetes foal I have EVER seen. So cute with her little blanky. Makes me feel all warm and fuzzy.

Congratulations!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

dunster 04-23-2009 10:49 AM

Congratulations! Beautiful foal. I'm so happy that everything went so smoothly after the long wait. And that braided tail on Gypsy is so cute.

fluffbug95 04-23-2009 10:57 AM

SHE IS GORGEOUS!!!
Is Rosie a Minature Pony?
They are both beautiful horses! I love horses myself! Congratulations on the NEW Filly! :)
