Babies Make Everything Better!

Well, baby animals..that is!

About a month after we moved into our Belgian home, one of the horses in the pasture next to us had an adorable foal which we ended up naming "Baby Girl". In total, there's one male, which we call Stud Muffin, and two mares (one is Mistress and the one that had the baby is Show Girl). They ended up with those names because it seems like when Show Girl was pregnant, Stud Muffin was hanging out with Mistress a lot and completely avoiding his angry spouse.Typical!

Well, the tables have turned! Apparently Mistress was pregnant and popped out a baby the other day. I walk past those horses daily and she NEVER looked pregnant the entire time, so it caught me off guard when there was a baby foal wobbling around the pasture.

Babies have it made, ya know that? They get to hang out, sleep and eat. Gosh! Such a hard life!


I love how she's all legs!


She's still gettin' the hang of this whole "walking" thing...



And she's down for the count!


Hopefully I'll get some more pictures of her soon! Since it's gotten pretty warm here, the farmer has been keeping the baby in the barn till it either rains, or cools down a bit.
