Forrest Jump!!

Well, after what seemed like an eternity of a gestation period (ugh, and I thought 9 months was long!), my friend's foal was finally born the other night. Because the mama and papa had both illegally jumped fences on different properties to be together, she named him "Forrest Jump" which I think is pretty funny...
I had stood vigil with her for 2 nights waiting, and then when the time was getting close I had to leave for all of 20 minutes and missed it!! I arrived just after he hit the dirt, running up the lane at 10pm in my pajamas and slippers with my camera. I did actually help baby stand for the first time and try to guide him to the teat (unsuccessfully - just a lot of licking of milk that was getting on my hand), so I feel totally bonded with the little guy. The first shots are just after birth, and the rest are of the next morning and evening. I think I'm in love.....
