Breezey Had Her Baby...

On Sunday April 20th at 4:20 AM Breezey gave birth to a beautiful palomino filly. I think Kate was a bit disappointed that we were not there to see the birth, but honestly she went so fast we wouldn't have made it anyway. We were out to check on her Saturday night and she wasn't even showing signs of laboring or even being ready to begin laboring. So we really were surprised when we went out yesterday afternoon to check on her to find out that she had delivered already. Breeze seems to be taking to motherhood much better this year than she did last year, so we have great hopes for this little girl. We are not sure if we will keep her or allow the breeder to keep her in lieu of breeding Breeze again for a baby next year. The problem that we are running into is that this baby will be too old for Kaitlin to take to college with her. Which we didn't know when we chose to breed her last year for a baby this year. Anyway, I think that the plan is to let the breeder keep this baby in lieu of a stud fee Breeze for a baby next year. But of course this baby is only a day old so who knows what is going to happen. Kaitlin is very excited, but I do have to say even she knows that this years baby will be too old for the purpose in which she was looking to breed Breeze. At any rate this little girl is a really cutie...check her out at http://perchalskifamilypics.blogspot.com
