Dreaming in Technicolour is here!!

Delilah foaled out a beautiful buckskin tobiano colt last night (Saturday) at 8:26 pm!

Dreaming in Technicolour (Shawn) at about 14 hours old.

We got to watch the whole thing as we were in the barn doing chores when she went into labour. The Mare Stare camera couldn't quite see her as she chose to birth her foal in the one corner where she couldn't be seen. Oh well, we'll try again with Beauty.

His name is Dreaming in Technicolour (barn name Shawn) - he'll be registered ISHR. He's gorgeous!!

His half brother out of Allie (Abby's mare) was born on Friday. His name is Sprinkles on Top (barn name Cody) and he's got lots of colour, too. Allie is a Canadian Sport Horse, so Cody will be registered as part CSHR, ISHR and Pinto.

Sprinkles on Top (Cody) and Allie

Both Cody and Shawn are tall and will be big boys when they're full grown.

We thought Beauty would foal first as she was due first, but like last year, it looks as though she's planning to hold onto her foal for an extra month.

Pictures of both the boys will be added later today.
