It's a girl!

We got no phone call in the middle of the night and we'd been told that most mares deliver at night, so Jim accepted an offer of work for the day. I had work to do including writing paychecks for the ranch, so I headed over there mid afternoon to hand them out and go over a number of things with Sue. She and I noticed that the horses who were outside were all clustered around the barn looking in the windows - possibly an indication that something was going on. We crept inside to see and low and behold there was a baby! She must have been no more than an hour or two old. The vet arrived soon after and pronounced everyone healthy. Jim was quite disappointed to have missed it. The good news is that another mare is pregnant and due probably within a week. Photos tomorrow, I promise.
