First Time Standing

The girls and I stayed up all night to see this cutie be born.  She's a Caspian foal.  The Caspian breed is a smaller size horse, but they're bigger than ponies.  She was born around 4:30am this morning.  She was born on her mother's birthday; how sweet is that.  :)  They're both named Taliyeh, the foal is Taliyeh III (her nickname is lilty); the mother has given birth to five other foals as well, Taliyeh III is her sixth foal.  The foal is a little underweight and weak, but she's doing fine.

Here is Taliyeh III (lilty) standing for the first time.  Click the 'play' button below to view the short video clip.



Just wanted to share a happy moment this bright, early, sunny, already gettin' hot, Arizona mornin'.  Have a good one, everyone!  :)
