The morning started misty again, well it was 4.45am when I did the first check on the girls, but that soon burnt off and it turned into another scorcher.
Little Miss Irraquoy decided that today would be a good day to introduce her cria to the big wide world. I thought this morning that she would have it today.
I could see from the yard that Irraquoy was up to something so off I headed with my birthing box and the camera. Within a minute or two of pushing out popped a head and two feet; so far so good. A couple more pushes and we had a neck and shoulders which revealed a fawn patch, the more Irraquoy pushed the more the fawn appeared!
Here he is being inspected by the girls..
It took him a while to master his legs, he even tried using his neck as a fifth leg to see if that helped.
He has a lovely face, with Irraquoys dark skin and his patchwork fleece he is going to be an eye catcher.

He is adorable x x. Loved how the "girls" where checking him out as soon as he was born x x. Love Grania x
Don't you just love surprises, we had the same last year, fawn on fawn and got a three coloured fancy. He looks very nice and strong.
Yes part of the fun...we got a white male out of two fawns last year...but doesn't LMI's wee one look lovely.
Gorgeous. Do you specialise in long legged cria?, or is it your camera angle? you must have been lying flat on the grass to get that last shot.
Congratulations on your lovely little surprise ! Fancy you having a 'Fancy' just goes to show ....mother nature has the final say ....no matter how hard those selections are ! Jayne
