Meet Neechi

I'm please to announce the long wait is over!   Yesterday we welcomed our very first William baby to the world.   We were lucky enough to be able to watch his birth.   We've been checking on Cheyenne pretty frequently, knowing she could go at any time.   Yesterday morning we let her out of her nice dry stall for a bit of exercise.   Of course, Miss Chey waited until we had left her alone in the corral- which was pretty wet and yucky from the spring snow storm the previous day.    I was able to take quite a few pictures of his birth, and other than being a little muddy, the whole event went just like clockwork and was just as I had hoped- problem free!

It took a bit for Neechi to get those legs all working in the same direction for him, but with a little coaching from momma and his daddy across the fence, it wasn't long before we could  get him guided out of the slop and into a nice dry stall to get him cleaned up.

Neechi is a "first" for us in a few different ways.  Most importantly, he's our first part bred Cleveland Bay baby.  The dream that Tom has had for close to 40 years came true yesterday- and there was just no wiping that big grin off Tom's face.  The horses his family has bred for generations now include Cleveland Bay in their lineage.  Also, Neechi is the very first colt out of one of Tom's personal mares.   My mares have had colts, his brother's mares have had colts, his dad's mares had colts.... but for close to 30 years, the mares that Tom had bred only gave him fillies.    They grew up to be some fabulous mares, but he sure did grin when he figured out we had a little boy on our hands!
Now we take a sigh of relief, and prepare for Ninety-Nine to have her little one.

I just realized that you're going to need an "Offspring" link for this site now! He's a gorgeous foal!
