Documented Birth (Graphic)

A new filly!

The mare is a surrogate mother for an embryo transfer.
Dam: Sonita Wilson
Sire: Smart Spook

I've not had any previous exposure to a foal's birth and it was an amazing sight.
I'm honored to have been invited to witness such a beautiful event. Thank you, Linda!
You did a wonderful job and the mare and filly are in my heart forever.

Fantastic job, Marj! Nothing like the miracle of birth. Glad you got a chance to see it first hand and Linda does such a wonderful job with all those mares and foals. Keep up the great photography...I always look forward to seeing what's new!

Love them babies! Congradulations!! We had our very first foal this year. Unfortunately she was born premature to a maiden mare who rejected her. We did our best for 8 days, but mother nature has her ways and she was just too frail to survive.
