Irish had a big stocky well marked colt early this morning. She delivered without assistance and the colt was up and nursing well by 5:00 am. This colt is so strong and FAT that I had to have the walkers come take a look at him.
He is so well filled out that he looks like he is at least a week or two old.
They all agreed with me. Usually a newborn is slab sided and narrow but not this colt. He has an off centered star that looks like one of my grand daughters tried to paint on. 
He also has long legs and should end up close to 16 hands.
Better pictures will be taken later. With all the excitement of his birth I was a little late showing up for the walk. The walkers really were shocked at how big strong and stocky he is. It is nice to have PROOF that he really is only a few hours old and yet this stocky. Irish is such a good mom.
