The newest addition is finally here. Only 11 months (not counting the several months of attempts that didn't work with a different mare) our 'little black filly' joined us just after midnight today.
She doesn't have a name just yet - but has been lovingly called "Sassafrass" so far, as she has shown herself to be very inquisitive and friendly and sassy. Much to her first-time mothers dismay. (Although - for a first time mom - she has been very gracious in sharing her little girl with everyone.)
We believe that she will be black. So, we are taking suggestions on names. Most likely a name that will translate into Arabic well. We have thought about Midnight (Hannah's) as she will be black and was born just a few minutes after midnight. Another suggestion was Black Sabbath, again she will be black and was born on the Sabbath. I found the name Caliana (A Moorish Princess), and also variable spellings of Leila (Born at Night).
I will post some more pictures tomorrow when I have more time.
So cute! Wish we could see her. Love Hannah's name suggestion. Isn't there an Arabic translation?
