So sorry! But then, **StGermain** also missed it, thus keeping her batting average at 1.000. 😉

ETA: Yes, Moon looks to be a good mom, doesn’t she?

I saw a bit of placenta hanging out when Moon turned her butt to the cam.

Looks like baby has a white off hind.

I’m glad to see they have two water buckets hanging, rather than just one, and at least one is full.

Ho! Baby spiderlegs!

It was fast. Here’s the info on Moon from the website:

[quote]  
BF Moonfyre - Purebred black Arabian daughter of our own Fyre One, this gorgeous mare is winning in open dressage classes against the warmbloods. She is 15.2 hands tall and a spectacular mover. She is approved in the main mare book of RPSI and can be presented to any other warmblood registry a breeder would desire. In 2004, Moon gave birth to a stunning black colt by NV Beau Bey, who has been chosen to succeed his wonderful grandsire as our Arabian sport horse stallion. See Black Fyre Bey here. Moon was bred in 2006 to the Champion stallion of the Arabian Sporthorse Nationals in 2005, Klint Black, and produced for us a stunning black filly that we are keeping. See pics of BF Fyres Khyss at [www.sonestafarms.com/2007foals.htm](http://www.sonestafarms.com/2007foals.htm) We are awaiting the birth of Moon’s 2010 custom foal by the Dutch Warmblood stallion,ore like a compact Warmblood to me.

Baby’s sire is an Iron Springs Farm Dutch Warmblood stallion, [UB40](http://www.ironspringfarm.com/stallions/ub40/1083) – what a romantic name, eh?

Huh. Purebred Arabian? Never would have guessed it; she looks more like a compact Warmblood to me.

And baby’s up – with a little help from her human friend.

ETA: Whoops – down again.

All the lights are on at the Pinto Farm. I wonder if somebody is birthing off camera.

Darn it, I missed that one completely.

ETA - Right now the mare is lying down, and the colt is attempting to jump over her. He wants to jump over the Moon! 🙂
