A Foal is Born!




Inspirada foaled at 4am this morning- she gave birth to a healthy and strong little colt whom we have named "Willing", in memory of Godwilling.



Little Will is a fuzzy grayish black color (at least for now) with a crooked blaze and three white socks. He is adorable and very curious and friendly. Inspirada is a wonderful mother, very caring and protective. Little Will is eating, passing his foal manure, and starting to explore already. He is very brave and confident for such a young guy, at one point he was exploring outside in the run while his mom was inside the stall! Very courageous, Little Will!

I have been checking the website RELIGIOUSLY awaiting Willing's arrival! So happy for Inspirada- she looks relieved! Willing looks soooo big! (Compared to some of the other baby pics I've seen on the website) What a sweet face- can't wait to meet him in person! Congratulations to you all on your newest arrival!!! Maybe he's so adventurous because his Mom had a wonderful pregnancy, and feels safe and secure in her home at Shiloh. What a wonderful chapter in Inspirada's life- which could have ended so differently... Great job, Shiloh!
