"Rose Cottage"- Rosie

The horses were looking so happy as I left for lunch yesterday with friends , all looked as it did every day, they were eating away at the wonderful pasture, and enjoying each others company.

On my return from lunch . I went to look to see where the horses were, as i like to know where they are ,that they are safe and all accounted for. As i was watching them, I thought i saw 4 little legs at the back of "Shilah" the white dabble grey.. No! I thought..I am seeing things. Too my surprise I wasnt.

I hurried inside to get my camera and went to the bottom field where they were grazing and there she was..not but half a day old with her long lankey little legs wobbling around. The most beautiful little filly anyone could wish to see.. She is perfect in every way.

Her actual time of birth , I cannot say, but it was for certain sometime early yesterday morning. She was being protected by mummy Sheilah and I had'nt noticed her.

I arrived home around 4 pm and this is the beautiful sight I beheld...I present to you " Rose Cottage." Our "Rosie"
Her official name is "Rose Cottage".. we will call her Rosie.

Her coat is like mink velvet..she is so so adorable.. I hugged and stroked her.

I will be bringing her closer to the inner garden tomorrow. She can then get used to being around me,and start to play a little.

Here she is with her aunty "Pascoa" checking her out. Yes, she says you will fit in just perfectly.

Is'nt she just the most adorable little creature...long long legs.. She will be a beauty. Mum is so proud of her and We are proud of mum.

Aunty's looking on with curiosity. She was suckling with vigour, her little tail wagging with sheer elation .
Its a happy happy day here at "Rose Cottage"- She was born here, I called mr M over to see her, we both wheled up with such joy. We named her "Rose Cottage"- to us all she will be little Rosie.

A new birth, brings hope and joy to our hearts. A new day begins.

Its my grandson Thomas's birthday today, he is 13. Tom rides "Shilah" most weekends,joined by Diana and Filipe . We phoned him to give him the news . He was so happy.

Hope you enjoy the photos of our new little addition. I am in love.! Joy to you all.

Wishing you all a happy weekend.
