As the tulips FINALLY peek their heads above ground, the highly anticipated first foals here at Northern Gaits have arrived!

The first one born to Dawn is a beautiful red, long legged filly!  We have named her Sienna because of her coloring and boy is she gaiting!  All around her enclosure she spends most her day gaiting around for minutes at a time and then, sleeping for hours!

Three weeks later, we had Diamond's foal on the ground!  She is a fabulous frosted color with hints of chocolate in her tail!  She is almost as big as Sienna even though she was just born!!  We haven't settled on a name for her yet but we are leaning towards Frosty Morning!!

As all mare owners know, each of these mares waited for the nasty, cold, wet days to give birth!  They couldn't have done it on the few days that it was above 40, no, they both waited until the weather turned cold again.

Dawn had Sienna about 1AM on a foggy, cold, rainy night.  We were out checking every few hours and thank God we did.  She was shivering and cold but once we had her and Dawn in the stall with some fresh hay, things were good again!!

Diamond had a week and a half of warm weather to give birth, but decided the morning that it snowed again was her day!  She had it about 7:30 in the morning and we were able to get the filly warmed right away!  Both these mothers kept us on our toes, that's for sure!  Our new horse barn paid for itself in these two foalings if you ask me!!!

It's finally getting warmer here on a regular basis so hopefully, no more freezing cold nights!!  We have two more mares due but hopefully, they will have a better time of it!!

As time allows, I will be posting pictures in the Horse section as well as the For Sale section.  All these foals are for sale so check them out!!
