And here comes the second filly of the year. Anna delivered her LONG legged Licosto foal on Thursday morning at 4:20 a.m. A lovely baby, tall like her dam but with more refinement and a sweet, quiet nature, the moment of truth arrived when Anna nursed her for the first time. We had been holding our breath as an apparent oxytocin defficiency had made Anna's first delivery tough and robbed her of most of her maternal insticts. Indeed, we had prepared the ever-nurturing "mother of the year" Jastriad to raise this filly in the event of a similar failure, but so far Anna has been a great mom, and it appears that little Hannah Boden will stay right where she belongs, beside her dam. Sorry, Stri! You are a special lady, indeed, but this is what nature intended. We are anxious to see how this little girl matures, as so far she appears to have the best qualities of her two parents, but it be several days until she is finished unfolding those LEGS!
