We have a cria! Ruby delivered her first baby this morning around 6 am. I'm guessing at the arrival time. I woke up and looked out the window at the barn around 7:20 and saw a brown blob and with a closer look via binoculars I could tell that it was a cria. I dressed very quickly and ran out to the barn and into the dry lot to bring the baby in to dry it. In the cleanup process I was able to find out that it was a boy! His birth weight is 15.6 lbs. I think we're going to name him Fiddler. He appears to be a bay black right now. His daddy is a silver grey.
He's doing great. He's already been nursing and Ruby is a great mom already! Here are some photos.
