Well here he is !

 

 

 

 

After all the planning, logistics, waiting and nail-biting Willow (owned by Michael Collins and Rick Biggs) gave birth to a beautiful chestnut colt in the early hours of Easter Monday. I must say when I took her to be covered on a fantastically warm and sunny day last April, I didn't imagine there'd actually be 4 inches of snow on the ground when he was born !
