It's a Filly!!! Devon Lane x African Nights (PIC POSTED)

ZiaLand · Postby **ZiaLand** » Sun Mar 05, 2006 10:34 am

We are very proud to announce that African Nights (Southern Halo) foaled a filly at 12:08 early Sunday morning, March 5 (just four days ahead of schedule). The filly is dark bay with three high white socks and a blaze. We expect she may gray out at some point. (Her sire, Devon Lane, is a gray.) She's fairly good size for a first foal and both mom and baby are doing great so far.

Windsor Farms is going to try to get some pictures to us sometime today and we'll be sure to post a pic.

EDIT: PIC IS POSTED BELOW

Thanks, Madelyn!

She actually has a little leather newborn halter that I got from the Kentucky Horse online store (that you recommended).

Maybe we'll have to attach little pink ribbons to it.

Probably gray baby and a filly and she's flashy. I am so jealous and I still have to wait a month for my first one. :evil:

With that blaze, she looks like she'll glow in the dark :!:

She be pretty loud, huh?

OK, name ideas anyone?

We're looking at Storm/Lane/Relaunch/Star or Stellar (for Stellar Jayne and Starrer -- Devon Lane's half-sibs) and/or South/North/Dream association on Africa's side.

My sister suggested Stargate or Stargate something. I liked Southern Pacific, but it's taken.
