[endurance] ITS A BOY!!!

On Tuesday, 5/28 (merely 6 days after we determined she was pregnant and 8 days
from her last training ride) Elly delivered a bouncing baby boy!! We were home
and videoed the whole thing. It was truly amazing!!

This little guy is light bay with 3 white socks, a star and a snip. His legs
fade to a beautiful mocha before turning white. He is just too cute for words!

He's already racing around and mom is a major worrier. She's being so
protective that I feel sorry for any critters attempting to get near him. She's
wonderful with us though, trying to calm him when we hold him. It's really been
a great experience.

We are definitely keeping this baby and will be gelding him. Unfortunately, we
just don't have the knowledge and experience I think are necessary to keep a
stallion. Beware though, he'll be on the endurance trail in a mere 4 years!!

Any name suggestions will be welcome. Mom is Lady Elysees and Dad is Our
Classic Touch.

Thanks for your help and info--especially Wendy. I printed all your advice and
it really helped!!

PS--Does anyone know of a place to find English/Arabic Translations. We are
thinking of looking for Arabic words and coming up with something that would
fit.
