Cassie stared open mouthed at the tiny foal laid in the straw. "It's beautiful." she murmured to Josh, who was grinning.

Taylor couldn't help but smile when the foal started struggling. Without thinking, Taylor reached over and broke the sac around the foal's face, to make it easier for it to get out. It was slimy and disgusting, but she tried to not get too grossed out. The foal had a chestnut face with a yellow blaze. Taylor guessed it would turn white after Skylar cleaned the foal. "Should we help it anymore, Gena?"

"Oh, bless Skylar," Megan whispered when Skylar turned her head to look at the little foal and Taylor. "She must be so tired!"

"I wonder if it's a filly or colt . . ." Taylor murmured, watching the little foal try to raise its head, even though the sac was still wrapped around the rest of its body.

Sara grinned as the foal slid out onto the straw. "It's beautiful!" she said softly. She couldn't wipe the grin off her face. "Congratulations, Taylor!" she laughed. She sighed as she watched the foal. It was so cute! "Well done Skylar," she murmured.

Gena smiled, "Wonderful Sky. No, it should do this on it's own now." She stroked the mare lightly as they watched the foal.

Taylor glanced back at her friends, smiling. The little foal thrashed around, kicking and struggling. Skylar stumbled to her feet and sniffed her newborn. Taylor backed up to the wall, so they could have some space. Skylar immediately started licking the foal. "You're such a good girl," she whispered.

Gena stood up when Skylar did and walked over to Taylor. Any second the foal would stand for the first time. Her heart fluttered when she watched the two mother and foal.

Taylor felt her heart melt, watching the little foal look around at all of them. She noticed that the foal was a chestnut tobiano, though her coat was more of a brown color right now. Skylar was still licking the foal when it tried to stand. The foal folded it's forelegs underneath it's body and swung it's rump upward; it's little tail swished back and forth, raised up high. "Guys, it's a filly!"

Taylor laughed when the filly stumbled to her feet, then fell back down in the straw. Skylar whinnied, obviously concerned, and began licking her daughter vigorously when she fell. Taylor sniffed and started noticing that her eyes were getting watery. She didn't wipe it away when a tear rolled down her cheek.

Sara grinned. "Aw!" she said. She laughed as the filly flopped back into the straw after attempting to stand. "She's so beautiful Taylor," she said, nudging her as she saw a tear trickle down her cheek. "She's so precious," Sara murmured, watching the mare with her foal.

Molly was outside the stall with the others and laughed when her eyes filled a little also.
Gena knew this was so beautiful and all of the riders would remember it forever.

"She is," Taylor whispered, smiling at Sara. The filly tried to stand again, but she slipped and fell again. Skylar nickered to her and nudged her baby's side with her muzzle, encouraging the filly to stand. Snorting, the little foal tried to stand again. She didn't fall this time, but stood there, looking around at Taylor, Gena, and the others.

Cassie felt a tear run down her face as she watched the little foal stand up for the first time. She leant her head on her brother's shoulder.
Josh grinned at the little foal, thinking that it was doing pretty d*mn well.

The filly took a timid step, not toward Skylar, but toward Taylor! She watched the newborn stumble over her legs, trying to reach Taylor. "Hey, sweetie," she whispered, holding out her hand to the foal. The filly sniffed her fingers, then wrapped her mouth around one of them, she began sucking on Taylor's finger.

Taylor pulled her finger out the filly's mouth, smiling. she placed her hands against her soaking coat, pushing her in the direction of her mother. Skylar nickered, and she hurried over to her mom. "She's so sweet," she murmured softly.

Sara grinned and laughed at the little filly. "That is the cutest thing I have seen in my life!" she said as she watched Skylar's new foal try to suckle from Taylor. She laughed as the filly rushed to Skylar's side. "Too cute!" Sara said again, grinning.

Gena smiled as she watched the foal, "So cute."
Molly laughed when the foal staggered over, "I can't wait to watch her grow!"

"I think I'll name her . . . Tempest," Taylor said promptly, yet quietly. "Because she was born in a storm." Taylor smiled as she watched Tempest walk along Skylar's belly, snorting. Soon, she could hear Tempest taking her first drink of milk noisily. Skylar swung her head around and looked at her baby, then started licking her again.

"That's adorable!" Sara grinned to Taylor. "Little baby Tempest," she said, smiling. "She's perfect!"

"Her name fits," Taylor said, turning around and leaning on the stall door. "A tempest is a storm, and she was born during one, so why not?"

"Oh Tay, she really is adorable!" said Cassie, watching the little foal. "Tempest is a great name!"

"Thanks, Molly," Taylor said, grinning at her. Taylor glanced at Tempest, she was still suckling like mad on Skylar.
