Cor de Fe aka Fey was definitley an amazing suprise. Her Dam, Leap of Faith aka Mia, my 3star and incredibly talented mare, who I had tried to years in a row to get in foal, was supposedily not in foal so we flushed her and put in caslix. I then put her back out in the field. Come spring of 2010 I decided to pasture breed her to again bred her to Cor Magnifique. Low and behold on one particular day(August 30th) when I had to pick up Mia and move her to a different pasture--expecting her to hopefully a couple of months along in pregnancy. I noticed from far away a deer looking animal flicking its tail, near Mia. HOLY MOLY!!MIA JUST HAD A BABY! How was this possible? I had her there to be bred. Not to foal out!! As I got closer I thought "maybe it is another mare's baby". Nope it was nursing on Mia. She had be born only a couple of hours before--what luck! It was amazing, we had been checking her--no signs of a pregnancy at ALL! On top of that the foal was a chestnut filly! This left doubt as both parents are bay, and the puzzling event of Fey's birth had everyone scratching their heads. So I had her genetically verified and yup, she is a Cor Magnifique and Leap of Faith baby 100%. My vet was still amazed and calculated that Mia carried Fey 13 months!! I am so greatful to have Fey and crack a smile every time I see her. Definitely something in the stars for this one, and I can't wait for her future to unfold!
