Rose walked slowly and painfully into the meadow. She found a nice shady spot under a big oak tree. She lay down and got ready to give birth. Rose felt a sudden pain and rolled onto her side. She was heavy with sweat. Suddenly the pain became worse and closer together. She pused and pushed, and then she saw two forelegs! She was very excited as she saw new life getting ready to begin! She started to push some more, then she saw a very tiny little muzzle! It was a slow but painful process. At the same time it was very wonderful she thought. Rose pushed again and soon she saw the whole head and half a neck. "Almost done," Rose thought. She relaxed for about 5 minutes. Then she started to push again. She looked back up,and then she saw the body. All she had left was the hindlegs. Rose's heart was pounding as she waited for the rest of the foal to be born. She rolled back on to her side for another 5 minutes. Then she had to push again. Then.........the foal was born! Rose stood up and turned around and lay back down next to her foal. She started to lick her and soon the foal was starting to stand up. She had long spindly legs and was very lite of color. The little foal was a palomino filly! Rose was very excited. She had to stay there though til the foal could stand.......
About 12 hours after the filly was taking her first few bucks, kicks, steps, and drinks. Rose stood up and let her foal nurse. While the filly was nursing Rose grazed. "I have to think of a temporary name for her, until Jumper and I think of a name," Rose thought as she grazed. Then the name popped into her mind, "Angel, that's perfect!" She let Angle finish nursing she made sure she could gallop. Then Rose and Angel galloped off to Jumper and the herd...............
