Our first fjord foal

Hello Everyone  

We had our first ever fjord foal last nite between 2 and 4 am.  It was a colt 
to add to Amy's numbers and Sonja was indeed carrying on her left.  Both mom 
and baby seem to have everything under control.  He is nursing well and 
cantering around the stall at 7 hrs old.   And I am tired, but extremely 
pleased to have a healthy foal.

He is larger than I expected a fjord foal to be.  I would estimate his weight 
to be 85 to 90lbs as I certainly can't begin to pick him up and I measured 
him at app 39 inches.   What is a normal size for a fjord colt?  His sire is 
a little over 14h and dam is about 13.3.
