Nice filly! 
(FYI maiden mares have a greater chance of foaling early or late because hey, they don’t know what’s going on, lol.)

Love Sweep.
Me too! Sweep for me, was a hand puppet character from the '50s (showing my age here). Called the Sooty and Sweep show, Sooty was a little bear and Sweep was a little dog Sooty’s sidekick!
I had a conversation with my husband about Sooty & Sweep the other day.
Haha, love all these references!
