DD Take a Wild Guess

On day 339 of Skip's Wild Flower's pregnancy, it was evident she was going to foal that night.
The previous day, she had bagged up extensively, and was growing soft all over, with her hind ligaments turning to a ‘jell-o’ like consistency. Her dock was limp and jiggly, and her teats had waxed up nicely overnight. Dante wrapped her tail in the early hours of the evening, and monitored her very closely, as usual.

In the middle of the night, her water broke suddenly, and within a few short minutes, a single foot began to emerge from the chestnut's vulva. Her caretaker, Mendoza, frowned and began to grow quite concerned with the lack of the other foot, but just as he was about to rush in the stall and assist her, the long limb retracted back inside. Dante observed silently. The lone foot had been white, meaning this foal would probably have some chrome. Finally, two small hooves started to re-emerge into the outside world, letting Dante give out a sigh of relief. Eventually, the nose peaked out, everything still covered by the white amnion bag. For some reason, Jasmine had then risen to her feet, and was giving her last contractions, standing. Dante burst quickly yet quietly into the huge stall, hurriedly placed himself to the rear of the brood, and braced himself to catch the dropping foal, which plopped into his open arms like an offering from the heavens. He was drenched in afterbirth fluids, but successfully caught the beautiful filly, and landed her softly in the thick straw bedding below.
After giving the mare and foal the standard treatments and analyzing their state thoroughly, the stablehand went to the telephone by the office in the barn, and dialed his boss's number.

The groggy voice on the other line told Dante that he had just woken up the owner of Double Dance.
"Yes..?" the woman grumbled.
"Heya. Jasmine just foaled," Dante chirpily told her.
"Oh, really?" she excitedly replied, her voice becoming gradually less croaky. "So, is it a little girl or guy?"
"Heh, take a wild guess..." Dante scoffed lightly.
"Ah, another filly."

Wow! Yes, another filly from this season's crop! Finally, the last kiddo.
This is the result of this breeding, for the HARPG.
Sorry for the short and crappy text, was a bit busy. And, for the pic, I was going for a slightly pouty look, but it came out boyish, lol.

What do you guys think of her? :3

Ref was this, 'cause I can't draw foals worth a shit, lol.
