Hodges welcome daughter and foal on the same day

Patterson horse trainer Merrill Hodges delivered her baby on the same day the foal of her prize-winning mare Silly was born.

Harper Hodges was born April 23 at Memorial Satilla Health Birthing Center, weighing five-pounds, 8.9 ounces. Sharpie, weighing considerably more, was foaled later that same day.

Upon returning home, one of the first things Merrill and her husband, Austin Hodges, did was introduce the two new arrivals to each other.
