    Do you have someone there who can help you watch her in shifts? I believe The Little Prince Sterling wouldn't have made it if Hubby hadn't gotten him out of the sack.

    Wow, maybe because the strips had to cross the border? :) It sounds like Tilly is getting ready. I almost gave up on Sally thinking perhaps she had a false pregnancy, so I didn't sleep completely dressed the night The Little Prince Sterling came into the world. Hence I missed the birth, but Rob...

    I am so new at this. I've never had a baby equine so am learning quite a bit as situations arise. I'm pretty sure Sally has done this before, but boy does she use tough love on the little guy! She doesn't like him near her food or water. She even flung him a little hard with her nose, and...

    It's a boy! Looks like his mom. Hubby was on watch. He woke me up to show me the baby cam. Saw a definite contraction. By the time he got to the barn, baby was half-way out with a normal presentation. Hubby had to help baby out of the sack. By the time I got out there in the time it took me to...

    Thank you for your prayers. I will pray for Tilly as well. I hate that kind of cold! We get that sometimes, but usually not this late in the year. Poor Tilly has been a breeding machine. I like that you said and her last. I don't know anything at all about Sally. She was from a rescue. Her...

    How many times has she foaled? I would LOVE to see a foal during the day. Not going to happen. Hubby is pounding on her roof, and neighbors have Jr. Nascar going on!

    No, she spent most of the night either eating or itching herself all over on every wall. She's laying out flat sleeping now. How's Tilly?

    Here's what see looks like this evening. Her milk was clear but sticky; we didn't ph test it since it was as low as possible yesterday. Baby is still riding sideways. I'm on my way to bed. Hubby watches her first shift. Blessings, Holly

    This afternoon, on the monitor, I saw her lying flat out with her legs tensed. I went racing out there. When she saw me, she relaxed, got up, and went to get a bite! We didn't even bother testing her milk today as it was as low as it could go yesterday. Please pray that everything is alright...

    I thought for sure she was going this morning, and then as soon as the son comes up, everything stops!

    She is till standing in the middle of the stall, but she is constantly lifting up all four of her legs and shifting her weight - very uncomfortable.

    5:30 am: Sally has been rubbing on every square inch of her stall. Now she is standing quietly in the middle of the stall. I'm praying that there isn't anything wrong. :( Her milk tested 6.0 yesterday around noon. She has been VERY uncomfortable all night, but once again, after the sun starts to...
