Past and Present Minis

I have a 2013 colt (soon to be gelding, slow dropper) that has stifle issues. I haven't done anything with him, he is on pasture/dry lot. Yearling: 2015:

Thank you. It actually shocks me how mature she looks compared to her full sister. As a two month old, she looked like her full sister at 3-4 months old. Very thick and "built". She didn't keep her cute and tiny baby look for long. I am lucky to have such a nice "bachelor band" to not harm her...

Hard to believe that we're 10 weeks old today. She's a stinker for sure though! She does not spend too much time with her dam, instead she spends her time with her half-sister. When she's not with her sister she slips underneath our LIVE hotwire fence and joins her gelded sister, her gelded...

It's honestly hard to believe that she's a month old today. She's doing a great job at leading, and today I took her out to the yard on her own without her dam and she did great. (Despite flipping over on her back when the dog licked her nose and my head was turned.....)

Just wanted to update again, we are just under 2 weeks old. Today, working on setting up for pictures and walking. She's catching on quickly, and we make sure we don't work for more than 5-10 minutes at a time so that we don't overwhelm her. Just trying to get her interested in me and sweet...

Daddy seeing his last filly and foal: Looking great, post-foaling!

Sorry for waiting an entire day to post pictures! As you can imagine, I slept and it was great to sleep an entire night and not worry about Bow. Bow is doing a fantastic job at being a mommy again. When I first went into the stall and found the baby on the ground, she was still soaking wet and...

She foaled a healthy, solid, palomino filly at 3:30am this morning (June 9th). I missed it by mere minutes. Baby nursed and took her first steps within a half hour, and the placenta has been fully passed. I'll post pictures when I get off work today.

I. Could. Cry.

Milk is actually changing finally. This pic makes it look yellowish, but its more greyish, kinda off white. There are also blood vessels in her vulva that are bursting/enlarged to make patches that look purplish. Baby was also moving when we were out there.

3 pm check;

We are 323 days. Milk seems to be getting more yellow and less cream colored. Her vulva is staring to darken on the inside, which I noticed early this morning but figured I would wait to get a pic of it since she was laying down at the time.

Checked her pH overnight and its sorta dropping for me. Its still in the 6.8-7range,but its definitely not an 8. Baby is fine, he was moving around early this morning. (Yes, in calling it a he, Lol) Its always nice to know that we have a live baby in there. Just puts me at ease some.

Alrighty, just went out to check pH again. Here's an overview of today's changes.

I think we're making some slow progress. Her milk I think has lightened up and has more of a creamier look to it. Her pH is back to where it was earlier this week where it was red, nor was it orange. I can also tell physically that baby has shifted. Before hand I had a decent "shelf"...

Okay, sides have fallen in again so her rolling has worked. Pics: pH pictures: Earlier this AM it was yellow, 6.2. This afternoon it was BRIGHT RED, 8, and now its turning red and trying to rapidly change color and is turning white. Input?

PH is a definite 8, bright freaking red. And milk is salty.

Don't get happy. I pH'd her and she came up around 7.5-8. Twice. I bought new strips and ph'd her as 6 and then again as 7.5-8. I'll test her again in a few hours. I still think that her milk is getting a hair lighter in color though.
