Her name is Jasper. Sparkles got a lot of attention today and a long walk as she got all upset when she found out she was all alone in the new large horse pen. I left her in there and she panicked when she couldnt see us anywhere. Jewel won't even look at Sparkles or come even close to her or...

Oh Jewel is doing much better today. She is feeling well enough to be somewhat of a brat so I guess that is a good thing. She is just being protective and has gotten quite peaved at vets coming in and nervous of any people peeking in to see baby .. At end of the day.. I walked her in the...

yeah.. beautiful and such long legs. congrats.

Oh congratulations! We had ours foal the same day. April fools day baby. Yes.. now we can get caught up on our rest. He is a beautiful colt.

Oh my word.. she is big! What a beautiful mare and to think she had a white baby.

Oh.. and she is wanting to eat but the vet said not to eat much. Well.. hmmm. So I waited until noon to feed her just like the vet had said.. she has been eating up slowly now. I will start her on the emolene 300 again tomorrow in small bits.. she is on soft alfalfa pellets and horse feed and...

Ok.. thanks so much Diane. I will get a photo up. As far as the Hyperlipemia. I must have read upon this a while back. Jewel did come to us with an overweight issue. I started slimming her down very slowly . Then when we realized she was pregnant, I was worried as goats get similar issues...

And today.. a first! Jewel is a very protective mother. I have been working with her to not be so uptight. Today I petted jewels forehead and baby was curious and for the first time.. Jewel actually nudged baby towards me for me to pet her too. Oh.. that just brought tears to my eyes because...

Oh good thanks everyone. I do know that she seemed to have cleared her system out before she foaled with cowpie type poops all over the place so I hadnt been too alarmed but then she just didnt want to drink any water. She seems to be doing so much better. She evidently has been used to vets...

Thinking of you as you are still waiting for your little foal. I had been so tired. The night Jewel foaled, I actually slept for the first time all through the night and never woke up until my husband woke me up to tell me there was a little baby in the pen running around. The night I finally...

I had to have the vet out again this morning. Jewel had not been drinking or pooping much at all. She also hasnt eaten much. The vets have been wonderful. She ended up having a mineral oil drench tubed down and more pain reliever. The doctors have both said that this was a big filly for...

Here are some pictures from later today.. Filly is about 10 hours old. Jewel is doing much better. The little foal has pooped numerous times. I think Jewel should be drinking more water. We were able to clean up Jewels tail. I had just unwound it the night before she foaled. Poor Sparkles...

Vet came just now and examined placenta. Everything there looked good with complete afterbirth. Doesnt seem to be bleeding internally. She just seems to be in a lot of pain. He gave Banimine shot. Baby got a Tetnas shot. Sparkles started her set of shots as she could also be pregnant...

Thank you everyone so much. I will call a vet. I am also calling neighbors. Thanks.

and one more.

Here are photos of Jewel being so exhausted and having me worried.

She is not bleeding that I can tell but I also am maybe just worrying too much and I just have a tired horse. I get all nervous that she is bleeding internally or something like that. With goats.. it is usually a big baby or milk fever(hypocalcemia). I have no idea on horses.

It's a little filly. The filly is doing wonderful. She has nursed quite a few times. She is running around but is not wanting to take a nap. I am worried about Jewel. Something is not right. She is either in a lot of pain or .. ?? milk fever?? or just exhausted perhaps. I don't know...

Look what we woke up to this morning! I was so tired last eve. I checked her at 11pm. Then I fell sound asleep for the first time in a while. I guess I was just supposed to let her do this by herself. I am glad nothing went wrong. My husband woke up at 430.. looked out window to see a little...

I totally understand what you are going through. I am tired. We have been up and down for over a month now thinking a foal was on the way. This is a one time opportunity I don't want to miss but sure am tired.
