Another Horrible presentation monday morning with our 4th baby born
Had to get the vet out again(poor vet! We sadly lost a stunning filly 4 days prior due to being in sitting dog position, luckily we eventually managed to get the foal out with out damaging the mare but it was to late for the baby
- This was the first foal we had ever lost, and of course it was the perfect filly we were hoping to get as a future stand in for her mom who is a 17yr old Buckaroo daughter, was heart breaking for us all!
The foal born monday morning - my buckaroo bred mare was in labour and she had been getting up and down for 5mins - she was only having the odd strong contraction which was really strange! waters still had not broken and we new there was a problem as she is a mare that gets the whole job done in 10mins.
Vet got here in 5 mins, we are very lucky to have our vet only living 1km down the road - We soon found out why her waters had not broken!!
Foals head and both front legs were tucked down pointing towards the head of the mare between the foals hind legs with the back of his neck jammed up against the pelvic bone!
Some how the vet managed to get the foals head and both front legs forward while we kept the mare standing so he had more room to work.
Result - A beautiful Bay or buckskin amha colt alive and well! We were all shocked the little guy was alive when he was pulled out as the vet said that he has not had great success with these kinds of presentations.
This is one lucky little baby and he is a gorgeous boy at that!
We can't thank our vet enough for saving both this little guy and my precious broodmare!
We had had to call out the vet 3 times out of 4 foalings now, we have 2 mares left to foal, and we are praying that these last 2 go smoothly for us!
Here are a few photo's of the little Trooper. We have named him BM Cadence's King of Thieves - because he has stolen all our hearts!
