Diane I am so glad that you are here, you are such a great support to us all.

 

[cassie]

he certainly is so very cute!! poor Apeil I hope she feels better soon... poor mumma girl!!

Hazel I hope they both settle down soon so you can get some much needed rest!!

 

[cassie]

I can't believe how much April is still lying down after having the bannemine, I see you out there Hazel does she seem alright to you or are you concerned?

Diane what are your thoughts? being still such a newbie to all of this I wonder if she is ok, 'lol baby is standing on mummas tail LOL poor April

 

[cassie]

yay finally baby is able to have aa drink good girl April

 

[a mini dream come true]

I think the banamine is kicking in and I gave April some warm mash. We know how much she loves to eat. He has found the milk bar and had a wiz, but no poo yet. Maybe wioth him getting a good drink that will relieve some of the presure on her udder. I was still VERY hard.

Diane thank you so much for your help tonight.

I was beginning to panic. You always know the right thing to say to make me feel better. Thank you

 

[cassie]

so glad to hear things are settling down for you hazel

gosh you need a good night sleep now definitley!!! what a night!!

 

[cassie]

haha oh April!1 your poor baby!!

 

[AnnaC]

I'm so glad April is now feeling more comfortable, bless her! Was just reading the 'time' on everyone's posts and am a little concerned that the banamine took around an hour to kick in? Maybe you only gave her a mild dose Hazel to be safe, but if the effect wears off in a couple of hours (should last 4 - 6 hours) then I would have a word with your vet just in case the banamine dose is hiding a minor problem. That said, I'm sure April will be fine because she was just 'laying' down, as in needing to rest/being uncomfortable, and not rolling, as in early colic symptoms.

He certainly is very handsome, and a lovely strong little fella. Pity he's not a filly coz you could have called him May, but once he gets out and about perhaps Mayhem will suit. LOL!!

 

[a mini dream come true]

Thank you Anna, I will be keeping an eye on her for a while yet and It may be mayhem at least from April's point of view

. Too cute.

 

[a mini dream come true]

Cassie, Renee thank you for the great pics. love them and I'll post some in a bit. Poor little guy is still being used for a pillow and he is still kicking his protest.

 

[cassie]

cant wait to see some proper pics after you get some sleep of course Hazel

they both seem to be doing really well now

 

[LittleBittyBritches]

Oh man, if I just had stayed up a bit longer.... Congrats on the handsome man! Sounds like you did a great job during a difficult time.

 

[chandab]

It sure does.

Congrats! Can't wait to see some pictures (I don't have good reception on the mare stare cam).

11.30am and April looking good - relaxed and eating her hay.

 

[a mini dream come true]

WOW! what a night.

. I'm going to need help with a name. Haven't even thought of a name for a boy. ANy way here are a few pics of our little cutie

 

[AnnaC]

Oh he is just gorgeous Hazel - what a big boy too, no wonder April has been feeling so uncomfortable after foaling!

His blaze is much more central than it looked to me just after he was born - guess it was the angle he was at from the camera. In the pictures April looks as though she is really proud of him - she's going to be such a good Momma, bless her!

 

[Sandy B]

Oh my he is a big boy and very handsome! He looks just like mom! Congratulations on acting quickly and getting him delivered safely. Poor momma is sore and tired I am sure, bless her heart.

 

[Eagle]

Hazel he is such a handsome boy

you must be really chuffed

CONGRATULATIONS GRANDMA

 

[a mini dream come true]

Thank ya'll. I am so proud of him

. He is doing real good. I didn't know that newborns would nicker. It is so cute to hear him. I just love the sound of his little voice

. April is a very good mom. She has plenty of milk. While I was out there earlier he was drinking on one side an milk was dripping on the other. I think he has had a poo. I finally got close enough to see some dry remants on his little behind.

three cheers for baby poop
