BHR - Mare foaling now on MS

[HGFarm]

Gosh, my foals are usually up in minutes and the mares shortly after- neither of them have even tried to get up. Hope they are both ok.

I was thinking the same thing! poor things! she is a lovely looking filly though

Mare is finally up but baby still isnt... lot of commotion going on in there... perhaps the mare and foal just need to have some time together.... the mare doesnt seem to want to get in the people's way so is not really attending to the foal that much in my opinion.

its hard... the poor thing had a rough start! I thought that was a quite awful delivery.... poor thing!

I couldn't watch the cam on this computer but that sounded like a very rough delivery. Hope everything is ok.

Yeah, dont know if they'll post pics. That is a full sized horse so dont even know if those folks are Forum members.

It was a red bag and the mare was tired and not pushing. The owner was great and pulled the very big filly out fast. Both are doing well.

Don't you just love a happy ending

They posted a pic on MS

OMG, didnt realize it was a redbag! They did do a great job- glad they are both ok! And again, glad I wasn't there- it was tough- and that filly was big!

I knew it was a red bag when they had the scissors out, to cut the sack... they did such a great job!
