YAY congrats on your gorgeous new baby boy!!! he looks lovely!! and wow very tall! and Toffee looks great!

congrats Mary!!

2 safe arrivals one more to go!! come on Sox!

Toffee's little baby just tried to have a little drink, Toffee is so good standing for him! good mummy Toffee!

• WHOOPEEEEE And I was out in the barn cleaning MY mares stalls and didn't get to watch. Darn. It sounds like a wonderful NORMAL delivery! Congratulations Mary and Toffee!!!!!!!!!! I'm so excited for you!!!!!!!!
  

Did I say? I LOVE his face marking and blue eyes!

Diane, a lucky guess it was. I'm in a quandry over my two so I know 'nuthin'!

And Cassie did a really GOOD JOB of watching and reporting!

Toffee is being a good mom but back to her not-very-trusting ways. Foal has passed meconium (as soon as he saw the enema coming) and nursed. Toffee passed the placenta within 10 minutes or so of foaling. Towels are in the washer so we hope Sox waits just until they are dry so we don't have to use good towels!!

We called the vet and he will come by tomorrow to check IgG etc.

And congrats to Charlotte on guessing who would go next. Now, can you tell us when Sox will foal? She is at 315 days which is when Mira foaled.

Diane, I'm always amazed that a foal can be born, up and walking within an hour and running and bucking in the following hour! What other animal can do that?

He's certainly going to test his moms' patience!

Just wanted to point out that all my worry about the Equipage was misplaced because Toffee NEVER SET OFF THE PAGER!! She foaled without going down flat!!! No one called either - it was just chance that I was working and watching, and noticed the same things Cassie did. I am so glad Cassie was watching though, because she made sure I was aware of what was going on and then I abruptly stopped work and went out to investigate. Found foaling in progress...

Thank you Carlotte

glad I was there to watch and help hehe yes good work on guessing Toffee to go first

she was so restless last night I didn't think it could be long... but with Sox not ever showing any signs I thought she would go first... I'm just glad Mary has a gorgeous little colt and both baby and mum are healthy and that we were able to watch

One of God's miracles for flight animals!! He really does have some wonderful plans!!

Amen to that my friend!

your welcome Mary, I was watching her really close when she was going up and down so much, which is why I checked to make sure you were around... if you hadn't of posted I would have called...

now its Sox's turn and we want a hatrick you know three healthy foals

I was just out with my horses just then was thinking of washing Suzie and Finn's tails (mud is a horrid thing!) then I saw a dark cloud coming across so I started putting Smartie's rain rug on him just in case. just got it over his body and it started POURING with rain LOL he is nice and dry

but I am very wet LOL

but I am back inside and watching these gorgeous girls like I should be hehe

he is already running and bucking around hehe and poor Toffee tries to follow him everywhere! Mary can we see a video on his first adventure out please?

Congrats Mary on your gorgeous colt. Of course she waited till I was zzzzzz LOL Although I did wake and tune in and saw you taking pics and he was up on his little legs so I did breath a sigh of relief for you.

Sox is laid down resting. COME ON SOX.

Oh and I wont hesitate in calling if I so much as see her break wind and think she is foaling (just so you are aware LOL)

Numbers are in and finger hovering the call button LOL
