My APHA filly had to make due in much the same way, as her mommy didn't feel good for several hours after foaling, certainly didn't slow her down.

My little filly had to do that last year because her mom was painful. Lasted about 3 days. As long as we kept her comfy and did frequent wet meals she came thru it.
Thanks Diane. I just do not want to miss anything. Maybe I need to be pinched as its like I question how we got so many nice looking babies. We have people knocking on our door that see them on the road asking if they are for sale. Yes, we do plan to sell but heck if I know on how to price them. I have not even thought about that. All I have been thinking is are any of them nice enough to show in hand as weanlings, etc... I would like to promote our stud and stuff, so I have a lot of thinking to do....You're right Mary. I think momma is a silver black (dapple) so this little guy should stay his beautiful color!! As to your concern over a "roach back' -- you must put these ideas out of your mind. This is just a beautiful colt, with no dwarf characteristics at all. He is just a growing baby -- and there are many stages where the babies look a little "butt-high" -- but he's just PERFECT!
Great advise! Thank you!!The nice thing is you can tell them, yes, SOME will be for sale, but right now you don't know which ones. Then, you have at least 4 months before you wean -- so it gives you time before you have to commit to anyone on any one baby, unless you know of one or two that you think you might be willing to sell. As they get older, I'm sure we would all like to look at them "set up" and as so many here show, perhaps we could help you in choosing who needs to be shown.
