Yes, she FINALLY blew!!! I swear it was the POP heard round the world when she finally went. I have waited and watched this mare for so long, I have forgotten how to drive, and shop, and ...and.....341 days!!!
Last night at 9:30 I noticed my mare Socks looked like she was in a full blown labor. She has done this a couple times in the last few days so I was not jumping up anytime soon let me tell ya. She has even gone to the point of laying down and pushing....hard!!! And nothing happened. She was just messing with me. so, when she finally laid down last night, I didn't get too excited. I watched her on my camera waiting to see if her water would break or she would jump back up and start eating again. She got up, and went back down, and got up and went back down pushing each time she went down. No big deal, she'd done this before too, the faker!! Finally I am watching for the splash of her water and instead, there is a little bit of white. THEN I ran to the barn, which by the way is very close to the house so it was less than 30 seconds and I was at her stall. Yep! This was it! The real deal! We had a nose and two feet! YYIIPPIIE!!!!!!!!
Within ten minutes, baby was all the way out and moving around. Twenty minutes later, up and walking. Took a while to nurse but kept going and being energetic the whole time and finally got the hang of the whole thing. Mama just has tiny..you-know-whats and they are hard to latch onto.
So, with the story behind us, we are very proud to announce the very first foal by our stallion, Las Doradas Buckeroos Gold Echo.
Gypsy Winds Amazing Grace (filly!!!)
She is very sweet and my pictures do not her justice. She has quite the neck on her and is very upheaded and correct. And just has a great personality. Legs for days too!!! She is 23 inches and has an 8 inch cannon.
