Good job Amanda,

I bet you are glad that is over, phewwwwwwww

CONGRATULATIONS

A beautiful colt!

 

[Eagle]

Buffy you are all alone and left out, we will only invite you to the party if you have your baby too

 

[Bonny]

Congrats Amanda!!!

 

[Eagle]

Looks like carmel is in a bit of pain poor girl. Little boy is very happy though

Unfortunately my vet does not give banamine without an appoointment and he is not working today. I'll be watching her to make sure she settles soon. She had a had time passing hte placenta so she is still having aftercramps I'm sure. Poor girl.

 

[Bonny]

I missed the birth, sorry that she had a hard time again.

 

[weerunner]

She's doing well now and baby has figured out the nursing thing. Whew, one more to go and I'll be done for the year.

 

[Eagle]

5.50pm and the stall is empty, are they out for some fresh air?

 

[weerunner]

Took them out for the little guy to get some exercise on those pasterns and to give Carmel some real green grass, which she loved. Not long just a few minutes but it seems to have settled her cramping down a bit more.

Many congratulations Amanda and well done Carmel!!

Hope Carmel feels better soon!

 

[Wings]

Glad to hear you've got one safely here!

My vet reckons there is nothing better then good grass for a horse feeling 'off' so I reckon you've done just the right thing for Carmel

 

[Bonny]

Glad she is better

Now lets see your foal Buffy!

 

[cassie]

big congratulations Amanda, he is gorgeous!! hope Carmel is feeling better now

what a good girl giving you such a handsome colt... well done!

come on Buffy! your mummy wants to sleep! lol

pics of the little guy. His name is Kato (my daughter named him) 6.5 inch cannon bone, he's a fine tiny fellow for sure.

He's a bit down in the pasterns, but according to everything I've research that will most likely fix itself shortly. I see improvement just in 12 hours.

 

[palsminihorses]

Congratulations on your beautiful, colorful colt! So glad you were there to help out. What a good mama, too!

So if his cannon bone from coronet to middle of knee is 6.5 inches, I'm calculating him finishing at 28 inches!!! Wow ,not sure where that came from as mom is 33.5 and dad is 33.75 inches. He is a tiny little thing. WAlks under his momma without having to duck at all.

 

[weerunner]

Ok, Buffy is out in the paddock today, but just did a milk check and she is at 6.0 pH. Which is 12 hours or less to foaling. Please let this be true. My sister is coming up to foal out with me, she has never seen a live foaling. So it sure would be nice if Buffy would wait until Claire gets here, and then go ahead and let little one out.

I'll be putting Buff in shortly as it is extremely hot out there today and she looks kinda miserable.

 

[AnnaC]

Oh Kato is just so very cute - fabulously coloured too!!

I'm sure that after a few trips into the outside world, he will soon be up on his pasterns for you! I believe he is a first foal for Carmel? Most of the time first foals are a bit smaller than those that follow.

Sending prayers for a smooth and safe foaling for Buffy - hopefully while Claire is with you.

 

[weerunner]

Anna, Kato is Carmels second foal. Not sure why he is so ultra tiny, but I'm very pleased with him. He is walking better on his rear hooves already instead of down on his fetlocks. And they dont stop him from running around and driving mom batty. If he goes around behind her she has to spin to keep her eye on him, which keeps her pretty busy when he gets wound up.
