Oh wow, what a scary ordeal you have been through! I'm so sorry for the loss of your foal, and sending prayers and good thoughts for your mare.

Thanks everyone for your kind words. Lita is doing well, has passed the 24 hour mark no problems. My husband had to give her a shot of penycylan in the behind and she tried to kick him, which to me is a good sign, means she is feeling better as this morning she didn't hardly move when we gave her shot of penycylan. I am just happy she is doing well.

Danielle_E. yes I am glad Carmelita is doing well. I think this was one of the worst foalings ever for me. Not only was it a redbag, the foal was breach and had to be pulled. Then the mare prolapsing her uterus on top of it. Just am so relieved she is doing well. I know you have a fondness for Carmelita since she stayed with you for awhile. You are more than welcome to come see her if you wish.

Thanks Shana for the invite but at the moment I have my hands full with watching my mare, Crystal, who is due to foal very soon. She lost her foal last year so I am sticking pretty close to home these days, don't want a repeat of last year. She does seem to have a parttern of having her foals anywhere between 2:30 a.m. and 5:00 a.m. but because this pregnancy was a phantom pregnancy - Jagger my yearling got at her, I don't have fixed dates. I know it can be anywhere from now till approximately Sept. 6th. I have told myself that should she lose this foal this year I am done breeding for good. It's not worth the heartache nor the chance of losing my mares. I guess I am just not cut-out for the heartache that can go along with this. It's funny but this year I am not "excited" like I have been in the past, I have more a sense of "dread" which is not a good thing.

Yes Carmelita stayed here when she first arrived in Canada when my friend Val owned her. Her last year's foal also stayed here last year for awhile until he found his forever home down the street from me.

Hugs to you, you have had a difficult birthing year. I am just so happy that you didn't lose Carmelita in the process with a breech birth and that you were there to help her. Send good vibes my way so that all goes well here. Take care.
