FIlly filly filly LOL. I really want a filly but at this point i want to see what has taken so long to cook. its going to be a long exciting night. The baby's daddy's owner is coming over to help incase I need it
Oh great - does this mean that you will have some company while you are waiting? Just remember what Renee said earlier - once the foal is here and checked over, leave her and the baby alone to get bonded. Obviously keep an eye on them to make sure they are ok, but this s a very important time for a mare and her new baby and human interference can stress the mare and confuse the baby. No need to feel a rush to get HER to feed either, left alone, most foals will find the milk bar within an hour or two, left to themselves.
You must be getting so excited, I know we are. Still saying prayers for a safe, smooth foaling.
2 more cow patty piles. smaller but all within the last hour. Looks like Im getting 2 piles per hour so far. Heres a new bag picture and look at the coloring in her hooha
LOL!! Diane, we posted the same advice at the some time!! Yes it will help Lily if you put gentle pressure on the foal's legs to help her out - save Lilly a bit of effort too!!
I'm so excited right now!! It's almost like Mary is the one foaling, so great! What an awesome way to keep us busy and content while we wait for our own mares to foal.
Lily is finally so close- I can't imagine her holding that baby in much longer! It's going to be so exciting to see what this long awaited filly looks like!
Hoping to see an update with some great news very soon!
Look at that head, I love its little bump- but i bet that was hard to pass! Her little spots are so cute! Woohoo! I bet you are so happy- a gorgeous little FILLY!!!!
CONGRATULATIONS TO YOU AND LILY!!!
AND HAPPY BIRTHDAY LITTLE FILLY!! (any thoughts on a name?)
Ill post more pictures in a few. making sure baby is nursing and pooping right noe. babys head was big. mom has a few tiny tears...they arent bleeding so I think they will be okay. anyone know if I should put anything on these tears?
Thanks. Everyone is doing great baby is definately nursing well and has pooped about 5 times already LOL. Mom is hanging in there shes not doing bad just up and down because of the contractions but is very sweet to her baby. Im going to watch and make sure mom goes potty because baby's first hoof went up instead of out I had to reach in and bring it down to the exit it was aimed up towards her butt I want to make sure no damage was done. I let her push for awhile before I went in to help. Baby had a big head so there are a few tears on mom but nothing big....none of them are bleeding so I will keep ointment on them and see how they will do. After mom goes potty I can go to bed
