At night either my number 319-560-1859 or my husbands 319-551-9008 will work. During the day make sure to call my number first and then his if you cant get through to me. I am home pretty much everyday all day, he works during the day. Thanks so much for helping watch. I just hope she gets a move on and doesnt drag it out forever!

That darn mare is driving me crazy (er). She acts so uncomfortable and just when I think she is actually going to start doing something, she falls asleep!!! UGH! Im going to take a nap, will tell my hubby to wake me up when he goes to bed so I can keep an eye on her a bit longer, dont be afraid to call if you think she is getting serious! My eyes are burning though, I am not good at pulling all nighters LOL! Thanks bunches

[Maple Hollow Farm]

I really need to teach my mares to foal during the day or else I need to develop a taste for coffee LOL! Thanks for calling, I would have slept right through it . She is a pretty leggy girl, probably going to be a tall A. Quite a contrast to her full sister which I believe is an under 30" from what her owner told me LOL! Cant wait for her to unfold, I cant believe all that baby was in ELady as she wasnt all that big! Anyhoo pics in a bit, had to come back for bigger blankets and the camera. Not used to this size of baby, most of my blankets are for small to med. A size LOL! O yea and Sorrel
