Maple Hollow Farms 2015 Foaling

[misty'smom]

Animals have such amazing instincts, Sassy and Freckles seem to be listening, sniffing the air and looking towards Chippy and her baby the whole time. It is almost like they are standing in a vigil for them........

 

[misty'smom]

I will try as long as I can, it is past my bedtime but I have been concerned for you all. Maybe another half hour????

 

[maplehollow]

A half he should be plenty if you can. ..thank you so much

 

[misty'smom]

Both are up and moving about......but look ok

 

[maplehollow]

Thanks, I'm back where I can see the cam so you can go to bed if you want. ...thanks so much again!

 

[misty'smom]

baby has been standing a few mins and Chippy is standing guard over her......good Momma!!!

 

[misty'smom]

Ok I will keep praying for your little girl to improve overnight and Chippy to have a quick recovery.......and prayers for you too, hope you can get some sleep, you did an awesome job tonight, God Bless You!!!!!!!

 

[Ryan Johnson]

You were brilliant Melinda

How you stayed so calm during it all was wonderful to watch. Hope bubs and Chippy will be fine, I will check in tonight after dinner

 

[lkblazin]

Wow I missed it. I hope everyone is still improving from the ordeal. Sleep is what you need at this point. You are a strong hearted person Melissa

Thanks guys! I am getting ready for a nap but figured I would do a full update now that I have time!

Filly was presented with one frontleg forward and one back and one hind leg forward, once I got all the legs rearranged then she hip locked! Seemed like it would never come out! Since she was stuck where she was it cut off the circulation in the umbilical so she wasnt getting anything. Came out with a slow heart beat and wasnt breathing. Turned the camera off and did CPR on her for about 20 min until she finally started to breathe on her own. She is now at the vet to be tube fed and to get meds for any swelling on her brain from lack of oxygen. Still not out of the woods, just keep your fingers crossed that she doesnt end up with any permanent brain damage!

But the good new is when I went for their 6am feeding I found that ELady was a sneaky girl and foaled off cam on her own, she has a minimal sorrel appy filly!

Magnum apparently got my memo about how I expected some fillies this year as so far he is 5 fillies and 0 colts!

Mom's mare Dusty that was on cam 2 also foaled this morning! A leggy chestnut colt.

Well I am off to get a good nap, keep all the kids in your thoughts! and hopefully I can have good news from the vet later today!

 

[misty'smom]

Like I said you did an amazing job last night, I dont think even a vet could have stayed as calm and collecive as you did!!!! I was in total amazment how you knew what to do and work so hard to get that baby out......I was literally biting my nails and I dont even bite my nails!!!! lol I hope after all that you did for Chippy and her filly that you have gotten some good news this afternoon??? Praying

that your little girl is ok and that you have gotten some rest you certainly deserve it!!!!!

 

[Ryan Johnson]

Perfectly said mistysmom, you were fantastic Melinda

Hope you got some rest

 

[maplehollow]

Thanks guys! I'm glad I look calm on camera since I never feel calm. ..I constantly have to remind myself to relax as the goal is to save the mare and foal and panicking never gets you anywhere lol ....haven't heard anything from the vet yet but they are really busy this time of year and have always told me that no news is generally good news so hoping all is going well. ..will call tomorrow if I don't hear from them though. Thanks again for all your help watching!

Melinda

Wow you have been busy. Congratulations on all the new babies wow

 

[misty'smom]

You mentioned in your post above about Your Mom's mare foaling on cam 2?? Is there a link to that cam??

 

[Ryan Johnson]

On the mare stare page that lists all the camera links , there is a second maple hollow cam link. Unfortunately I couldn't access it even after it asked me to sign in as a member. Just keeps coming up with "Stream not found"

let me know if you have any luck mistysmom

This beats watching anything on Tv , that's for sure

 

[Ryan Johnson]

Another Filly , Congratulations

That First look from Mumma at her foal is absolutely priceless

 

[lkblazin]

Hahaha thank you Ryan for mentioning that there is a pinned 2015 links page!!!!this whole time I keep going to were she posted it on the thread lol. I totally forgot about that pinned thread :-\ :-D

Did they all foal today? I see 2 babies, I can barely see the corner on the third. I know I watched earlier today and I did not see any babies.

 

[Maple Hollow Farm]

Sigh....I had a whole long thing written out and my computer froze up so lost it

Fae foaled on 4/21/15 a chestnut pintaloosa filly by Monte

Freckles foaled on 4/22/15 a Palomino colt by Remmy

Sassy foaled 4/22/15 a Palomino filly by Remmy

Chippy and her filly are home now too, they are in the left stall so I can keep an eye on them, Sassy and her filly are still in middle for now, no one is in the right stall.

Pics included of ELady's, Chippy's, Fae's, Freckles', and Sassy's babies

Chicky will probably be the next one brought in but waiting til she looks closer. She is at 330 today with a start to her udder but not looking serious yet.

Carrie will probably be next with a 330 day on 5/3

I will post when we add new mares to watch on both cameras.

A note on Cam 2 though is that if it is down that likely means mom is able to watch as they have very limited internet so cant leave it up and running the whole time. If the cam is on it means she needs eyes if not then she is likely watching. Here is the link to cam 2 again too, posted it a few pages back. http://www.marestare.com/fcam.php?alias=maplehollow2
