Maple Hollow Farms Foaling Camera *New Pics :-D*

[cassie]

oh how annoyng for you,

still very agitated! I agree that I think she is close! she sure is acting like a mare close to foaling!

I think as soon as she lies down she will foal

12:56 am camera time and she is very agitated- stall walking, pawing, backing up, belly kicking, tail swishing and nose to the ground. Definite first stage labor. Praying all goes well!

I need to lay down for a bit as my eyes are burning and I can barely even focus! Please call if you think she is finally going to get started! I am setting a bunch of alarms to wake me up periodically. If I dont answer the first number listed on the marestare screen, call the second one, that is my husband's number. I just know the second I fall asleep she will start but at this point even 5 seconds of sleep could be a lifesaver LOL!!!

No worries Melinda, I am here and watching. She looks restless but she ALWAYS acts like this at this time of night so it is hard to say if it is labour or not. We will see

Morning Renee

Are you able to watch both Ellie and Laney for a while?

I'm about to finish work and have to head home and feed the ponies and then I'll be back watching as I have to get some studying done. please msg me if either go

thanks!

 

[Eagle]

no worries Cassie, I will do

 

[cassie]

I'm back

still no foal from our sweet Ellie she seems to have settled down some more though... come on girl. stop drop and foal!!

 

[bannerminis]

All I see is her pacing and I even tuned in through the night (I bit the bullet and brought the laptop LOL) and she was still pacing. She has walked miles

 

[Eagle]

Diane she has been doing this ALL night. Look out Melinda she might be waiting to foal outside

 

[Maple Hollow Farm]

OMG I can not believe this mare! She is driving me absolutely insane, I thought for sure she was going to go when she was kicking her belly and then went down and back up last night, I have watched her every night fairly late and never saw her quite that agitated! I am sooooo getting the plunger out!

 

[Eagle]

I say go with the plunger

 

[Sandy B]

What???? Ellie did not foal????

I thought for sure I would wake up and see a baby. What the heck is all that pacing, pawing, rubbing, tummy bitting, tail swishing, belly kicking, stretching, head swinging all about??? Crazy mare! Spit it out!

On a side note, I love the peaks I get sometimes of the lil one next door playing.

 

[bannerminis]

Finally some action and Ellie is foaling. Keeping everything crossed for you

 

[bannerminis]

Come on Ellie, I hope the baby is ok

 

[bannerminis]

Oh Congrats and welcome to the world little one. Fantastic job getting that baby out WELL DONE

 

[Eagle]

yippeeeeeeee Congrats Melinda and Ellie

 

[MeganH]

COLT! CONGRATS!

 

[bannerminis]

Its a pinto COLT. Congrats again he looks like a little beauty

 

[Sandy B]

Woohoooo!! Got to watch just in time!!! That was the first live mini horse foaling I have seen

. Boy was I a nervous wreck for you and I caught myself grimacing and tightened up pulling that baby with you. Was the foal presented normal? And do you normally have to pull that much and that hard with these minis?

CONGRATS on a gorgeous what looks to be pinto baby!!

 

[little lady]

Wow! I was holdn my breath on that one! Congrats on the colored colt.
