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

[Eagle]

As long as the foal arrives safely on the ground it doesn't matter who goes first. Can you not lift the cam up so it covers both stalls? Just an idea.

I thought of that but cant get the cam up much higher if any and not sure the lense is wide enough to cover both stalls. My biggest problem is that I dont have anywhere else to mount it that would be more central. I could try to remount it on the far wall right above the stall divider but that will have the camera closer than it is now so will narrow its range even more. If I feel they both might actually go at the same time I will try to move it otherwise whoever has the bigger bag will be under cam LOL! Dream is a lay down and spit em out kind of mare so I felt safer leaving her out of under cam but Buttons foaled standing up last year so I felt like she needed watching more.

Ok It was just a thought to help you out, do you test the milk?

 

[Maple Hollow Farm]

I do have a milk test kit, just havent tested them yet. Might do that tonight.

While we wait here are some new pics of Freckles' lil girl. Taking new pics today since it is nice enough to turn babies out!

Oh isnt she just so sweet. Looks like she is enjoying her time outside

 

[Eagle]

she is such a doll!

 

[MeganH]

Gosh she is adorable!

 

[Maple Hollow Farm]

Thanks, she is adorable and sooo full of herself. Here are a few of Babe's filly. You will have to forgive her tongue sticking out in some of the pictures as she plays with her tongue and sticks it out the side of her mouth....if any of you have tips on how to get her to stop doing this please share, never had a foal do this before!

That is very cute,probably not that great in the show ring though

I have never seen anything like it

Have you checked her mouth? Has she done it since day 1?

I have seen show horses that get bored and play with their tongue but never a new foal. She has done it since she was born. She was born outside when it was windy and I am thinking her tongue got a bit dry and sticky if you know what I mean and got stuck there and now she thinks that is where it belongs! I put it back in and she sticks it back out. Nothing appears wrong with her mouth or her tongue except that she wants to stick it out LOL! I am hoping that if I keep sticking it back in that she will learn not to do it, I even thought of puting something that wont taste good in the corner of her mouth but was too worried that it would affect her nursing so decided not to. I know this sounds a bit mean but the best luck I have had so far was lightly pinching the tip of her tongue when it is out and she quickly puts it back in her mouth. I just dont think it is good for her tongue to stay dry that much. It doesnt seem to be hurting it now but would just rather she keep it in her mouth or people are going to start thinking she is rude and sticking her tongue out at them LOL!

I know two youngsters that do the tounge thing! Both since foals, one does it 'on command' when you tickle the side of his mouth

cracks us up!

 

[MBhorses]

congrats so cute.

OK I fixed the cam, had a loose connection in the barn. At least now I know which one to check first if it does it again! Diane, I had sooo many people help me and give me words of comfort during the time Buttons was lost that I still cannot express enough gratitude for everyone's help!

Sooo Faith didnt have her tongue out when I got home tonight and she was laying down sleeping so that was a good sign as she usually sleeps with it out. She did stick it out a little when she got up but not for the rest of the time I was feeding. Hopefully that means she will stop doing it all the time at least. It is cute but needs to make it only on command if she wants a show future LOL!

Also for those that are now noticing, Buttons is not on cam, Dream is. I ran an accidental test of sorts today... I turned Buttons and Dream out for some excercise and BOTH of them ran off their udders, they were not getting along so I put them away after a short play time since they were being naughty! Anyways Buttons udder has not come back all the way yet but Dream's is back to where it was and she feels kind of warm tonight. She also has no tail resistance but its so hard to tell with her as she always carries her tail in the air. I am just going with my instinct this time since I ignored myself with Babe, Dream just seems very different in shape, really dropped or narrower looking so she is making me think she is closer which she should be since she is 341 days!

O yea and here are some new pictures of Destiny's colt and Hallie's filly!

 

[palsminihorses]

Ok but I will stop sharing again if you dont follow through on that sprite LOL! I am needing some spotty fillies!! I shouldnt complain too much though I do have live healthy foals, and my appy ones do have either spots or characteristics so they arent truly solid!

Okay Melinda! You shared the Filly Fairy, but apparently kept the Spot Sprite!! Came home to find that my Brandy had foaled during the day and all by herself!! I'll share the story on PALS thread.

 

[Maple Hollow Farm]

ROFL!!! Well I will go over and check it out, but I wont know if you sent the spot sprite to the right place until one of my girls foals!!!

 

[palsminihorses]

Melinda, you really have some nice foals! But I would have to say that Freckles' filly is one of my favorites! Just beautiful!!

 

[Maple Hollow Farm]

Thanks Pam, she is a super cutie! I cant pick a favorite since I love them all but I am pretty smitten with my buckskin pinto boy, kind of wanting to hang on to him! My problem is that I want to keep them all LOL!

 

[bannerminis]

All quiet with Dream. She was down resting for a while and now its back to hoovering time

 

[LittleBittyBritches]

Beautiful babies!
