Mare Starers...

[Matt73]

She's yanking on that little one in between contractions! Leave her alone...She looks fine; she only gets agitated when she yanks in between. Aaaarrrrrggghhh.

 

[twilightranch]

OMG poor mare!

 

[SilverDollar]

OMG!

Is this how it's supposed to go? I just turned it on and she's foaling. Is she having trouble or is this "normal"??

Does the person usually help this much?? Ack!!

 

[dreaminmini]

Coming from a newbie in regards to horses giving birth, does it usually take this long or is she having trouble? I'm worried for the little one.

 

[Gena]

I hope its not a hip lock. I feel so bad for her

 

[Matt73]

For big ones it can...But...it does seem a bit of a tight squeeze...

 

[Matt73]

Making progress

 

[SilverDollar]

What's a hip lock? Oh, I don't know how you breeders do this! She looks tired. Is the foal okay with all this?? Sorry, I've never actually seen a horse foal!

 

[Matt73]

Maybe not. Come on, Girl!

 

[SilverDollar]

Matt, do you think the baby is okay? I cringe every time the mare lays down near the stall wall. It looks like the baby is moving it's legs. Could it be stuck?? Saying prayers for these two.

 

["City Slicker"]

It looks like it's stuck OMG! and I think it's rear legs are comming first....

the poor woman is just freaking!! got to be bad situation there!

 

[dreaminmini]

OH NO!!! I hope you are wrong!!

I'm still praying.

 

["City Slicker"]

it is the rear legs! she just got the other out, this is NOT good!

 

[Matt73]

It's OUT!

 

["City Slicker"]

[SilverDollar]

The baby is out! But I can't see it, the mare is blocking it. I need a drink!

 

[dreaminmini]

[dreaminmini]

I saw it moving!!! PLEASE!!!

 

[Matt73]

They're not too concerned. So I'm sure it's fine

 

["City Slicker"]
