Born early this morning between 6-7am. We checked her the last time at 3:30 am came back in and fell to sleep . She was sound asleep herself! My husband went out to work at 7 am and went to let all the horses out and there she stood!!
Surprise! She was less than 30 mins old and already standing and walking around with the placenta hanging off her behind and wrapped around her legs. Her cord was still attached. By the time I ran to get something to clamp her cord and got back to her it broke off. This was my mares 3rd baby, but her 1st mule baby. She is very protective but is accepting us in her stall and letting the baby come to us. She has been a wonderful mother and loves the baby alot!
The baby ( a girl) comes right to us and is very independent already, she just walks away from momma and momma is the one who gets upset.
We have been all over her imprinting her and she is wondeful and has a great tempement. The jack is spotted and the mare is a bay, the baby is COAL Black! Has the prettest straight legs and cutest little head! I'm not bragging - but she is really a nice little girl!
She had it during the great full moon! Also during two hurricanes, one passing over yestarday and another coming!
Thought we might have to name her after one of them
.
Now can anyone out there tell me how to measure her to get her projected height?
Had the vet out this afternoon and they got a clean bill of health. The mare has yet to do #2 but we put some bran and oil in her feed tonight and hope that helps. Baby has done #1 so think she is clear. Just waiting on momma now!
I will try to get some pictures loaded so every one can see her.
Now we are waiting on number two mare to have her mini mule baby she was supposed to be due before this mare go figure
. I feel she has ab out two more weeks unless she surprises us also!
Maybe the next full moon?
