My high risk mare foaled

[Eagle]

Finally after several years of trying my mare Britt gave birth to a beautiful colt. She was induced as I wanted to make sure the vet was here and thank goodness she was cos it was a red bag and even though the vet had him out in seconds he suffered and was a dummy foal. He was born at 7.00pm Wednesday and I had to milk mum and feed him every 30 mins day and night

Wow was that hard work, until finally on Saturday morning he found mum's udder

I would like to personally thank the wonderful ladies on the Mare and Foal page for all their excellent advice and great support and for just being there for me through those VERY long nights.

Anyway here he is:

Dreaming Magic aka Merlin

There he is - our precious little Merlin!!

All we did Renee was to help you stay awake through those long days and nights when you were also trying to cope with a family and Izzy's puppies - it was your care, attention and determination (and Britt's patience and co-operation, bless her) that pulled the little fella through!

Well done my friend, it was an amazing effort!

CONGRATULATIONS Renee!!! He looks like a little doll (but don't tell him that - I am not sure boys like to hear that LOL).

I am glad it went well.
