My mare is driving me crazy! xD What do you guys think??

[PrettyPonies]

Thank you! Shasta wasn’t up and down at all last night, acted pretty much the same as she has the last few weeks, I was up at 6 and then dozed off at 6:15ish and then woke up at 6:40 and she had literally dropped the baby seconds before I checked on her!! Thankfully it seemed like a quick easy delivery for her. I checked her placenta and it was whole so she expelled it all. Baby has been up and nursing and has pooped several times. He’s doing great, very healthy and frisky. He’s bucking and kicking, very playful! Mama is doing great too, she’s a wonderful mama! [

So Shasta has not pooped since she gave birth this morning is that normal? She hasn’t eaten much since this morning though….

From personal experience of childbirth it all gets a bit squeezed and compressed and bruised from pushing. Also dehydration can factor! Making milk requires a lot of water. lol but I am not a horse nor have any experience of foaling and postpartum mares .

How's Shasta doing?

 

[PrettyPonies]

She’s doing great, she ate last night and pooped. She also seems to be drinking well. Also the baby is doing good! He’s an ornery little guy! I think I settled on the name Chief….

 

[Taz]

Wonderful to hear!! Any pictures you feel like sharing at any time would be welcomed
Now you get the weekend to play with Chief

 

[PrettyPonies]

Okay! My phone was dead this morning so I didn’t get new ones of him yet but I’ll get some more this afternoon I did get a picture of his sire though, the stud is older so he’s lightening up a bit but he use to be a darker dappled chocolate color
