WOOHOO!! Congrats!! How cute. This must be the second sneaky mare in a row. Hope its not a new trend!!!

WOO HOO!! Told you that a baby was coming!! MANY CONGRATULATIONS!! What a gorgeous little filly - love those markings too! Well done Charm!

Dont forget the small mushy feeds and if the weather is suitable, out for grazing time as well today. Oh and dont forget the ivermectin wormer too!

Please be very careful about getting between her and the foal, never a good idea especially for the first few days. And get that tail of hers unbraided as soon as possible for the foal's sake.

Ooooops, sorry about all the 'reminders', just typing them as they flow through my head and I do know how easy it is to forget things with all the excitement of a new baby.

Again many congrats - cant wait for more pics - maybe outside ones!!

Keep forgetting... Yes, that was waxing, thre was a whole lot more by midnight. First poo has also passed.

 

[Vansplic]

No problem in the reminders! I have tried to keep the foal between us but Charm seems OK as long as I interact with the foal on the foals terms and leave Charm alone. Will get the tail undone and the ivermectin in her in a little bit... Mom is just not tolerating me distracting her from her foal! Yes, they will be able to graze today too!

Oh my word, CONGRATULATIONS She is just adorable Well done Charm

Make sure you move Charm so the filly is in front of her, then just worm her, take her plait out and then leave them alone for the rest of the night to bond.

I am so happy for you.

Look at this adorable nose!

 

[Vansplic]

Ok, mom was LIVID but wormer down and tail undone!

 

[Eagle]

great, now you can all get some rest. What time is it there?

 

I KNEW IT!!!!!! Medicine had me sleeping, but I KNEW IT!!!!

She is BEAUTIFUL!! CONGRATULATIONS!!! LOVE that precious little face!

Sounds like everything went just fine -- and another perfect little one safely on the ground!!

I got to bed around 2am. Now to get the kid off to school and make blankets. The temps here have dropped a lot since she foaled. I have heat lamps but they don't seem to be cutting it. If I use Velcro on flease will that break easy enough should she get tied up? I can't leave the current one I have on her while I am gone but I feel like she needs something. It is 32ish here and she is fuzzy but not that fuzzy.

Dry fluffy pics when I get home from the school run! I am thinking sorrel with socks, snip and star? Looks like her belly is while but she doesn't stand still long enough to tell. She is an absolute lover though! Mom doesn't seem phased by anything I do with her as long as the foal is not phased. If the foal is happy charm is happy. Charm does seem to be confused by all the attention though.

 

[Eagle]

Yes velcro works just fine. I can't wait to see the dry pics. I am so happy that all went well for you and charm.

Yippeeee Diane, another safe baby to add to "our" herd

Congratulations! What an adorable filly! The easiest way to tell if it's a filly or a colt is to lift the tail and check there... Much easier to see a girl "part" than the boy! I'm so glad everything went good!

Congratulations She is such a cutie!!

 

[lexischase]

Sooooooo cute! Congratulations

 

[Vansplic]

OK, sorry... out playing with the baby. Charm doesn't seem to mind as long as it is on the babies terms. OMG there is NOTHING like new foal smell!!! quick someone bottle it!

Baby seems to be doing well. still a lot of jerky motions but she is outside with momma and there are some pesky flies so I am thinking she just is not coordinated enough to flick one spot without knocking herself half way over. She is an absolute lover and just starts a rocking if you give her scritches.

[SummerTime]

Awe... What a cutie! I totally agree! That smell should be bottled!!

 

[chandab]

Congrats! What a little cutie.

 

[Riverrose28]

Congratulations, what a cutie.

 

[Vansplic]

Thanks everyone!!!!

Moms bag is not very big, should I be concerned? I have milk replacer if I need to supplement.

The only sign I saw from mom last night was her milk color and Ph dropping... thank goodness for those pool strips!!!!

Now onto figuring out a name for this little one!

 

[atotton]

Congrats, sweet baby.

 

[Vansplic]

Baby is still straining to poo. should I pick up another enima or is this normal? she did pass her first poo last night but I have seen her struggle several times over the last hour and not get anything out.

Thanks!
