Well saturday night I woke up after watching at 2:00 a.m a terrible storm outside with loads of light work ,strong winds and much thunder and rain only to hear a knock at my door. Neighbour asked if I was missing 2 horses - I looked out to my pasture only to find that the wind blew over their portable garage/shelter and busted part of the fence and saw no boys in there but I did see my momma to be - who still had 2 1/2 weeks to go. And the neighbours wife with a rope around my 2 boys who were found wandering down the highway
good thing it was early morning and there was no traffic going by from people traveling home from the lake. Momma was in a different corral so I knew she was ok.
Well horses first before bug spray and after much bites from the devils I mended the fence and put the boys back into their corral area.
now I will have to fix their shelter and really anchor it down good this time. Sunday was pretty wet as well and after checking momma she looked ok and I moved her from her small corral and barn out to the bigger corral for the night but she still had access to her barn.
Monday morning at 6:20 a.m I went out to move momma back to her small barn area and give her- her hay and treats for the day so I could let my boys out to feed on the grass but momma was no place in sight - then I noticed on the ground in front of the barn her placenta (sp)bag laying there
I heard a weird noise and looked to see momma by the corral rails in the far side then wondered where or what happened to the baby -----
the foal was outside the corral - guess I now had to catch her - yes she is a filly looked like she may have been only a hour or so old - picked her up and put her on the right side of the corral then walked momma with baby back to the barn to dry baby off and to see what the foal was. Sorry for long story but it was a very buisy weekend
Now here is baby I named Bella Blue - Bell for short
The person I bought the pregnant mare from has become over time my best frien and since she lost her last mare and the baby I told her that she could name the new filly .
