Peanut Blessed me with a

[Eagle]

7.10am and he got up, had a good stretch, (so cute) breakfast for 2 minutes and then straight back to bed.

5 minutes later and he is up and playing

It took me a while to find them, pictures on page 286. Too cute!

Help, no bag, I understand it gets bigger and smaller but even if I milk nothing is there..,.hungry baby getting nothuing help asaP

 

[Eagle]

Calm down, maybe you checked just after baby had fed.

 

[MeganH]

LOVE the pictures! He is precious!

You can't get any milk from PN's bag??

 

[Eagle]

Peanut is such a good mum, it is a real joy to watch them but I really need to clean the house before I lose the kids. Lol

Those pics are just gorgeous and looks like he escaped the grey gene.

He looks to have a few white hairs on the swirl in the middle of his forehead so he might have the makings of a small star.

He really is beautiful and he is doing everything a normal baby will do.

I often see the foals latch on the the teat furthest away and like Diane said I think its actually easier.

The will feed often and might only take a swallow each time but seem to do well that way.

o.k. Im calmer...watched him on and off and after seeing what someone wrote maybe all is well. he just never seems to take more than a couple swallows of milk if that from a tip then to the next..sort of back and forth like hes not getting any from 1 so lets try the other. I actually tried to milk her..well not really milk but just to see if there was anything and she gave me nothing..guess I'll just keep close eye on Cams behavior.

1st time out PN was wild running bucking just letting it all out she did this for 5 min..w/Cam chasing right next to her. At one pt. she accidently kicked him in the mouth..luckily it wasnt real hard just a nick but scarey.

Will put the halter on her and walk her around out side for a bit if she doesnt seem to go out on her own..still pretty bright, sunny out now...maybe shell feel better if its a little less bright...who knows but I'll keep an eye on both.Thanks for calming me down.

glad you like the photos

Renee, I do like his color..I just dont think its a real flashy color...spots or some other markings. And your house? Mines the same way..i just tell people Ive started the halloween decor early!!

karina...my neighbor is going to take photos out side on sat. wait till you see...there is much more light color hair popping up every where ???

 

[Lindi-loo]

I was really worried just like you with my mares last foal..he would take a quick suck and off but he would do it alot i kept thinking he wasnt getting anything but he turned out just fine..they are a worry not really sure why we put ourselves through it lol..i guess the enjoyment outweighs the worries eh

hes gorgeous

Just adding my reassurance to what is posted above about milk supply.

Zaky is a vigorous drinker, way more than his sisters were.

He keeps Zoe stripped all the time ... her bag looks empty

where with the girls she looked like a milking Jersey.

Just a couple days ago Peanut was a pregnant mare and now she's

the Mom. She will come around to full milking, soon, if she

isn't already.

The more Cam drinks the more Peanut will produce, which in turn

he will continue to drink..

 

[LittleRibbie]

Thank you...looks like that must be what it is...he does nurse alot but just short bursts. diane and all of you have said the same...supply and demand so Im sure she is fine although i just feel the bag should be full. but if hes drinking it it wont be but shes now making more and more...Thank you ..makes perfect sense!!

 

[LittleRibbie]

Enjoyed our first family stroll around the property today..so much fun and Cam seemed so happy

He just wants to explore everything and he loves to get mom mad by running behind bushes and getting much much to far ahead...peanut punishes him with a nip on the behind and hes off doing the same darn thing...kids...thet never learn!

 

[Lindi-loo]

Theyr so much fun arnt they..amazing how you can see theyr characters coming through already..deff keep mums on theyr toes

Sorry I haven't posted much, been a bit busy the past couple of days, and there's always a load of 'catch up' reading to do.

Heidi, if you think you couldn't take your eyes off Cameron for the first couple of days that he was in his stable with Peanut, you are going to have real fun now he's outside for his run about stints. There is nothing more entertaining than watching a new baby exploring a whole new world - it's the biggest time waster that I know off, and the most plesurable!!

I cant wait for some 'outside' pictures - no chance of a little video as well I suppose??

ps I tried to pm you but your 'box' is full! Please find time to do some reading and deleting if you can.

 

[LittleRibbie]

hi Anna,To Late !! Ive already been bitten by the "Playful Pleasure Bug"...oh lordy hes such a character already. just needs to explore everything....much to Miss chunky Peanuts displeasure. Im thrilled b/c it will get alittle of Peanuts extra weight off. Tonight Im actually making them stay out till dark...i closed the stall door so Peanut can not herd him backin. All the other horses are far away so in theory she should be able to relax....although Cams not giving her much time to do even that. hes all boy, rearing and bucking already. Hes actually becoming very friendly until Peanut puts her snout in the way and pushes him away from me....how quickly they forget!!

hubby says my maternity leave is just about up...he didnt buy the "well he's not 18 yet" story. So now i have to start earning my keep. ...drats. Luckily we do have a busy August but i still wish i could spend every waking moment w/the horses. Oh well...a few more years i guess. Well I need to go out and watch them play some more before dark. Hope all is well w/Cathy and all your fur kids.

Does anyone know how to delete all PMs at once w/o doing each one separately/

 

[LittleRibbie]

I thought i tried that....lets try again!!

Thank you...notice how mean i am....locking mom and son out of the barn LOL....is that like pushing baby bird out of the nest

 

[bannerminis]

Awww he just sounds so adoreable - like Kay you have a time sucker on your hands LOL.

I have 2 that follow me everywhere and each one demanding their scratches and so it takes me a lot longer to get my jobs done in the evening. They are just so darn cute looking for their scritchy scratchies that I cant resist.

 

[cassie]

I still can't wait for that to be me!!! You guys with your gorgeous little foals are making me sooo jealous!! Lol karina if my foal is half as cute n playful as your filly I'll be very pleased!!! Lol

About to go check up on our gorgeous little cam!!

 

[LittleRibbie]

Karina, just looked at the pictures you submitted to the show....great shot...I love the mini "horse trailer" pull!!

Also anyone interrested in a nice close up of Annie...shes, I think in the best baby picture and there are 2 pictures in the before and after shots of rescue horses...those rescuers deserve some major standing ovations!!

go check em out!!

I'm pretty sure Cam is going to shave off black bay like hie brother Timmy and that ain't bad. Timmy was always a stunner and you add a pretty halter to that solid bay colt and you are all set.

Now here's the real good news. ALL Nick's get are SANE! Every last one of them are born athletes in miniature and have wonderful "using" minds. Cam will be smart and easy to train like the rest of his siblings. They have all been delightful and never once a problem with any of them and Cam won't be any different. He's got a wonderful future ahead. GO NICKY~
