CONGRATULATIONS Liz and Rhapsody
Oh CONGRATULATIONS Liz and Rhapsody - what a fabulous little colt - bet he doesn't realise all the trouble you have gone to Liz, to get him safely on the ground!! Well done to you, he's a lucky little boy!!
Hope all goes well with him and Rhaps from now on.

She foaled standing up and Liz helped him out, I coulnd't see why though as she had her bum facing the far gate.

I couldn't work out if it was Liz wanting her up or just Rhapsody, I think the foal needed help but I am not 100% as I couldn't see
Oh dear, I think Liz is going to have to move that other mare and foal if possible. Rhaps is obviously not going to settle with someone else next door, she's so very protective - most of my girls are like that too, which is why we have solid walls but open fronts so they can still see each other across the passage - we had a mare accidently knock her foal over and she trod on its leg in her rush at the mare next door, so in went the solid panels!!
That colt is certainly a big boy - look at those legs!! And I love his colouring.

Well he's gorgeous! So glad you knew what to do, and helped out . You guys saved a life or maybe two! Great job, get some well deserved sleep!
Oh how scary!! Well done to both of you for saving this gorgeous little boy - Rhaps possibly too!
No wonder it took a while for poor Rhaps to settle down and watching Phantom, he too, seemed to look as though he was amazed to find himself here and not sure what to do about it!
1.35am and they are both resting quietly - hope you are enjoying your sleep Liz, you deserve it.

Thanks for the explanation Liz, I wasn't sure if it was a dystocia or what because of her being turned away. Well done to you and Jackie for being excellent midwives
He sure is a gorgeous boy
