I let Dreams back out with her friends this morning and she was back to normal and very glad to see her girls so that's good news. I have resolved never, ever to name a foal before it's born again. I did that with Crystal's foal and then I had Dream's foal all named as well so never again.

But life continues on here and I have dusted myself off because I have two mares who are very close to foaling who need me. I think Kalico is very close. Here's her photos.





And here's Madeline this morning.





I turned them out together and they are within my sight all the time. They bonded to each other instantly and have spent the morning grooming each other all over. I hope they are talking to each other because Kalico is a very experienced broodmare and Madeline is a maiden. So I'm on 24 hour foal watch.

Thank you again for all your comments. I very much appreciated them.

 

[eagles ring farm]

your ladies are looking very close, they will keep you busy now

I agree about naming I did that once in 2009 and it was the only foal we lost to a hip lock

a black pinto filly

from a stallion we bred and had sold ...so I never again will name them ahead of time

The stallion was Eagles Ring Toyhorse I'm Smokin" and after breeding 1 mare and selling him I decided

before the foal was born be it filly or colt was gonna name it Eagles Ring Still Smokin so that taught me

to just let the foal choose a name for me.

Prayers for the rest of your season to be safe and happy for all

Oh no! I'm sorry for your loss.

I have already named Missy's baby too. Eeeek. No name anymore. Only baby from now on!

 

[MountainWoman]

Missy'sMum, I'm sure there's nothing to worry about as Missy is looking fabulous.

Lori, I'm so very sorry for your loss. It's just so unbelievably sad to say goodbye to a life that never had a chance. I had named Crystal's baby from the day I brought her home and then I had stayed up naming Dreams surprise baby so from now on I'm sticking with the generic "babycakes." And yes, I agree with you about letting the foals name themselves. They all come into the world with such distinct personalities and are such bundles of joy.
