simple solution to help revive a foal

[kaykay]

When we were trying to bring my colt back i was using my mouth over his mouth and nose. My friend ginny pulled up and opened her foaling kit and had the best thing i have ever seen!! it was a small water bottle with the end cut off. You put the cut end over the foals mouth and nostrils and blow in the end you drink in. I couldnt believe how much better it worked then my way. It seemed to force air into his lungs much better then mouth to mouth did. I had never heard of using this and thought id share it with you all. THANK YOU GINNY
