The importance of "being there" at foaling.....

[Charlotte]

Aaaah, that's so sad Dona

Thank you for the reminder though. Even with the cameras and Breeder Alert/Equipage it still takes CONSTANT vigilance........and sure helps to know your mares.

Sorry to hear about this foal... So pleased Tiger is ok after all that is the main thing !!!

Dona ~ Tiger & Moonie have gone to a fantastic stud for sure and very well known

Now girls Samantha is a breeder with a BIG stud here in Australia !!!!!! She has many foals born each year so she sure does know what she is doing !!

Yes it is handy to have a phone number ready for a vet but in some areas the vets are not " Horse " vets as such.. in my town there is not a vet dedicated to Equine the closet is 1 hour away ...

Foaling season starts here on Tuesday August 1 so say a little prayer for the rest of the mares that are getting ready to foal. We have our first foal due in October we dont have a cam or alert but we will be doing it the " eye watching " way ..

Thank you for adding this Karen.

: Yes, Samantha has a HUGE (and beautiful!) place with lots of Minis born each year... & certainly knows what she's doing. I felt SO badly for her, when I got the message. I know if she could have been there....she would have been. But it just killed her to lose that precious, "perfect" Frame Overo filly. It was exactly what she'd hoped to get.

BTW.....Welcome to the Forum Karen! :saludando: Tell us about yourself & your minis!
