Watching Star Bright...SB 4/19,La La 4/20, Red 5/23, FILLY!

Big tight udder at noon check. I would call it a 'foaling udder'.

I need to get some pix for comparison.

 

[Eagle]

I can't wait to see some pics

 

[Becky]

Yep, I want to see pics! They really can tell the story!

 

[AnnaC]

Sounds good - she's getting close!

Please try for the pics.

 

[Charlotte]

I swear this is just plain wierd!

Look at these udders and tell me what you think

this is La La. Udder full and tight for a couple of days now. It softened a bit late this afternoon.





this is Star Bright. Her udder filled dramatically over night last night. Full and tight this morning. During the day today it became even tighter. (I never have them increase during daily turnout unless they are ready to foal) But it's still deeply divided in the pix. Do some mares not get a flat bottomed udder? I haven't paid attention before.

Diane, I don't think I'm going to mention to Star Bright your comment about a goat

And her milk has turned white this evening. And she's standing there calmly sleeping. While La La is stuffing in hay.

I wish my cams were on line. I need to go shower.

[Eagle]

what a cutie

Congratulations and well done Star Bright. I can't wait to hear all about it and see lots more pics

 

[Becky]

Goat udder! LOLOL Well, whatever kind of udder it is, it must be the right kind as she foaled!

Congratulations on a handsome new boy!

 

[little lady]

Congrats on your handsome fella!

 

[Charlotte]

Just wish I could convince Star Bright to not drop her kids on their heads! She's not a short mare either. Thank goodness she laid down flat right at first and set off the beeper. Never laid down again.

Congratulations on a beautiful boy!! Geez, that would sure be scary to have to be there to catch the foal! LOL So happy she set the pager off for you!

 

[Eagle]

Come on! stop hiding your baby, we want to see more pics

 

[MeganH]

Congrats on your new boy!!!

 

[Charlotte]

I can't get a decent picture of him where you can actually see what he looks like. His mom is very protective right now. I'll try again when I put them out for a little while this afternoon. Love his little head! Great big eyes and a tiny 'mouse muzzle'.



From what I can see this is a niiice colt! I'm really pleased with the cross. Like Charlie Harrison said back in the '70s.... "Get the best stallion you can find then breed him to better mares". That was his philosophy for success in the horse breeding business.

 

[AnnaC]

Oh I think he's gorgeous!! Many congratulations Charlotte and well done Star Bright - even if your Momma has to be there everytime to play catch with your new babies!!

Cant wait to see the 'outside' pics.

 

[bannerminis]

Thats a very nice colt. Congrats on your new boy and looking forward to the outdoor pics

 

[Charlotte]

La La foaled 3:30 a.m.

Difficult delivery. colt oxygen deprived, not nursing. Vet just left after tubing with 60cc colostrum. If colt isn't nursing by noon we head to hospital.

Any good vibes would be greatly appreciated
