WOW my Angel just foaled a lovely healthy boy!

[capall beag]

I tell you, this one scared me a little, mostly I felt my luck might run out!

I must say after he arrived, I took a moment and Thanked God for 3 healthy deliveries from 3 maiden mares.

After 2 nights with NO sleep I feel a little wacko but soooooo fortunate!!

I am so fortunate, 3 live, healthy foals. All went well I learned so much and got a deeper appreciation for my mares!!

My foaling season is over for this year and no plans to breed anyone again any time soon!!

What a miracle, I just helped my Angel deliver her silver dapple colt, it was a very tight squeeze but she 'done good'!

Curious to know she was up against the wall and the bulge popped before I saw it, so the foot was out of the sac. I got worried about this in case the foal did not come right along.......Was there reason to worry or is this perfectly fine???

I don't know how you guys with a ton of mares do this I am shattered and exhausted, doing it alone and with 3 little kids doesn;t help any

Thanks for all the support and kind words along the way!!

This forum is priceless and it is free

Incredible!

Congratulations! You have done sooo well!!! Im still learning but I THINK that if the sac is broken you cant push the foal back in to rearrange it???? Im sure someone can correct me....

Congratulations. sounds like you had a little heart pounding of your own going on there. They do like to do that to us.

[SIZE=14pt]It is all just fine. I have pushed a foal back after the bubble broke to readjust some legs. It can still be done if you have to. Not unusual for the bubble to break from that first foot. I think thats a good thing. They should be ok whew! You deserve a vacation![/SIZE]

Fiona, CONGRATULATIOS, on a job well done

: I dont know how you do it with 3 small kids, I can barely handle it when I have one of my grandkids over and they are 2 and 3 yrs old. You definitely need a vacation! Corinne

Congratulations, Fiona!

As Lyn said it's no problem if the sac breaks before the foal delivers. Matter of fact if I have to go in and readjust I'll break the bag to try to work inside it. I feel there is less chance of bacteria entering the mare that way.
