Congratulations again on a beautiful filly!! It was awesome to watch you and your friend help delievery that cute little girl!! Zelda did a good job too!! Lol She looked so uncomfortable, poor thing!! So how late did you all stay up playing with the baby?? Did you get any sleep......I bet the adrenaline was flowing and you were on cloud nine the rest of the night!!!

Have you ever delivered a foal before? You guys looked like pros!! You must get some more pictures and post them ASAP!

 

[cassie]

congratulations on the gorgeous little baby! so exciting for you!

[Amour Lie]

Will do!! And that was both my trainer and I's first delivery! Zelda did great!!! I will get some pics today, I have some I need to put up here. We were up till 5AM watching it on the mare cam!!! Haha. We are looking at rescuing mini mares in foal, once they have their foal work with them until I think they're good to sell, and sell them to good homes. There's so many mini's in foal that are unwanted, i hate seeing it!

This is when we got concerned about her breeching. Note the hoof isn't pointing to Zelda's feet at all.

No leg yet. This is when we started putting jelly on our arms.

This is when my dad jumped in and found the leg, tucked under her chin. Pulled it out.

Zelda's eye, you can see why we are removing it, haha.

 

[Amour Lie]

Also, I always hear different opinions on when to get the farrier to trim her. I think asap? Her mom is due anyways. I can imagine she would want a mustang roll type thing, right?

 

[little lady]

Congrats! She is adorable!

Since her mom is due anyway, I would have the farrier also look at her. Mine sits with the babies and shows them what he checks, and is very good in teaching babies not to be stressed. Then he rasps a little -- making it more of a game -- but usually takes the toes off so baby stands more upright!

If you have a good farrier -- I think it would be great to let her get to know him/her.

 

[AnnaC]

Her feet look prettty good to me, so apart from just getting to meet the farrier and lettng her quietly watch him do Zelda, I dont suppose there is much he will want to do.

 

[chandab]

Congrats! So colorful.

 

[Amour Lie]

Thanks guys! I will probably get the farrier to look at them. Why not, you know?

 

[misty'smom]

Thanks for posting all the great pictures! I looked at each one even though I had to click back and forth on the links!!!! LOL She is a beautiful little filly, I love her markings and color, Zelda is a pretty mare too!!! You and your trainer did a wonderful job for it being your first time!! I think it is a GREAT idea that you have, to take in rescue mares and keep them until after they foal then find them good homes. If you have plenty of space for them you might want to look into applying for financial aid as a non-profit. I think it is called a 501 non-profit organization. The funding could help pay for feed, hay and any vet bills. You may need to be 18 but maybe your Dad could apply for you?? Well it was just a thought you might think about........

Keep posting those pictures or links!!

Foals grow and change so fast!!

 

[blazingstarranch]

Congrats on your cute little filly, she has great markings and is a lively little thing lol. You've done a great job, love the pics!

 

[Amour Lie]

HEHE thanks!! My trainer and I will probably buy/rent some land and do that! She is talking about in the future breeding halter Minis, I would probably breed cart Minis if she does that, but we would have a rescue on the side!

 

[Amour Lie]

Majora is doing great! Is it normal for her to nurse, walk around for 5 minutes, then lay down? Then repeat. Then when I let her out she is active for about a hour then lays down. Not lethargic or anything? I am not concerned, she is nursing and active for a while.

 

[Eagle]

As long as she has her playfoal moments during the day and doesn't look lethargic she should be fine. I was hoping to watch her on cam at night to see but it is off

 

[AnnaC]

When you say she is active, what do you mean? You also say that after feeding she walks around for 5 minutes before laying down - are you calling this walking 'activity'? How long does she lay down for? Could you tell us a bit more and also how she is today please.
