Yes, that’s one vigorous baby all right! Doesn’t have mom’s stripe, though. I think one forefoot is white, I thought I saw that during the birth. ETA: Whaddaya want to bet that baby’s up on its feet a lot faster than the others we’ve seen so far? ETA2: Aw, mom’s up now sniffing and licking her baby. ETA3: What a pro that attendant is ETA4: Right hind is white also left ---

Tying the afterbirth to Virona’s tail seems like a cruel joke although I’m sure there’s a purpose to it. ---

Is mom tapping her baby on the butt to get it to stand? If so, I’ve never seen anything like that. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/live-foaling-cam/531800.md?page=17) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/live-foaling-cam/531800.md?page=19)
