Why is mom all riled up? She won’t stand still long enough for Squirmy to nurse. ---

He’s really getting the hang of it. I’m not sure why Mama won’t settle, but he’s moving right along with her. I’d like to see him nursing more. StG ---

Attendant’s back with a camera. Ha! Squirmy tried to nurse on mom’s tail. Almost latched… Missed it. Now he’s nursing her shoulder. ---

What a beautiful, strong baby! I missed the very first part of the birth but caught most of it. I am thinking of Squirmy as a boy too… he’s a curious little cuss! He was licking the stall wall just now and charged right up to the person that came in. I think I’m in love… ---

He keeps getting so close and then JUUUUUUUUUUUUUST not quite getting it. Ha! Almost there and mom tried to push him closer. ---

I think he’s too tall and unstable to get under there properly. ---

> [@Surly\_Chick](#): > > I can’t stop watching until I know he’s gotten a proper meal… Me too! I want the attendant to come in and hold mom still so Squirmy can get a proper hold on her teat. EAT: Speaking of qwhich, the attendant just entered the stall. Ha! And grabbed Virona’s halter, then let ehr go. Virona seems really hyped up about this baby. ---

He’s really having trouble find the udder. He’s not too tall, he’s just clueless. I wonder if she keeps moving to give him another position. ETA: Virona obviously thinks she needs hands. StG ---

Or maybe she’s tired of the afterbirth hanging out of her hooha. ---

I think Verona needs to CHILL. I am not liking the temperament of this mare. The 2 handlers are in the stall right now holding her so little Squirmny can nurse. BAD mama horse… BAD! BAD! ---

And it doesn’t help that Squirmy is a bit of a mimbo. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/live-foaling-cam/531800.md?page=19) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/live-foaling-cam/531800.md?page=21)
