Looks like they’re trying to work on the umbilical and the colt is already trying to stand up. Now, good, they’ve backed off and left mom and baby alone. Awwwwwwwwwww Mandy is such a good mom. ---

Man, that’s a strong colt! ETA – ha he’s already strong enough to resist the woman pushing him toward mom Mandy is really uncomfortable and you can see a muscle ridge along her lower flank. ---

Yeah he hardly seems like he was just born. What does a muscle ridge mean? ---

> [@Surly\_Chick](#): > > Gaaaaaaa! What are they _doing?_ They need to let Barry move at his own speed! Make them stop! I do w0onder whether they’re worried about Mandy having enough colostrum for him. Given she’s probably been leaking milk for the last two days. ETA: What a calm mom Mandy is!
