Stella looks so alone way up there. Yesterday I went over to the barn where Nakota is going to be bred. I wanted to see the set up and talk to the people. The woman was very nice, showed me their stalls. I asked her for Nakota to be on turnout instead of stalled, because she gets antsy in stalls. She said that would be no problem. They also do foalings, so I might send Nakota there to foal, too. I’d feel better for her to be in the hands of professionals. StG ---

Mom’s up! Finally. Couldn’t let little Stella show her up, eh? 😉 ETA! Ha! I don’t think she made it to the teat but Stella headed right in that direction once Mom was up. ---

Interesting: Unlike all the other foalings we’ve seen so far, I don’t see any afterbirth hanging out of Sarenia. Maybe that’s why she was down so long? She was expelling the placenta completely before she got up? ETA: I bet Stella’s back down, out of sight at the bottom of the stall. Looks as if Sarenia’s a much calmer mom than Virona was. ---

Stella hasn’t nursed yet, and doesn’t even seem to be trying. StG [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/live-foaling-cam/531800.md?page=34) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/live-foaling-cam/531800.md?page=36)
