OK, now I want those people to get out of the way and let mom tend to her baby. ---

Ha! Momma’s licking her baby, who is already trying to get up. Looks like she’s got a bald face, doesn’t it? And I think high white on at least one front leg. ETA Okay, I can see the hind legs and they’re high white too. ---

Doh…I just now realized this is not, in fact, the mare of a Doper. 😛 But I am still very happy to see all this! Can’t wait until my sister \ to get a steady internet connection. She’s gonna love this! ---

Wow, Momma seems to be perfectly fine with all those crazy bubbly humans around her and fussing with her baby. I think this little girl’s going to be well socialized all right. 😃 ---

> [@StGermain](#): > > That mare is a lot more patient than I would be. > > StG Well, maybe they’re trying to imprint the foal. Mom seems utterly unconcerned about it all; she’s too busy cleaning her little girl to care, it seems. ETA Damn, I wish that person in the foreground would move so I could see the whole foal. ETA2 Ha she did and now baby’s got her front legs crossed. ---

**Taomist** - [Here is](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=548185&highlight=nakota)a thread about a mare I just recently bought. I also have a thoroughbred gelding and a mini. I plan to breed my mare this spring. But I won’t throw a party in her stall when she foals. StG ---

I know absolutely nothing about horses but I have to think that for the mom to be that unconcerned with everyone fussing about, that they must be doing something right. ---
