> [@Encinitas](#): > > I must have Jadzia’s filly! No one can have her but me! > (But you can pet her.) Gosh, sorry Encinitas - but you can’t have her - I saw her first, it was clearly love at first sight, we were meant for each other! I got dibs and you can’t have her! 😛 ---

Hey, you want to talk cute? Check out the [2010 foals page](http://pacificpintos.com/new.html) at Pacific Pintos! Their latest, Blossom’s colt, hasn’t been posted yet but Joanne sent me pictures this evening and OMG he is absolutely gorgeously adorable and adorably gorgeous. I’ll email you the pix if you like. ---

Hey, got another one for ya! For the Henry Mancini/Moon River fans: Broodmare, wider than a mile: I’m hopin’ that you’ll foal; don’t tease. Old dream maker, you heartbreaker, How ‘bout you be waxing? I’m asking you please. Two more strips, dipped to test the milk. Still not a lot of squares to see. We’re after the same rainbow’s end, Waitin’ round the bend, My when’s she foaling? friend, Broodmare and me. ---

Breeze at Mulligans Run just had a beautiful colt. Beautiful blaze on him ---

This is addicting. Gallo Scarpelli’s Honey just foaled. No word if it is a colt or filly yet, but has a beautiful blaze just like Mama! ---

There are people in the stall, but this was a totally unassisted birth. ---

Weird – the picture keeps going in and out of focus. Right now Honey’s licking her baby and it’s blurry as all hell. ETA: Centaur’s got a new mare, Massamba, on cam now, supposed to be ready to foal any time. ---

Massamba at Centaur already foaled the other day, they just never updated their twitter feed. The mare in the stall now is Velvet. She’s waxed, and at first they thought she might be foaling prematurely, but it turns out there was a clerical error and she really is due now. It could be any time. ---

Interesting – right now at Gallo Scarpelli, there’s a person holding Honey on a leadline with a twitch on her, too. There’s another person in the stall at the mare’s rear, just out of sight. The foal was nursing but is now being held away from the bag, at the mare’s head, by the person on the lead rope. ---

Here it is almost an hour later at Gallo Scarpelli, and they’ve finished whatever they were doing with the mare, but she’s still twitched and now several people have put the foal down on its side and are doing something to it. ETA: Now they’ve let him up. ETA2: Still haven’t taken off the twitch. Letting him nurse now. ---

A song for Everly Brothers fans with a mare named Susie: Let’s foal, little Susie, please foal Let’s foal, little Susie, please foal I wake up out of my sleep, go check the cam, Susie, and weep There’s still no foal, it’s four o’clock, and I yell “Bleepity-bleep!” Let’s foal, little Susie Please foal, little Susie, well When you gonna have that baby? When you gonna have that foal? When you gonna listen up and heed my plea: “Let’s roll!” Let’s foal, little Susie Please foal, little Susie, well I told my friends that you would foal real soon But, Susie, baby, you sing another tune Let’s foal, little Susie Please foal, little Susie, you gotta foal now Let’s foal, little Susie, please foal Let’s foal, little Susie, please foal This waiting isn’t so hot, I beg “Foal!” but you say “Not!” I’m losing asleep, my eyes are red, my nerves are just about shot Let’s foal, little Susie Please foal, little Susie, well When you gonna have that baby? When you gonna have that foal? When you gonna listen up and heed my plea: “Let’s roll!” Let’s foal, little Susie Please foal, little Susie Please foal, little Susie! ---

Keep an eye on Premier Friesians; the mare’s really agitated now and they think it’s imminent. ---

Right now on Elements cam 2 they’re doing a vaginal ultrasound of a mare. ETA: That one’s done and taken away; another mare’s been led into the stall. Now the vet’s got his arm up to the elbow in her. What a glamorous profession, eh? ETA2: Now mare number 3 and she looks a lot less docile. Twitch time! ---

Velvet at Centaur is foaling now. Attendant is in with her. ETA: Oh, this is a hard birth. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/live-foaling-cam/531800.md?page=68) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/live-foaling-cam/531800.md?page=70)
