THANK GOD. And I think the baby got a couple sips there when the little (human) girl was standing directly behind mom. Great positioning, that. ---

Thanks for the explanation, **bobkitty**. Looks like the stall is peaceful at last. ---

I’m laughing, watching the little one prance around the stall! Mom’s like ‘Ok there’s not enough room in here for that, settle down and eat so I can take a nap!’ ---

Yeah, she looked pretty wonderful, prancing around. ---

> [@StGermain](#): > > These people are making my blood boil. As far as I could see, she still hasn’t delivered the placenta, which can be deadly. They’re throwing a freaking party in the stall, with flash cameras and dogs, and are pushing the mom away from the baby. Imprint training is one thing, this is something else. The placenta dropped from the mare when she stood up. There was something specific they were pushing the mom away from, but it was hard to tell. Mom licking baby, fine. Mom fussing with something was not. It looked like the mom may have been fooling with the umbilical cord. Several times, the humans kept checking low, almost between the filly’s legs. Then the mare ould start licking there, paying too much attention to that area. I don’t think they were pushing her away for imprinting, it looked like it was to prevent her from making a mess of the belly-button to be. ---

I noticed that too, and had the same thought. ---

I’m pretty sure that this is a picture of the new baby. Scroll down to the bottom of the page. It looks like they just added it but haven’t updated it yet. [http://www.wittshorsetraining.com/2009Foals.html](http://www.wittshorsetraining.com/2009Foals.html) ---

It’s snowing there! Last night I browsed around some of the other cams, and the sheep cam…they were so cold, it was snowing hard! (I know, they aren’t cold. I mean, come on. They have wool coats on and everything) ---

The page says she was due on the 10th but she still doesn’t look like she has foaling on her mind. ---

Nakota was at Centaur farm three owners ago! I think that stall looks small just because it’s long. If you look, it’s two stalls with the dividing wall knocked out. That means it’s probably 12 X 24. StG ---

**EddyTeddyFreddy** - I found [this ad](http://www.equinenow.com/horse-ad-226876) for Nakota’s 2008 billy online. This pic was taken at about 18 months old and she’s already 16 hh. Isn’t she lovely! StG ---
