"I’ll bet this “rescue” is always asking for donations, eh? ETA: What is the name of this so-called rescue?" It looks to be just a back yard rescue and yes they are asking for donations. For the second late night early morning the mare has gone down as if she is about to foal. She is down again right now. If you dare to watch here is the link: [http://www.ustream.tv/channel/new/rebel--foal-watch](http://www.ustream.tv/channel/new/rebel--foal-watch) I really hope this mare has a safe easy time of it, but I’m very worried about this one. ---

The rescue mare had a colt. The birth went really fast and well when she finally broke her water. All seems good after an hour so far. Whew this one really concerned me. Just hope the mare has enough in her to care for the foal and herself. ---

Good to hear that the rescue mare did so well! Fingers crossed all will continue to do well. By the way, I tried going to the site they posted at Ustream to ask for donations and the link went nowhere. Well, I left out the “donations” part of the URL, so perhaps that’s why, although Googling their given rescue name didn’t find them either. Meanwhile, [Leiah at Iris Hills Farm](http://www.marestare.com/fcam.php?alias=irishills) just had her foal tonight. I made the call, beating out another watcher by a gnat’s whisker. ---

Oh, hell. Leiah foaled a bit before 3:00 a.m. my time. It’s now 4:00 a.m. and the foal still hasn’t been able to get up, or to stand on its own after being helped up. It’s not very active, not trying very much. I’m going to bed now, worried. ---

Checking the Mare Stare thread this morning, I find this post from one of the owners, timed at 3:39 a.m., which I believe would be 4:39 for me, so about 35 minutes after I staggered off to bed: > [@](#): > > thanks for the calls.Leiah had a stunnung bay It’s a Filly! !!! We gave Leiah a dose of banamine to settle her down.She has not passed afterbirth yet but we are hoping if we left her alone a bit she will relax and pass it.I have headed home( a couple miles away)from the farm.If you see something that needs to be checked on feel free to give me or Brian a call.I can always call him and he can go down to the barn.Brian will check in on mom and baby before he goes to work in a little while to make sure she is up and nursing and that Leiah passed everything ok.I want to thank you all for sharing our foaling season with us again this year and we WILL be back next year!!! You are all a great group of people. Sounds like things were going well enough by then that they felt safe in leaving the barn. Ah! Just looked in at the cam, and there’s woman in with them, checking – and best of all, the filly is up and nursing! ETA: The woman is taking photos – and the curious filly bounced over to her to investigate! Won’t stay back enough to line up the photos. Hee! Phew. ---

Donkeys this morning. [Lulu at Lil Pondarosa Minis](http://www.marestare.com/fcam.php?alias=pondarosa) just foaled a jennet, and [Sheena at Half Ass Acres](http://www.marestare.com/fcam.php?alias=minidonk) is in labor. ---

The mare at [Dusty Creek Farms](http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/3105641.Brad_Thompson) must’ve foaled late last night. What a beautiful little colt! [pics here](http://latigo.marestare.com/forum/index.php?topic=22218.105) ---

Yep, and I watched the foaling. In fact, I was one of the Mare Starers who called to alert the owners when she finally dropped and got to work – I’m Janicket on that board. Keep an eye on [Pacific Pintos](http://www.marestare.com/fcam.php?alias=pacificpintos) – the mare on cam now has started to have contractions, and she’s borne 11 foals already, so Joanne says she should go fast when she foals. Glenhill has a new mare on cam 1 who’s fairly close. ---

Update on cams to watch, all with good to excellent feeds: [Pacific Pintos](http://www.marestare.com/fcam.php?alias=pacificpintos) has two mini mares very close to foaling. [Silver Creek](http://www.marestare.com/fcam.php?alias=silvercreek) has new mare on cam now named Willow. Today’s posting about her: “I expect to see a foal in the next 48 to 72 hours. She hasn’t dropped yet, but she has thick colostrum and is not interested in her feed.” At [Glenhill Farm](http://www.marestare.com/fcam.php?alias=glenhill), today’s note on Lilly states she “has a steady drip of white milk now.” Don’t forget, this cam sometimes has LOUD sound. The mare is a weaver. The feed isn’t as good at [True Colours](http://www.marestare.com/fcam.php?alias=truecolours) but it’s enough to follow Puchi Trap, who alternates between looking as if she’s popping RIGHT NOW and looking like “Foal? What foal?” but should go soon, we’re assured. For the latest updates on who’s imminent, you can always check the Mare Stare forum [Mare Stare Cams Foaling Alerts and Updates](http://latigo.marestare.com/forum/index.php?board=6.0). Over the last couple of nights I’ve seen at least eight foalings plus some goats born. ---

**StG** , it’s a colt. The camera froze for a while, but is unfrozen now and the little guy is up. 🙂 ---

The cam froze off and on for me too. There’s a problem with the Glenhill colt, though; I heard Gen on the phone saying something about a hind foot turning out, I think – I did hear “about as bad as I’ve ever seen it.” Also that she hoped that it was from being scrunched up inside, and that moving around overnight would straighten it out. Meanwhile, at [acific Pintos](http://www.marestare.com/fcam.php?alias=pacificpintos), Susie has just delivered an adorable oreo. There’s a mare at [Pearl Cove](http://www.marestare.com/fcam.php?alias=pearlcove) who just got her tail wrapped and is close. And, then there’s [Premier Friesians](http://www.marestare.com/fcam.php?alias=premierfriesians), where the mare is in trouble postpartum: > [@](#): > > Our Welmoed delivered a VERY BIG colt at 1245am PST -05-14 (Friday)- We had to really pull as she had trouble with his shoulders. He took quite awhile to breathe, slow-ish to stand and very slow 4.5 hours to nurse (he’s super healthy now). After the delivery mom became almost colicy at one point and really made us nervous. Needless to say, mama retained the placenta for 13 hours. She had 5 doses of Oxytocin which did nothing - Banamine too for the cramps. Vet flushed her uterus (saline and antimicrobial) and she did pass it about an hour after his flush. It appeared intact with both horn tips. She was uncomfortable after with lots of contractions and restlessness at 2am - temp check was normal at 100.9 and given another dose of Banamine. Vet checked this (Sat) am and all seemed well. Baby thriving and nursing well. Acting pretty normal today (Sat) with regards to affect and appetite. Given several bran mashes as she has only pooped 3 times in nearly 48 hours. Vet isn’t too concerned about not pooping. – At temp check Saturday 8pm PST her temp was 102.4 (no fecal ball present to distort the reading). Called the vet who told me to give her Banamine and monitor due to the fact that he gave her a very strong IM antibiotic when he flushed her uterus. He needs to know immediately if she shows signs of colic-- ie pawing, lots of getting up and down, looking at and kicking at her sides etc. PLEASE call me if you observe anything weird. Thank you for your help. She’s a very special mare, who is very loved and quite valuable. We would be crushed to lose her and so would her precious boy.
