Live Foaling Cam

Yes! There’s something showing under her tail!

This it too stressful.

Ah, shit, one foreleg’s out, she’s up n her feet and rubbing her butt against the wall.

Down again. Attendant’s there.

OMG, I can’t stand it! Push!

Phew, that was really stressful to watch.

Attendnat helped at the end – baby’s out!

baby with a white star on her head :slight_smile:

I was yelling at my computer “pull it out!”

It’s a little tiny baby horse!!

(I’ve missed all the other ones at the crucial moments!)

Baby’s got a star!

Yeh, no shit! I scared the cats with my yelling.

Momma looks so relieved, doesn’t she?

ETA: Hahah – strong baby, already shaking its head! Long floppy ears flopping.

I missed it! I should’ve checked before feeding my own horses.

So relaxed I wondered if she was dead there for a minute…

I don’t think I can watch wee China go through that!

Squeee! Look at baby horse shake its little head!

The foal really is active for only minutes old, isn’t it? And a star just like mom.

StG

I wish someone would hold up a sign saying whether it’s a boy or girl…

Yes, that’s one vigorous baby all right! Doesn’t have mom’s stripe, though. I think one forefoot is white, I thought I saw that during the birth.

ETA: Whaddaya want to bet that baby’s up on its feet a lot faster than the others we’ve seen so far?

ETA2: Aw, mom’s up now sniffing and licking her baby.

ETA3: What a pro that attendant is

ETA4: Right hind is white also left

Move that fat butt, Virona! I want to see the baby.

You’ve got to admit, that’s a much nicer birth than Sheeza’s.

StG

Tying the afterbirth to Virona’s tail seems like a cruel joke although I’m sure there’s a purpose to it.

Yeh. Move it dammit!

Definitely pros on hand this time.

Is mom tapping her baby on the butt to get it to stand? If so, I’ve never seen anything like that.
