Live Foaling Cam

I’m checking now but their mare page is taking forever to load, with all the photos in it!

Okay, it’s stabilized now. Here’s what they have to say about her (and yes, she is stunning in the photos on that page):

Damn, that page is a bitch to load! Here, I’ve grabbed two of her pictures and put them on Webshots:

China 1

China 3

I know! Coiuldn’t they let him be a free baby for at least a few days?

Although, given how big and strong he is, maybe they’re going to need a control device from the git-go.

I can’t believe i missed another one! This just isn’t fair. And you’re right ETF - I better not miss Nakota’s foaling! I’ve been reading a cool thread on the COTH forum’s about testing the Ph and calcium levels of the milk. Apparently, once the Ph drops suddenly they’ll foal within 24 hours.

StG

Poor StGermain! Missed it again!

Damn! Barry was just about to nurse and Frizzy Haired Guy had to go and move right then so Barry stopped. Grrrrr.

Barry’s fascinated by the kid.

Can someone post links again, just to have them current. For China, Mandy, Vir, and Nakota?

Nakota is StG’s mare, not yet bred.

I wonder if he imprinted on him as Frizzy Haired Guy spent so much time toweling him off. Poor Barry is obviously hungry (as he tried to nurse on FHG’s fingers) but is as clueless as Squirmy!

Latch on!!!

ETA: Well, he unlatched, but I’m sure he got it that time.

Yay!! Barry’s nursing!
ETA: ETF, we have to stop meeting like this! :stuck_out_tongue:

:smiley: I hate to think how much time I’ve wasted again this evening watching baby horsies.

Oh, yeh, he’s got the nursing idea now.

The after birth is taking a long time to come out. Well actually I have no idea how long it should take but it seems to be taking longer than the others.

I was just thinking that. It’s been almost two hours now. I can’t remember how long it took for Vi to expel hers.

I like how gentle and quiet that kid is with Barry.

Oh man, so cute. Mandy laid down and Barry laid down (read: crashed) beside her.

Mandy’s got her halter off.

And now they’re both down again.

Kid was stroking Mandy’s face. He got up and Barry got up.

Now the kid’s taken Barry’s halter off.

I don’t think that’s a kid. That’s the “midhusband”. Barry sure does like him, I think more than he likes Mandy at times.

For first timers, I’m very impressed with how they’ve done. They’re lucky they were dealing with such a calm horse too.

Midhusband?
