All very easy, placenta within 30 mins, he's up, pooed, drinking and mum is being brilliant.
She seems to have come up in a weird rash? Vet up soon to do a check on everything 😃

That's a Balou du Rouet baby isn't it? I've very jealous :D

I reckon he'll be big, the two I know (out of very different mares) are both enormous! Lovely boys though :)
 
Yes a Balou baby!
He throws a few smaller ones too I think, Baloon and Balou star both on the smaller side and I've seen a couple of smaller fillies too.
Who knows, it's all a lottery. He's not a huge foal but then she is a maiden.
Very calm and friendly already - more than happy to be handled for the vet.
 
having seen all the foaly photos, I'll now add mine. This filly was a complete surprise as I didn't realise that my event mare was in foal until I got her back up to start the season, and discovered the "grass belly" was something more. Sire was actually her own father, so I was somewhat concerned to see what came out, as you can imagine. No idea of conception date, as I cannot ever remember them getting together (both always kept apart from other horses, but the mare had actually jumped clear around her first BE Intermediate track when approx 6 months plus in foal!
As you can see, the filly is very correct. This was taken at one week old. She's 3/4 Welsh D, 1/4 TB, and quite possibly a 12 month gestation foal looking at the length of her legs!!

She's an utter sweetie! And she has some pazazz too! Glad she's here safe and sound, and her mum is obviously very proud of her. It looks as though she's quite the speed merchant!

Haha must be something in the water then :p
They're really nice boys though, I'm excited to hear how your little lad grows up. My main ambition in life atm is to earn enough money to buy the younger one, but I think that's a pipe dream!
 


Ah here she is 12 year old standard Shetland . This will be her third foal, second with me . Hoping for a chestnut filly😄 Will update with bag pics as it develops.
 
Mine is a maiden mare, due on Monday. Slowly bagging up, hate this waiting game. I keep taking pictures of her bag but don't know how to post pictures.
 
Completely forgot to post that my mare foaled a perfect colt. She went 9 days over and dripped milk for 6 days before finally foaling! TJ was born on the 14th of may and is out of KWPN stallion Tolan R. I am in love, here are some recent pictures of him :D



 
Our mare foaled last night at 10pm. She had wax in the morning, was pawing on the field in the afternoon. When she came in she was restless so we knew it was imminent . Delivered a beautiful black filly, 4 small white socks and a star. When she found her feet she spent ages trotting around her mum. Mare is a maiden and was a bit squealy every time she tried to suckle.
The filly is by Diarado out of a Contendro 1 mare.
 
Bets on as to when my mare will foal! She has bagged up alot and had a bit of milk at the end of her teats this morning but showing no other signs (vulva not relaxed yet etc). But she does appear to have changed shape...

My mare had her foal at 7pm yesterday. I am so over excited!
Its was her (and mine) first foal so she was sent to stud a month before to foal with the experts. She was due on the 30th, foaled on the 27th.
It was a difficult foaling as the foal was so big. Glad she was with proper stud hands as she did need a bit of help.
Obviously pictures ( the stud owner said it is a stunning foal, even though it was on outside mare to an outside stallion, i am covering my mare with her stallion all being well next)






Big bay filly. Now comes the difficult part of naming her!
 
Tb mare, typical tb bloodline, grandsire saddlers wells, called The two annes. To crackenthorpe kentagon.
I hope to breed an amatuer event horse for myself so nothing too big (like my current elephant that i event!). Breeding for temperement first and foremost.
I knew what colour it would be, both mum and dad are a rich bay with really black points, which i love. Really glad to see no white socks!
