Well done Kossette, what a civilised time to give birth! They'll sleep well tonight, pretty girls.
Congratulations to all at Rollestone on the safe arrival of your stunning little lass, many thanks for setting up the technology to share it. We have non-horsey friends here this evening and all have been thrilled and fascinated - warm fuzzy feelings all round!

It didn't go off suddenly... it had been dying for an hour leading up o the birth...hence the buffering, timing out...too many people... myhrsecam.com say ours is one of the most popular cameras so and that we do frequently hit the limit especially dring peak times like tonight... It's a free service so the servers have a limit
Nothing sinister... just bad timing,,, and had I been up the house and not helping Kossette get baby out I could have refreshed it my end... but my friend didn't know how and had a poorly child to look after...
Sorry

My OH (an IT boff) says it's def a server problem with myhorsecam.com, and not that it's been switched off.
[/ QUOTE ]
The whole Myhorsecam site is down...
But it is very strange it all got turned off when things started to go wrong...
I don't things are that straitforward...
The server would be build to withstand such demand...

Rollestone please don't feel the need to apologise for anything - it's just such a privilege to see as much as the birth as we did, and watching your beautiful foal sleep right now is amazing!
I can sense you are a bit pissed at eveyone complaining about the camera going down, but 99.9% of the complaints aren't directed at you personally, just general disappointment we all missed a few minutes. But seriously, in the long run i haven't been left feeling disappointed at all!
Really hope your daughter is better now, sounds like it's been a hectic night at Rollestone Stud

how do they check the placenta is all there, do they spread it out and see that it is all there?
[/ QUOTE ]
Yes that's exactly what we do...check for rips.tears mising bits that would cause problems if left in mum...
Thanks for the lovely messages everyone...nice to know some people appreciated it... Such a shame about the cam... I blame Kossette for foaling at such a sociable hour - had it been at 1am there wouldnt have been so many on line!
Only 11 more to go...

Yes I'd like to know too!

i didnt see. where abouts were they looking?
[/ QUOTE ]
One found something in the straw, around the place that the foalie was born, looked sort of dark and shiny about the size of her hand, a bit triangular in shape??
[/ QUOTE ]
It was the build up of salts/minerals etc that is supposed to be good luck if you find it... can't remember the name but we find it with most births... Caroline hadn't seen one before and so felt the need to bring it up to the hous eto show me... nice! I asked her to remove it from the lounge!

Why did Kossette have a headcollar put on?
[/ QUOTE ]
Incase she got foal proud/ foalie had trouble suckling and we needed to catch her... K has beenknown in the past to not be easy to catch... best to put the headcollar on and not have any problems...!

QR - I knew I'd miss it - only just got online - been at the yard late as friends horse went down with colic and we had to deal with it (including my OH going to pick friend up and bring her to yard as she had no transport). Still Kosette looks well, foalie looks gorgeous and colicy horse all OK now so good result all round.
Congrats on your first of the season Rollestone and hears to another 11 happy healthy mares and foals.

Hello Rollestone and your Team.
Thank you so much for allowing us to be able to watch this! I am in Vancouver and watched the birth at work. My assistant was also transfixed, and when ever something happened she came to see my PC with what was going on.
I'm very pleased to see K and foalie doing well. I'm also very lucky to be in a different time zone, so am sitting peacefully watching foalie and mum bond - it's such a privilage.
One question however - previous years, you filmed births with hand held camera's. Why the change to a static camera? You may have already answered this elsewhere but I've not found the answer, and just curious, and keen to get a close up.
Again, congrats, and so pleased you got the spotted filly you wanted... Looking forward to the next 11, and that they foal when the rest of the UK is in bed so I can watch it without the server crashing!!!
Many thanks again

No need for any snotty text messages - some people can be very rude... Makes me wonder why I bother putting the cams online when you get messages through suggesting that you don't know what you;re just because I choose not to interfere unless neccessary.
[/ QUOTE ]
How rude!! I for one have been watching your progress for the past three years and appreciate ( as I'm sure most others do) watching your foalcam. You do a fantastic job and have lovely horses so ignore them! I was going to text to say congratulations but didn't want to bother anyone whilst you was busy, wish I had now!
We are coming to Devon for a week in may so i'm hoping to have won a few grand before I can come to choose one of your babies

Rollestone, thank you so much for allowing us to watch Kossette foal. I have never managed to see any of our mares foal, have always got there just after doh! so it was wonderful to watch Kossette. Really pleased that you got your blanket spot filly too, bless her!
Logged on this morning to see little filly sucking for England, wonderful sight.
Looking forward to the next 11 mares

My husband thinks I am crazy, I have just spent half an hour watching a wibbly wobbly foal wibbling and wobbling around!!! He also didn't appreciate me showing him the mare with the feet sticking out of the back end last night. I don't think he appreciates the wonders of childbirth!
I was very impressed last night seeing the girls watching her - many people would have been tempted to jump in and get involved but they did just enough to get baby safely on the floor. I imagine if you got texts they were from people who don't know about foaling who thought she looked in trouble. Hopefully now they have seen one they will let you get on with what you do best.
Congratulations to everyone and I look forward to hearing the name.

Oh she is even more beautiful this morning.
Thanks for all the time and effort you put in for US on here when you were obviously so busy Rollestone. Hope you got some sleep!
I am having trouble with the cam freezing and buffering every few seconds again this morning, anyone else?

Thank you Rollestone
Watching for the last few days and it was lovely to see the filly being born, I was pushing for Kossette!
Then i was encouraging the filly to stand up
I bet others were too!
It was lovely to see and I look forward to more, thank you so much for putting the web cam on

Had to check to see how the little girl was this morning!! when I went to bed last night she was practising pinging around the stable - much to Kossettes confusion who clearly wanted to eat!!
Glad they are both looking good - she seems like a good mum and is very protective of her girl when people are looking at them! The photos are great to - nice to see her in'close up'!
Looks like your little girl is feeling better today too! Hope you all had a good sleep and thank you again.

Just had a look before I go to work and the stable is empty . Looks like they've gone for a play outside, hope the sun is shining down there as it is here. Have fun baby.
