The dark mare with the bay foal with 2 hind white socks is colicing. She has been slightly uncomfy flank watching and lying down but she is now rolling and getting upset. I cant activate the alarm above her camera so please can some one get her owners attention and let them know that this mare needs urgent attantion. Thanks.
 
I've seen her rolling and watching the foal , but she doesn't seem too distressed now, just shattered.

I have been watching this mare for the last couple of hours and inbetween lying down she is rolling a lot, very restless and wont let her foal suckle. Being an equine vet nurse I am clued up to what a colicing horse looks like even having just foaled so am concerned for her. Having foaled mares down as well as foaling my own mare I can tell between colic and tiredness.


http://www.marestare.com/fcam.php?alias=elements yes this is the mare.
 
Lets hope it is just the rest of the placenta that is disturbing her. They lost a foal the other day after a few hours of being born. Poor little thing, she was so cute.
RIP little one
 
Not surprising really it was a tough birth - the owner had a hell of a job pulling her out. She was really stuck. Big foal. Hope mares OK.

Just has another look, and that is what I thought, she still looks full and looking behind, so my guess is she still has to pass the placenta, or twins!!!!!

Placenta more plausible though me thinks, foal just has a wee though so it looks happy enough, welcome to the world little one
 
i hope the owner goes and has a look at the mare soon- shes kicking her belly, wheras the foal looks fine
ok shes on the phone- lets hope shes calling the vet
 
I want a cuddle too. They are both very nervous, I wander if it is a maiden mare. My mares and foals always let me cuddle them!
This is real time, the wanders of technology!!
 
Sorry I'm just a bog standard biovet student lol :rolleyes: I only saw her lay down and getting up and lying down again which is understandable when you've got a new foal pestering!
But now she's up and the foal is suckling, yes you're right she doesn't look too happy. At least someone has come in to check on them :)
