Phantom's Foaling Video and Caspar Pics!

[MissIndependance]

For those that missed the birth last night you can see it here http://www.rollestone-farm.com/2007VIDEOS.html

What looked at first to be a chestnut colt, much to Chris's confusion as he didn't realise palominos looked that colour at birth, is now turning into a lovely light colour, and I can't wait to see what sort of pally he becomes.

There are piccies here http://www.rollestone-farm.com/GALLERY2007.htm forthose who want to see the little lad dry and straightened up a bit!

Next up will be Kya - http://www.rollestone-farm.com/KYA.html - who is due one week today...she will probably come in tomorrow night or Thursday - after the box has been disinfected etc

So hopefully I can grab a couple of nights sleep before then!

So so so upset I missed it again!

I fell unconcious about 11.45 unintentionally and woke up to a baby!!!!

 

[MissIndependance]

You only just missed it then! By about half an hour!!

 

[Weezy]

Casper is absolutely GORGEOUS

Suprising how much he has lightened.

Have a few good nights sleep, is Chris out of the doghouse yet for falling aseep last night?! LOL!!!!!

 

[VictoriaEDT]

I know I know, I am still kicking myself!!

 

[madgirl]

haha been checking all day lol as I missed it. Thanks! Whata stunner. Looking forward to watching the next mare lol!

 

[madgirl]

naww one flat out foalie!

 

[guisbrogal]

where is he? I can't see him on the cam only Phantom

 

[VictoriaEDT]

Lying down by her head!

 

[guisbrogal]

On mine all I can see is a faint smudge there.

Looks nothing like a foal

 

[MissIndependance]

I can't see him either but he must be in there!! I haven't taken him out!! How inconsiderate for of her to have a colt the same colour as the straw!!!

 

[MissIndependance]

OK I zoomed in round the whole stable and couldn't see him - he must be in a blind spot!

 

[guisbrogal]

I was really worried when I first look but she would be upset if he was gone wouldn't she?

The birth looked exhausting.......just as I remember my boys being born

but he is so sweet and looks like she is a lovely mummy!

 

[guisbrogal]

I can't see him either even on the big screen

Should we be worried? He can't get out can he?

 

[MissIndependance]

No he can't get out and I'm sure she'd be worried if he'd gone missing...I am fighting the urge to go and check though...

 

[guisbrogal]

Me too!

Where is the little blighter!

How long will it take to get to Devon from Guisborough do you think?

 

[Weezy]

Naaaaaaaaaaaaaaaw flat out, bless her - what a 24 hours!

I do hope she isn't lying on him LOL!

 

[guisbrogal]

No I saw her go down and she is not laid on him

 

[MissIndependance]

It's bugging me now....

 

[Weezy]

I was just jesting

Don't know why, I thought mare and foal would be like we are with our newborns, all cuddled up LOL - mind I think mares are prob more sensible

 

[guisbrogal]

When you find him you will have to put a coloured head collar on him!

 

[Weezy]

He is prob in the corner by the door...


UNLESS SHE ATE HIM

 

[guisbrogal]

Sorry I know you were but we can't see him and are a bit concerned as to his whereabouts!

Pesky foal

 

[lisaward]

congratulations he is one stunning chap

 

[Weezy]

Suppose I should not start with the friendly ghost gags then

Seriously if he wasn't there she would surely be doing her nut!

 

[JM07]

ooo, no foalie?????

by the door, i hope

 

[Weezy]

There you go - in the corner by the door - little pest!

 

[ColleenIsh]

there he is !

 

[guisbrogal]

You would think so wouldn't you but I have been watchng for a good ten mins with no sign and Rollestone has zoomed in and can't see him

I think he will need painting with flourescent paint or something!

 

[JM07]

aaaw, yes.

he's by the door. PHEW!!
