[MissIndependance]

Where was he? I had just got up to get dressed to go down and check and came back in and the little varmint was there suckling!!! Bloody foal!

 

[Weezy]

[Weezy]

[JM07]

[guisbrogal]

An Absolute babe! Makes me really broody!

Mind you I feel more attached to Kharma since I saw him born!

You can get your PJ's back on now Rollestone!

 

[MissIndependance]

But there's a blooody great water bucket there - what was he doing - having a bath??!! Crazy foal!

Well I'm glad he showed up - far too chilly to go outside!

 

[Weezy]

I just showed OH the cam and told him it made me very broody last night - he looked hopeful for a mo LOL!

 

[guisbrogal]

I can see I am going to be no good at all when GM's Asti has her baby!

 

[JM07]

don't these horses realise we have jobs to go to??? LOL!!

 

[Weezy]

I cannot WAIT to see what Asti will throw

 

[guisbrogal]

Oooops!

I bet he thought his luck was in

Now a foalie I wouldn't mind but babies......no thanks been there done that! (3*)

 

[JM07]

good grief...ANOTHER sleepless night???

 

[guisbrogal]

We are hoping for a chestnut version of Kharma

I am to be chief tea maker for the occaion and I am soooo excited!

Shame she hasn't even been to stud yet mind you

 

[Weezy]

Mwahahaha he wishes - luckily he is feeling as rough as anything tonight, so I can sleep easy

 

[JM07]

aaaw, they are both resting.

I watched the Spring Sunshine vid - Kharma is just so gorgeous!!!

Just love the Rollestsone foaling videos - learning a lot! And there's such a contrast with some of the US foalcams, where I can't believe the degree of interference, perfectly normal birth and people in there heaving and pulling, and the mare very often obviously signalling that she's uneasy with people clumping around in her stable. Rollestone is such a great example, with quiet reassurance in the background, and just letting them get on with it. A great example which I'll try and follow for my mare's first foal!

 

[TwigFairweather]

ahh bless, what a lovely video! It made me feel quite excited about penny's foal, though guilty that I she is going to have to go through labour!

 

[MissIndependance]

Thanks for your lovely comments....It's difficult to know sometimes when to get involved or not but we try to leave the mares to get on with it as much as possible - and I think the mares appreciate it too.

Of course, I am a nervous wreck though til baby is out safely and I can see all appears to be ok!

He is just absolutely gorgeous! I was so excited about this mare foaling, but I fell asleep and missed it all

He is a VERY smart pally boy! Congratulations.
