Rollestone mares

[guisbrogal]

They do know what they are doing, it's just not as easy as you'd think.

Oh absolutely I wasn't having a go! I have attended foalings before and I appreciate how difficult it is.

 

[kirstyhen]

Yup! All 16 stone of him, on my own! It wasnt fun, especially as he was vomitting everywhere!

He doesnt look easy to handle at all and theyre not doing bad, just there seems to be a couple of times when theyve just given up! Or one person has left the other to cope!

 

[LindaW]

Ballerinas foal will be flaked out all tomorrow I imagine, been a very exciting night!

 

[Hannahbone]

has he had a drinky yet??

 

[guisbrogal]

No. They can't get him up.

 

[Hannahbone]

oh no poor little foaly

 

[destiny11]

Bless him, looks like a cunning plan is being hatched

 

[carys220]

At least he's trying to get up by himself...

 

[ivenoidea]

He puts up a good struggle when they try to help him.

 

[rosebud]

Im off to bed have early morning been an exciting night hope he stands up soon and there are no problems hes probably sooo tired, and colts are alot slower at doing these things than fillys night all.

 

[carys220]

[Hannahbone]

[ivenoidea]

Feeding success I hope.

 

[carys220]

I think he's got to the bar....

 

[kirstyhen]

See all it took was a cunning plan!
Bless him, now he knows what to do hell be there all the time!
Think the handlers can have a well deserved cuppa now!

And i can go to bed!

 

[Hannahbone]

awww thats cool bet hes blooming hungry now!

 

[LindaW]

lol don't think the handlers will be going anywhere for a whlie, got to wait for meconium too

 

[guisbrogal]

Mmmm typical man....can't be bothered

Poor Baly has spent all night peeping through the railings to see what is going on. She is pawing and chewing like mad. I bet she wishes she could get in there and help too

 

[Daisy11]

ive been watching i do agree that these grooms know what there doing
but in another way i would of got vet after this amount of time
(((((((((((((((((( standing vibes )))))))))))))))) to little one

 

[ivenoidea]

The mares behaving very well, especially given how possessive she was at first.

 

[kirstyhen]

Well they can add another cuppa to the long list of ones they already deserve then!!

See i only studied what happens before and during pregnancy, never did the after bit!

 

[carys220]

I think she realises that they're trying to help the little one..and there was me thinking I could get an early night....

 

[ivenoidea]

So did I. Bedtime soon though, maybe not for Rollestone people though.

 

[Hannahbone]

oh i cant stop wacthing now

 

[carys220]

[Hannahbone]

hehe me too

 

[guisbrogal]

Poor Jem looks like she doesn't know what she should do now? I really need to go to bed but I want to see him safely up on his feet.

 

[carys220]

The little black sleeping Molko cat behind me has just said hi everyone....=)

 

[Hannahbone]

Same here. This is the first foal=cam birth I have managed to catch, and I so desperately want to see bambino on his feet.
