Who wants to join me on foal watch?

I also just clicked the link and saw the photos - looks like you have a very lovely foalie. Congratulations!
 
We've got rather a few of them now

I think I'm remembering this correctly, but was it you who posted a fantastic photo some time back surrounded by about half a dozen palominos of varying sizes and shapes? That was a great photo!

P.S. Gorgeous little boy, clever Peaches!

Yes that is correct. Thankfully we still only have 4 :D
 
Not going well. Vet been out she's had 2 oxytocin injections and a lavage still not cleansed. Another one in an hour then he's coming back 2 hours after that if she hasn't cleansed and/or to stomach tube the foal. Foal will not take the bottle and if you try and put him in position (he's taller than her udder!) he doesn't like that either. He's almost latching on but not quite by himself. Have left them to it for an hour in the hope I go back to improvements. Very stressful!!
 
Congratulations! Looks lovely, and exactly to order and on time by the sounds of it - you do have them all so well trained :D

Oh no, hope they manage to sort themselves out
 
Stressful times. At least you are an experienced midwife, albeit a different species. Hope all going more smoothly now.
