Well I have read about them, but I had never really thought we’d be lucky enough to deal with it!  Went to bed knowing Magic was going to foal (gobs of wax when she came in from being out all afternoon) so I was up watching her pretty close.  I woke Travis up – this was his Chocklate Confetti baby after all, he could come out in the cold with me! – and by the time he got down to the barn, this huge, spotted MOOSE was trying to figure out the long legs he came out with!  So we’re ooohing and aaaahhing over him and I see KC, who has been intently watching, start pacing very intently across the aisle, and go down…hmmm….so I go over, and her water breaks…I kid with her that if she had wanted an audience, she could have let me know 2 weeks ago and I’d have been happy to have stood around then!  So we wait – that time between the water breaking and the foal being out and taking it’s first big breath are always the absolutely longest minutes.  And when KC starts to make even Travis nervous with her erratic attempts, he steps in and gives her a hand to pull a very talkative, bay filly – dubbed her Gabby and it’s stuck… So in an hour and a half, we had two beautiful, healthy babies.  Magic’s baby has a little swelling in his lower legs but I think it’s just from being so BIG…they already are looking better this afternoon and he’s still got a lot of unfolding to do.  They both found their legs and the milk spigots, all is well, and we only have one more to go but it looks like I might get a night or two’s sleep before she gets serious.  So I grabbed pictures…Magic’s colt is by Chocklate Confetti,  KC’s filly is by our Dream Aloud and then I’m attaching another updated shot of Mattie, who is also by Dream Aloud.  Again – they aren’t the best pictures because they are in the stall but it was just too windy and cold to put them out today…All I can say is that it’s nice to have some awesome, bright “spots” to focus on after the way this month started!!!

But I did want to let you know he is EXACTLY what Travis wanted…Your boy did awesome J

Hi Mellanie, Just wanted to let you know that we had our first foal this morning out of Oreo. She was a couple weeks early, but she is a big girl - all legs - and she is the image of her daddy. We are still waiting on the other mare who is now about a week overdue. I'm thinking that I want to breed Shades (Mom of this morning's foal) back to Oreo - it looks like a good combination. I'll send you pictures asap.

Hope everything is going well on your farm, Marion Martin

Exquisite bay filly with flash markings on all legs, blanket and star.

4-4-08 5:00 pm in the afternoon, did not even have time to put her in the barn, but foaled right in the middle of the fresh sand I put in her pen.

 Despite his eventful delivery (upside down, leg and head back) Mom and baby are great! Thank goodness for sleeping in the barn! He still has some unfolding to do.

Will get more pictures soon.
