Hi everybody , first of all may i publicly say a huge thanks to the following , Guestless , holiday, vjc many many thanks for all your very very sound advice
Now we have a chestnut filly foal with a white balze and a little white sock in front born on Sat night between the hours of 12:45am and 4:45 am missed it
we we went into the yard at 4:45am there was baby on feet dry and drinking, mum trying to eat the afterbirth, baby then popped twice mare like a "pig in clover" very proud but letting us near foal , sprayed navel, unfortunately i had to leave at 6am to travel to judge so baby left with dad (who is 84) with the instructions if it looks like going pear shaped call the vet ! dad babysat brill and kept a very close eye on them , got home and spoke to Guestless , baby is called Anna in the stable and her posh name is PUILLDOBHRAN -- pronounced pooldoran -- it means in the Gaelic "Pool of the Otter" it is one of my most fav places "up the west coast of Scotland"
Mother and daughter both fine and eating well , vet coming today to see to them, the only thing now that i will worry about is does she have enough milk Anna is poohing and peeing well , .She is now up a bit more on her hind pasterns but she not quite up in her front ones yet
