There is a new birth pending anyday!

For all you foal cam watchers, the birthing stall is occupied again

Frosty's due

Oh I just love baby horses. Colts are so cute!!!!

Lucky doesn't look as big as Frosty. Is she actually a smaller horse, or is it because the light is kind of bright so it fades out the depth? Or maybe the baby is smaller?

How exciting, I love horses so much. They are such beautiful animals, and the babies are so precious.

I hope I don't miss it this time!

hopefully baby will arrive soon!

I keep checking, but knowing my luck I'll miss it again!

I know I've asked before, but explain the bit about wax again. I can't even remember what body part. Also, the last time I looked her tail was free. Didn't they bind up the other mare's tail?

This is just the seepage of pre-birth milk within the mare's udders. It isn't that reliable to predicting live birth as unlike when our water breaks and birth is imminent, a mare can wax up to 4 weeks prior to delivery. About the tail, it is strictly the owner's choice, some will bag the tail to keep it out of the way, while others will braid it up. But out in the wild, mares give birth all the time with no assistance from us, so like I said, it is strictly the owner's choice.

Can you just picture a circle of pregnant mares, having a little brunch, braiding each other's tails in preparation? lol

But no, I figured it had to do with how unpleasant it would be for the vet (or other assistant) to get that tail in the face.

Darn it! I missed that one...cute little colt though

What a sweet little colt Lucky threw. Anyone see it happen?

The colt looks so cute. If anyone saw it, let us know how it was...

What a little sweetie.
Foals have more than their share of cuteness.

I'm so bummed! I was trying to watch last night and I couldn't get the picture to refresh, so I gave up. I bet that's when she had it.

Sure is a cute little thing, isn't it?
