Foaling

Aw bless, certainly looks like it was worth all the hard work!

That's beautiful lulu33, I'm so jealous that's some thing I alway's wonted to do, life is really cruel ......

And just the hardest work it was too, even just to watch!
Ahh, Srtipes, pity you live so far away. Have you any friends in your area who work on studs?

Well done David and helpers and of course the mum, poor thing must have been so stressed and a worrying time for all of you, so pleased alls well now, enjoyed the photo`s ,thankyou for sharing Lulu.....

Your'e welcome Lincslass. Pity I am having trouble uploading photos, meant to put a few more up. Just had another mare foal too!! Poor David is going to be sore tonight!

well done to David, the foal is beautiful, yes Lou they both looked tired, hope david is not to sore tonight,

Arnica, lots of it! And another mare just foaled.....just one more to go!

Daughter just ooooed and ahhhhed over these pics, horse mad and hoping to become an equine vet!! Glad it all turned out ok, well done David bet he was tired too!

well done both of you what a wonderful achievement, thanks for taking the time :o))

David is becomming more sore by the minute! thx Pamg and SK. x

Thats amazing Lulu, you all must be exhausted, mentaly and physically, poor David (being kicked) But worth all the trouble :) Beautifull Foal and mum..

Really exausted, me emotionally and David both! Arnica, lots of it!

Fantastic pictures.Glad the outcome was 100% Successful, and i am sure you will sooth Davids bruises.

Well I hope the owner is suitably impressed with David's skills Lou, so often mares are lost after difficult births and many of the foals also. I've read a great many entries in the GSB so I know how often it can happen. (Doing research, the GSB is not my usual light reading Lou, altho it is a fascinating record of some very famous mares).

Isn't it wonderful ! :o) I'm glad they're both doing well. And well done to husband for his expertease ...

Foal and mare doing well, thank goodness! David now waiting on the last mare to foal this season. Yhanks for all your kind comments. x

The last foal was was born last night, phew thats the season over. A huge colt!

Mmm, my first reaction? Probly not a Derby contender..take to long to mature..but you never know..Grand National perhaps? Might even become a great event horse...isnt it wonderful just to speculate and dream...

What Tet, the last big foal or the previous one? I wish the difficult birth had been a filly, we would have kept her and after a difficult birth it would have been a dream to have it race and do well.....we shall see. racing is an odd game! Not a huge fan of it myself but when a home bred does well and I have seen it brought into the world, that's just brilliant!

The last big foal.
I would say Lou, that would be something to remember indeed! I love to see a great horse racing, but I do prefer the breeding side. I remember getting quite choked when Yeats won the Gold Cup for the 4th time, but then bawled my eyes out when Persian Punch collapsed on the racecourse! Quite like a few of the jockeys and a handful of trainers, but the rest I could do without. Love it when they interview the lads and girls that look after them tho. You can see they love their charges to bits, even the difficult ones!

oh the poor mare - lucky indeed to have such skilled people with her - what a relief for you all - trusting humans and hoarses have recovered well from such a bruising birth!!

oh dear =\

HORSES I of course meant!!
