After losing 4 in a row, we finally have a live healthy foal! This is Honeysuckle's first baby, and she is very proud of him! She overcooked him like crazy, his tail is down below his hocks and he was already cutting his bottom two teeth when he was born!!

We have 2 more to go, and really, really have our fingers crossed that nothing else goes wrong.

I'm very sorry, Kendra, for the losses. I'm so happy to see you have a beautiful boy to show for this one, though.

He's great!

Good luck with the next ones, sounds like you've had more than your share of losses for the next several years.

Three of them were born dead at term, no real explanation, the one that the vet posted was normal, and he thinks was just stressed during delivery (maiden mare and slow delivery). One was early and we think the mare had placentitis. As for the others, no explanation, though the vet's have theorized that Hypthyroidism could be to blame, which is tough to prove as no one really knows what causes hypothyroidism, though the latest research talks about nitrate levels being involved. We had our hay tested and it doesn't have high levels of nitrates. Who knows, though we did switch the hay our pregnant mares were eating, just in case.
 
Handsome little fellow. So sorry about your earlier losses. I had a year like that last year. I know how you feel. WE are waiting on 4 more with fingers crossed and prayers lifted daily.
