Iv'e had the last 3 foals born back to back to back so just now getting around to posting about them.
All the mares kept waking me up several times a night all weekend long so I was already exhausted when Image finally decided to foal around 3 am on Sunday night. A beautiful buckskin pinto colt that is almost a perfect match to my filly born 3 weeks ago. Creta Hills Spirits Wildfire
Tuesday night was up again most of the night. I think I got like 2 hours of sleep. Checked everyone before heading to work. When I got there I pulled up my cam and lo and behold Gem has foaled! So I rush back home to finish up with a dainty, TINY buckskin filly with socks. She measures only 17" tall with a 6" cannon from mid knee to coronet. Here she is pictured with her mom who is right around 30" tall. Creta Hills Spirits Blue Dahlia
After this filly was born, I also had another mare (outside mare) who foaled at noon!
So after these 2, I am REALLY needing some rest. I make sure the beepers are working on a couple of other mares who look close and go to bed around 1 am. I just couldn't watch any longer. At 3 am, Sophie wakes me up and presents me with a beautiful solid buckskin colt.

Now I am REALLY beat! I make it thru the day at work. Head home to get my chores done so I can go to bed. None of the other mares are looking anywhere close to foaling so I am hoping I can get a few nights rest.
I get home and my goat is clearly in labor. LOL Thankfully she gets down to business and had her little buckling and nurses great and I am able to get to bed at a decent time. Here he is...
And thats not all....
I get up this morning to find that one of my Himalayan rabbits has presented me with these...
