Close call

[runaway ranch]

My appy dun had a beautiful colt this morning, but I could have lost both. My equipage went off and when I got to the birthing barn, I found Penny straining and one leg out. I reached in and found the colt's nose was up under the pelvis. By the grace of God I was able to push the foal back in & reach under this nose and reposition his head. Thank goodness for small hands. One leg was still back, but between Penny and me we got him out. He has the longest legs and a wonderful blanket. He is now up and doing fine.
