First foal of the season - angel colt

[Mulligans Run]

We just had our first foaling of the year and it was a colt. He seems to have died before he was born as his gums were white and his eyes slightly cloudy. The cord was extremely twisted. When I picked it up the placenta spun like crazy - that's how twisted it was.

He was also malpositioned - head down- chin tucked and legs back, but he delivered anyway. He was fully haired - due in just a week or two.....

Please send prayers for my mare Puff...this is her second loss. And the first foaling loss for our farm.

Hey Heather I am very very sorry to hear this about your mare losing her foal. I know how it feels when you lose a foal. Last year we experienced way too much of this. It just feels awful. It never gets any easier to get over losing a foal or horse no matter how many you have lost. I feel really bad for you and your mare. I will keep yall in my prayers. Talk to you soon. Aubrey

Heather I am so sorry you and Puff had to go through this. It is always worse when it is not the first foal the mare has lost...maybe next time will be different??
