Sorry it took me so long to get back, Ive been sleeping up a storm as I have 3 more mares coming up in a week so need to catch up fast. It seems to me that I've had about 40% of my foalings be red bags. I've got to go back and count, but it sure is close to routine here for me now.

Dream went down panting for quite a long time, up and down and panting but no pushing. Then finally she started pushing, I waited but since there was no breaking of the water I knew what was coming. Cut into the placenta when it showed up. Helped to deliver foal as quickly as possible. He spitted and sputted quite a bit but seems just fine. He is MR Laidback, nothing excites this boy. I pick him up routinely and he just lays there, happy as a clam. Love him

Since Dream is my Therapy horse, there is great excitement from the special needs people who we visit about this new baby. One of them got a chance to come to the barn when Fox (the new baby) was 2 days old. Her name is also Amanda coincidentally and she adores Dream and fell in love immediately with the baby. Here are a few pics. I think the boy has the personality to be a therapy horse too.







These kind of days make it all worthwhile.

Meanwhile Buffy is at day 322 and has a good starter udder but not filled completely, she usually foals around day 330. And Fly has a huge udder at day 317, but her milk is not quite ready, it is testing between 7.2 and 7.8 pH but no hardness yet. So we have a ways to go with those two.

I'm personally glad for some down time, to sleep and clean my house which has been totally neglected these last few weeks.
