Kinney Miniatures foaling thread

We have three mares due to foal anytime. Our foaling cam link http://www.marestare.com/cam.php?alias=kinney

See our message board link below the cam window. There are updates of progress on each mare on my message board.

We have four cams on our monitor.

Cam #1 is Midnight, a seasoned broodmare, however she is not due until May 7th.

Cam #2 is Amy, a seasoned broodmare, that has produced a Hall of Fame driving horse for us. She is at 335 days. As of today her ph level is at 6.0, she could foal at anytime. Her udder has been extremely tight since yesterday (4/22).

Cam #3 is Angie, a maiden, is at 351 days. Udder seems to be filled, but with a maiden it is hard to tell when she will foal.

Angie photo:

Cam #4 is Kankakee, a seasoned broodmare, is at 350 days. Her udder is also very full and tight.

All mares are bred to our AMHR/ASPC stallion, McCarthy's Court Jester. This is his first foal crop. We are excited to see these foals!

Here is Court Jester...

Wow, can''t wait to see all these gorgeous babies from these combinations!

 

Welcome to our "Nutty Nursery" !! All beautiful girls, and a handsome daddy!

I see we're foaling!!!!! Come on Kankakee!!

Oh my goodness, we seem to have some problems.

Feet and legs sticking out and mom walking around......

Good save!!!!!!!! And a beautiful little one!

 

CONGRATULATIONS ON A BEAUTIFUL COLT!!!

I just knew it was a boy -- fiesty right from the start!!

 

Poor little guy.....he's hungry and momma is still trying to pass her placenta. Okay, now a role reversal -- he's down and she's up! Now he's up and momma's down. He's already trying out his prancing legs!!

He looks just beautiful!!!

I see you checking Amy! How is she doing? With a 6.0 pH -- she could give you a "two-fer" tonight!

 

I see a little help from the "steering club" Steph, has him headed in the right direction for the milk bar!! Come on little one -- you'll be very happy with a good drink!

Glad you posted your link tonight Steph -- but I had no idea it would be so exciting on DAY 1 !!!!!

Thanks all. It was a little tricky getting him out, seemed he was stuck after the head was out. I was here alone since hubby was at a family function 40 miles away.

I'm glad Kankakee gave that big push to get him out the rest of the way.

He has finally figured out where the milk bar is. We are very pleased with his markings and conformation. Will post pics tomorrow.

Ok now if Amy and Angie would foal, I can get some much needed sleep! LOL

Many congratulations on your new colt Steph - you just registered yourself and your beautiful horses here in time for the first birth, we are used to loooooooooooong waiting times as the norm! LOL!!

Good luck and safe foaling with Amy - certainly is a busy night tonight on here with several mares suddenly producing their gorgeous babies.

Dont forget the pictures for us!

Hi and Welcome to the Nutty Nursery, you sure have set a high standard here with 2 gorgeous babies on your first night

 

CONGRATULATIONS AGAIN on Amy's filly!! I just knew she was going to foal at 6.0 - but just couldn't stay up any longer!

Just beautiful and we look forward to pictures!!

 

[cassie]

congratulations on the little filly! she looks cute running around her stable can't wait for piccies of both

We had a busy night, but glad we have two healthy foals on the ground. Kankakee was having a little trouble getting the foal out after the head and front legs were delivered. Thankfully she pushed again with me pulling to get the colt out. She foaled about 11:00 PM (4/23).

I will get better pictures later on, once they both unfold a bit.

Here is Kankakee's pinto colt.

We were up until 2:00 AM making sure Kankakee's foal nursed, etc. I had fallen asleep on the couch when Amy set the Equipage off at 4:45 AM. She had a textbook delivery of a champagne colored filly. See photo below:

Two down, two more mares to go. The one I worry about the most is the maiden mare, Angie (cam #3). She is at 352 days today. Hubby is home today/tonight so I hope she delivers while he is here to help.

Midnight is not due until about May 7th, so we will get a little break.

thanks for joining us in the barn.

Steph
