My first foal was born last night. The mare waxed at three and foaled at 9. I knew there was something wrong when the foal stopped coming once the shoulders came out so I went to investigate and the back legs were trying to come through. Foal was in a dog sitting position and died.
I called the vet but the mare managed to dislodge the foal by spinning in violent circles and she came flying out but was long dead. I tried to hold onto the foal as the mare went into a blind panic but the foal was too slippery and the mare was too dangerous. When I did stop her spinning she would just throw herself down on the ground and thrash around.
vet came an hour later and checked mare over who thank god was fine. The filly was a jet black palouse with a white star and some white on her rump, absolutely perfect and just what I ordered.
certainly opened my eyes up to breeding. I thought I would be out admiring my little baby today not digging her a grave.
