Here at Lovepatch Farms, we have had a pretty eventful foaling season, but to tell you the truth I am glad it's almost over . . . we have two more to go and then we are done for the year.
Diego is our 308 day gestation surprise baby! His mom is Lovepatch Farms Barefoot Contessa, our first baby born here at Lovepatch back in 1998. Contessa was a maiden and not due until July 16th, but I guess nobody told her that . . . luckily she did great and really didn't need us . . . I would have hated to lose this baby!!!
Diego was 1 week old yesterday. Needless to say we are very happy with the babies that our National Champion Driving Stallion Khemosabi is producing for us

To top off our foaling season, we had our first "red bag" on Saturday night. Luckily we were right there and we got the baby out in time and all is well so far, phew! We are calling her "Diva Delight" (DD for short), I'll upload photos of her as soon as I have a chance . . .
Situations like this red bag make us aware to send "Thanks" to all the forum members who have shared their red bag experiences - because it's one thing to read about it, and another to actually experience a red bag. There is always that one moment of hard reality when you think - "Oh, no! Is that REALLY a red membrane I'm seeing, and not a white one!?"
I truly believe, it's the generous sharing on this forum that gives us all the courage to act quickly and do what is necessary to insure the best possible outcome.
Thanks again to all of you :aktion033:
