Woo Hoo, our first one is a FILLY!!

[lilnickers]

Introducing Creeksides Black Velvet

Her sire is Kays MLF Alfa High Hopes and her dam is Katelands Storm Dancer

This little gal is so much fun! I just love her

I was a little surprised to get a solid out of two pintos, but she's a beauty, none the less!!

I had a "first" this year, as the placenta almost immediately followed the foal, so I had to tie off the cord and cut it. Now what would have happened had I not been there? Would the mare chew it as some other species do??

Well....here she is:

Very pretty! Congrats! No, I don't think that the mare would chew the cord. That happened when Lex's first foal, Briar, was born. They were both lying there after she came out and a minute later the placenta just slipped out of her. So I had to cut the cord.

Very pretty! Congratulations!

 

[HGFarm]

Congrats on your new filly!!

Gorgeous

I am guessing that the cord would have broken when the little one got up and started moving around. I believe that there is a spot in the cord where it is meant to break (a thin spot)

I am sure the Doc.s on here will advise

I believe you did right in tying and cutting the cord. Its what I do in that situation.

It is quite surprising sometimes what we get huh? you just never know.what you'll get but she's a beauty!

Congrats! I've had that happen before too, and my vet advised me to tie and cut the cord.
