Speaking of robbin' the cradle ; )

I missed a colt being born by mere minutes today. My nieces and I were driving down the road and saw all of these cars pulled into the drive of a farm we pass every day. I got some great pics. Minus a little afterbirth, but I think I can edit it out. There was another horse there about to give birth as well. She was having contractions when we left . . . it was getting dark, so.

Sisfox, don't you have a son his age??? LOL. (I may have you confused w/ someone else)

You know - I don't care how many times I attend a foaling, I cry every time. Post the pics! There's nothing cuter than a new foal. Did you stick around to see if he got right up?

So funny - we pamper the mares, go on 24/7 foal watch, and yet they are perfectly capable dropping their babies out in a field.

Yeah, Seth's 18, so I'm guessing he and our new poster are close in age. I was just being silly.

Hi Mr. Nice guy,

Yeah, nice to see another guy on the board (like Stacey said - I've already read through the posts).

And don't mind the women around here - they're pretty crazy! (in a good way though)

I'm Michelle (Emdeesea), I'm in St. Louis. Nice to have you!

He tried one or two times but we had to head home. I felt bad for the mom still going through the process. Poor thing did not look comfortable. I'll have to swing by today and see if she had any luck. I am not a member so I can't post more than one pic but I will do that . . .

I was just teasing you ; )

Thanks for posting the pic!

Can you imagine being pregnant for 11 months and then pushing out a 100+ pound baby?

I figured you were teasing - I was feeling mildy guilty for teasing our OP! LOL

Okay, I joined the little Ivillage thingy and posted seven pics of the horses and one of my little girl ; )

Let me know if the link doesn't work . . .

No, I couldn't imagine giving birth to a 100 lb. animal especially one with four very long legs all moving in different directions. I didn't know they carried them for 11 mos. either, Oy!

Wow - is that a picture of you? You look like Claire Danes!

Love the pics of the mare and foal.

Funny story - there's a huge breeding farm near me (one of the biggest in the world of this particular breed) and every year they get a million phone calls that they have a field full of dead horses...cuz the babies are all laid out flat out from about noon on. LOL
