Baby has arrived!

Sherry was born on July 29th at 1230am. It was a partial red bag delivery in which I had to tear open the placenta in order for the foal to progress. But she arrived safe and sound and is doing great.

Wow, it has been awhile

Ok since I've posted her last I've had a beautiful little colt born from mare I bought 10 days earlier. That was a surprise to me, I had no intention of buying a mare, but could not leave this gal where she was. So glad too. She gave me the pinto colt I've always dreamed of owning. Life is funny that way, you just never know what God has in store for you

ANyways, Nellie is now at day 331!! Where did the time go. Her milk was testing at 10% yesterday morning and is at 40% today!! That's a fast change. I'm thinking I am pretty close here as her milk has been hard to express and I could only get a few drops but this afternoon I got two full streams! It has been my experience that when it starts streaming out, foaling is about 24-48 hours away. I will NOT be sleeping tonight, that is for certain.

Lady but has 29 days to go, but she seems to be shaping up for an early foaling. Too early to tell for certain on her though. Her milk is that of a non foaling mare, thank goodness. One bit of excitement at a time is enough for me. I"m getting too old.
