Posted Today, 05:53 PM Update from Beth

Rosa has been in for the day but we did take her out for a couple of nice long walks. She looks so ready. The only thing I think will change a little before she actually foals is that her pH will drop a little more. She is testing five squares on her milk strips and her pH is coming down. It is now just a matter of when this baby is ready to be born.

Thanks so much to all of you who are helping us watch over Rosa. Please call if you see her in labor and we aren't with her.

I'll check her again later tonight and update you if I see any changes.

Have a good night.

Thanks SGB...I took a few pix here and there.

Just wanted to say that at 12 hours old our lil filly is running after mom, Rosa. It is
so amazing to me to have had this experience.
Although I've hand delivered 29 puppies, new life and healthy newborns always excite me
.

I was waiting for Rosa's breakfast to arrive and her stomping her foot to see the reaction of our new lil filly. She did get frightened for only a sec.
But here she is curious about what Rosa is eating...did NOT try to eat any!

Her vocal noises are getting louder and louder!!! LOL :sfthumbs:

Mom, Rosa, seemed to lead filly to her big green bowl of food and she ate from it.
Then she ran around the entire circumference of the stall.. she is so adorable!

She's so adorable--thanks, ladies! (I didn't want to put a bunch of software on my computer in order to watch this cam, so all I see is what you ladies share...) :loveheart2:

This was my first horse birth as well...and how amazing it was...I have over 30 minutes of video...however, Beth (Rosa's owner) also has a video of the birth...so if you missed it..its AWESOME



Another YouTube video of the event:



(Actually, I should go ahead and edit mine...because it has sound...and you should hear Beth talk to Rosa and the filly...she is so cute...such a southern drawl...)

The little filly has already been purchased!!! WOW

From what I could see they breed the mares every year? They all are due again...Rosa's daughter, Scarlette, is next. They sell them cheaper before they are born -- only $12,000.

Wish I had the $$$ and more acreage! LOL

Hi Everyone,

I hope that you're having a very good weekend. It's been cold here today. The temperature never got above freezing today and the ground is wet and muddy from all the rain. Rosa and Brownwen have stayed inside in their nice dry stall instead of going out in the mud and cold. I think it's supposed to start warming up some tomorrow so they may be able to go out for a few hours. They both seem very satisfied in the stall and Bronwen is getting her exercise despite being inside.

I talked to the vet last night and Bronwen's blood test came back fine. She got everything she needed from Rosa's milk. I've still been a little concerned that Rosa's bag is not as large as it usually is when she has a new foal but Bronwen seems to be getting all she wants and even after she nurses, Rosa still has milk left over. Guess I'm just being overprotective.

I'll keep you updated on what's going on around here. Have a good night.
