Foaling makes her hungry. :hugs:

I don’t think that mare ever stops eating lol

Wonder if it’s a filly or colt

Ah got the text it’s a colt!

Hope his a corker. She’s more interested in the hay than she is in him.

Anyone know if he has stood up/nursed yet or no?

No.

That’s the way to perk him up, toss some hay on him while you’re eating!

Get up buddy!

Get by with a little help from my friends…

This is concerning.

Mom seems agitated every time he lifts him? Is that normal behavior? (I’ve never seen that)

Poor little guy went straight into the wall

He’s up!

Not for long. Wish he had a better sense of direction.

When should I start to worry that he hasn’t nursed yet?
ETA: Thanks for introducing me to Foal Patrol!!

Hasn’t it been about 3 hours since the birth?

Two. He was born at 9:20

YES!!! We have contact.!

Trotting around his mum now. She is directing him to nurse. ā€œSon, I’m bursting here don’t you know?ā€ I wonder how his delivery went, since we were unable to see it.

Yay! He’s pooping. (Why are horse people always so concerned about poop). :grin:

Because we all know that it’s a big deal in many circumstances. :grin:
