Feed back, just eating now
Got the text from foal patrol āsigns of foalingā but all seems calm now
Elate is looking promising now. Some pacing, kicking at her belly, light pawing, and yawning.
She does look uncomfortableā¦sometimes looking back at her belly, shifting her weight behind.
Sheās making me dizzy with all her pacing!
Everytime I check in periodically sheās either standing or eating, am I missing something? Lol
Sheās going back and forth between walking circles and snoozing/eating. Definitely not āall systems goā yet, but she has been pretty uncomfortable all evening.

Really walking now
NOT happy with the watchmen, pinned ears and a threatened bite! Chill girl lol
Just tuned in to the video. Saw the number of people watching. Looks to be soon?
Iām still surprised that such a prestigious farm doesnāt have bigger foaling stalls.
Sheās been at this for three hours now, almost constantly
Tryingā¦but not sure I can stay awake for this one lol
Here we go, finally.
And baby! Anyone know what they were doing right before? I was confused
Colt!
Looked like a fairly easy delivery once she finally decided to get down to business.
A colt, had to pull him.
It didnāt appear to me that they were actually āpullingā, just providing traction. Thatās SOP at a lot of Thoroughbred operations, in my experience.

It is definitely not the first time that the people you see in the stall have attended a foaling mare.
The foal is out of a great race mare and by Speightstown. There are no beginners making decisions on how to handle the foaling.
She seems to have a good maternal instinct so far. 
Looks like a very nice colt. Havenāt seen him up yet though.
And the feed has frozen. 
Up and attempting to nurse!
He looks like nice one. 
Oh, I wish heād latch on.
