Well sorry to disapoint you guys but the mare didn’t last until the 40th post
It’s a GIRL!!! Born Wednesday night at 8 pm while me and my sister were riding of course! We decided to check on mare around 10 pm (after ride) and found a whole lot of cars waiting for us and a little filly. Well, sorry not little filly B I G filly. Birth was very quick (5 mins if that) and was caught all on tape by my parents (who were called) and assisted by our wonderful barn manager. Brie didn’t show any signs that she was in labour until 10 mins before the birth. Nice huh? lol!
Brie didn’t deliver the placenta so after a recommended 3-4 hours of waiting we got mr. vet back out to remove it. This was around 12 pm. He came out helped it along but at last moment she turned to chase after her baby (which has already been nicknamed “little $h!t”) and pulled hte last part out herself, prolapsing a tiny part of her uterus. So he tried to put everything back where it belonged (as much as he could reach) and we’ve been watchin her for the last 3 hours to make sure she wouldn’t do a true prolapse. Aren’t I a nice sister for stick around that long? (Ie. she owns me BIG time )
Anyways we joked at call the filly Gump because she’s a little slow, but that’s o.k
Oppps, sorry I’m so tired here’s her stats:
Name: Gallibrie (Galli)
Height: 11.2hh (ALL legs)
Weight: around 120
colour: hard to tell, kind of a mousy chestnut might turn into a clear bay
Markings: 1 big beautiful star, a small dt on nose and as far as we can see right now, 2 white socks, a white coronet band and a white smear (could be wrong her legs are pretty light but that’s what it looks like)
She’s got an attitude on her, she was up and walking within 10 mins, bucking and running within 2 hours. She’s big bold and beautiful
I don’t have any pictures right now (hey, it’s 5 in the morning and I’m dead tired) but we shot 4 hours worth of video (2 video camera’s! lol!) so we should get a afew still shots out of that Will have them up for tomorrow hopefully!
