This is Sharn,
I checked mistys placenta after birthing. Thats something that i know how to do and also know the importance of it. Being used to birthing lambs you have to check them well because often there is a problem.
Misty just gave me her noisy grinning hello and it made my heart warm. She just wasnt herself this morning. Like you said, she probably had slight colic and was getting over it. I dont know......but she looks 100% better than she did.
I shll keep a close eye amd call the vet if things go downhill. We planned to get the vet in after Sugar foaled too, but as yet she is holding out.
I cant thank you all enough, we have learnt a lot today that will help us hugely if this happens again.
Good news that she's better... Might have just been some bad gas this time, you just never know till it's over. :~D
Glad to hear Misty doing better. My trainer always on my case because I don't put my feet far enough in the stirrups caz I want to be able to get them out if needed. I had to quit wearing tennis shoes but I hate boots. I feel like I want to rip them off. I have some riding ,hiking looking ankle boots but I'm going to have to look at what hair said but they are designed for riding. Anyway, she told me to get break aways if I was going to be thinking about it. I don't know the price or what you paid for your saddle but she told me they weren't expensive.
