Yes she has light from the workshop that we are leaving on, its also sheltered. She appears to be very restless today. Lots of stomping, tail swishing and snorting. (she is normal the quiet one).
We were lucky that although we missed Adge birth we were close behind. He was still struggling to stand and was as wobbly as could be. He struggled to find her milk too! Misty was pretty good and turned to help him.
Bambi lovers.........eat your heart out!
Keep me posted.
My mare was pretty good about standing still while Dot tried to get started. Poor girl tho. She was awful sore. Every time Dot did get hold she hump up in a reflexive way, and make like a snorting whinny sound, but she never moved away. I think she was really trying to let Dot get a hold, but reflexes caused her to arch up her back which pulled the teat out of Dot's mouth. Jenny, my daugher, and I finally helped. I stood at Belle's head and patted her, to get her attention off what the foal was doing. It took nearly 2 hours to get the foal nursing good. That worried me, because the book said they should nurse in 1 hours. I think books tend to be "ideal". If she hadn't got the job done with in the next 30 minutes I would have called the vet. But since they were both doing their best, I waited a bit, and it all worked out fine.
