I slept in the barn 10 nights with my mare so I would be there. The night it happened, I feed all the horses then climbed into my cot. It was the first night that I was able to pull my cot out into the run rather then being in the stall. I was laying there looking at the stars:)

I suddenly realized Belle was very quiet. She usually made lots of noise while she ate. I got up and looked at her. She was standing there with her nose in the feed bucket but not eating, as I leaned down to see what she was doing I put my hand on her shoulder. She was sweating.

I went to the house got Mack called the kids, and it was barely 45 minutes later that she had it. The coolest thing was right after Dot came, Belle, still laying down looked back and "talked" to Dot. She made this sound that I'd never heard before or since, just a rumble in her throat that sounded like a tractor trying to start. She only did that about twice. I'd love to know what she said:)
