A Colt
I was up at midnight checking the camera and all was quiet. The next time I checked it was 1:15 am and Rosaleigh was right in the middle of delivering, laying down and pushing. I watched on the monitor as the foal was born then got dressed, got the towels and headed to the barn. This is a strong big colt. I got him almost dry with Rosaleigh's help
Within minutes he was struggling to stand.
I didn't pay attention to the time but it was probably around 1:45 am when he was able to stand and take a few steps.
The stall was cleaned up and fresh straw put down. Rosaleigh's water buckets were filled and while I was working Star's stall was cleaned up too. Mark came down to check on the foal. The video below is of right after he was cleaned up, his struggle to stand and his first few steps.
I left them alone then, hopefully he figured out how to nurse. It looks like on the monitor he is nursing but I'll check that out better later this morning, right now I need to get a little more sleep.
