My daughter has been watching along and says that she looks as though she is the 1st stage of labor. Good luck

Does look like she's having contractions, but then again I've never seen contractions on a webcam before!

I watched for a few minutes and she started pawing. Man that's nerve-wracking. I couldn't stand it..

Congrats! (Can't believe I missed the big event. We've been watching from work for several days. )

My wife and I watched last night and kept up on your message board. It was fairly scary at times. What happened to the board? Its not working this morning. I can't believe that you had to deal with a crazy lady in the middle of it all. Heres to a happy, healthy colt.

Congratulations! I love the picture of him standing under his dam

He won't be able to do that for long

I love your pictures--especially the last one!

I have never been around a foal that is this friendly. He makes me forget my common sense. Like letting him sit on my lap and suck on my face. Its so cute and fun that he wants to do that but it won't be long until sitting on my lap would put me in the hospital or worse. I will try to set a better example of proper behavior....
I got a call from the barn owner this afternoon that almost stopped my heart. She said Nick just jumped a fence. I was thinking the four foot fence outside so I asked if he was ok and she said yes. Apparently he just calmly cantered up to one of the jumps that was set up in the arena and went right over it with three people watching in awe!

When they are that friendly it is hard to teach them proper manners, trust me - that freaking Invasor colt would wait for me to come to the stall in the evenings and sit down in it so he could lay his head on my lap. Little brat is a total hellion now

Won't be playing that game any time soon - HA! Although it hard to resist isn't it! He is a cutie. At least it wasn't a fence :shock:

Watch him however. All of mine in the past two years have jumped the fences at my farm. That's colts for you - I am doing a filly dance again this year!!!!
