Foals on a roll!

[Gerry]

Well finally we are starting foaling season...all it took was 8 inches of snow (been falling constantly since 6am) and me getting no sleep since I decided at the last minute to drive 4.5hrs to pick up a mare yesterday afternoon. I got home at 1am to find one mare close to foaling..she did foal at 4:30 a big beautiful filly but since she isnt mine I cant give out details except that mom and baby are doing wonderfully. So of course then I thought I could get some sleep only to find Pat C in mild labor and Girl Gone Wild also considering it

Here we are 14hrs later....since I am inside Pat C is probably foaling as I type and Girl will foal tonite. So lets go for 48 hrs of no sleep....I LOVE this time of year!!!! I swear after playing with the babies I am going to sleep for 24hrs, and put off breeding for a day..dont tell the studs!

Somehow they know when it's the most inconvenient time to foal, don't they? I think they take bets among themselves... who can stress the owner out the most?

Congrats, and rest up... sounds like you'll need it! (Although I must say, I'm working on a good 3 months or so without a decent night's sleep, and after a while, you just get used to it...) Where's that yawning smiley?

Gerry, maybe your ladies will foal before bedtime tonight just to thank you for all your help.
