Panda had a colt on Saturday 4/23/11 at 2:30pm. We were celebrating Easter down at Scott’s parent’s house with his sister, brother in law and nephews. Earlier before we left I saw that Panda was dripping milk. I just had a feeling she would be foaling very soon. Scott said she would wait…so we went [...]

Here is Bruiser…Panda’s foal from 2008. Hasn’t he grown so much? He’s a bay dun tobiano. We’ll start him under saddle real soon.

Well this is new territory. She didn’t do this before…Waxing…what’s that? She has white wax hanging about a 1/4″ off both teats as of noon today. So what does that mean? Well…we’ll just have to wait and see. I’m guess I foal is going to be born soon. Yippee!

Still waiting. 360 days. Man that’s a long time. I just pray everything is ok. Panda’s body is very ready but I guess we’re just waiting on the foal to say “all systems go.” All this next several days we’re expecting rain and thunderstorms. Surely she is going to foal soon.
One person suggested naming her [...]

But I really really think tonight is the night for Panda. When I went to express some milk it shot out. Still a clear/white color but a little on the sweet side. And when I checked her vulva it is bright red and very swollen to where its sticking out.
I just pray that we have [...]

Just in the nick of time…I just about had a total melt down when I went out to see why the webcam wasn’t running and figured out that the computer’s power supply had given up. I couldn’t even get it to turn on. I’m assuming that is why it had kept freezing up the last [...]

Barn computer stopped working… it won’t even turn on. (bad news…as in paper weight probably now) I’m scrambling to piece another older one together to get the webcam back up soon. :<
Switched out computers…back to the old one for now. No Flash streaming until I get another computer going. The old links will work and [...]

Panda is hot and sweaty. I think tonight’s the night for her. Wishing for black and white filly for Panda.
Seneca is doing well. I was able to successfully separate her from her foal earlier today without much fuss. I fed both Panada and her in their stalls and closed the door to [...]

My feelings are just raw right now. I just can’t quit crying about the loss of Seneca’s foal. I am deeply sadden by what happened this morning. Then it is very painful to go out and just be with Seneca right now because of how she is wanting to still protect her foal. [...]

Very sad right now. Seneca foaled at 6:30 this morning. The colt passed at 7:45am. He was doing fine after birth but never did stand and stay on his feet. He also was passing the meconium while he was still on the ground. His respirations seemed fast for a newborn, also like he [...]
