She's standing back at the door again and has her right rear leg raised, she is miserable, poor thing.

Boy, that really looked like a "foal positioning" roll. Joan, she rolled onto her back, almost completely over, and we all got really excited, then she just got up and is standing there agian with her nose against the outside door.

Well I guess that is an improvement over her butt against the wall holding the baby in

amma

The way she shifts back and forth on her feet... she has to be hurting....she needs some Tylenol....codeine...poor baby :(

Joan

It sounded that way to me, too---that rolling is important from what I gather.

I wonder if they ever call a Vet to assist births??????

amma

that's true, sharon!!!

amma

only when there is a problem or they know for sure there will be a problem

Ninnie

I about had a fit when she rolled, I thought that was IT!!

Going to go put a pot of coffee on.

Kay talked to her neighbor about Patches, she has more experience with foaling mares.
