We've had four more foals since the last time I updated.

First, Angie had a colt by SJ's Caviar. She decided to have it in the middle of the afternoon, and the foal was upside down with one leg pulled back and the elbow locked. The vet was 45 minutes out, so my afternoon consisted of physically hauling Angie up and down the barn while Brenda tried to reposition the baby. There was blood everywhere. Luckily, we were able to get the baby out safely. He's doing well now, but we had some complications alone the way including a locked stifle, an injured shoulder (from the birth), urine out his belly button, and the day he overheated and had to be brought in on the back of the Gator and physically cooled off (he had a temp of 106!!!) Thankfully, we seem to be past that and he's a very friendly little guy as a result of all the attention.



Meanwhile, Ella had a filly by Conway Hall. The birth went normally and there have been no problems since.



Next was Azalea, who gave birth to a beautiful Western Ideal filly. You guys met her in my recent deviation, "Spitfire". She's a ball of energy and loves nothing more than running circles around her poor mother.



And finally, Louder gave birth to an enormous colt by Credit Winner. While the birth went well, the foal has legs so long that he had a hard time standing at first. His pasterns got wrapped for a few days and he is now able to tag along with his mom.



Only four more babies to go!

One last thing:
Brenda requested that I put up a picture of her 'famous dog', Kole. So here it is:
