It was another EARLY baby here at Promised Land Farm.
Immortal Blessing ALWAYS foals 5 days early, this time she went 6 early, presenting us with a lovely golden buckskin colt with left hind sock and a few white hairs on his forehead, at 9:42 PM last night.
Blessing never even broke a sweat, laid down like she just wanted a nap, went flat on her side, her water broke, and by the time I got to the stall, there were already two feet and a NOSE presented. I took a pic, removed the sac from his nose, and she gave a good push, and SWOOSH, there he was! :0)
And he is a STRONG healthy baby at that! He STOOD up on his FIRST attempt, all by himself, no falling into walls, no wobbling around, just one-two three- UP. And that was at 35 minutes old!
I think he and his mom had a plan to help me out after Lovies difficult birth and getting baby up and down to be sure he was nursing for six hours after he was born. It was like they said, "Its okay lady. We got this one handled." LOL
He stood on his own, nursed with alittle guidence, passed some manure a few times, and was up and down nursing on his own enough, that I was back to the house and in BED by 12:30 AM! HALLELIUAH!
WOW, now that the way its supposed to go! :)
Proud daddy is SFG Infinity And Beyond. This makes two buckskin fillies and one buckskin colt for this cross. And for this year so far, it gives "Buzz" one palomino filly and one buckskin colt.
