I went and checked her. She's doing well and settling in over at Laurel. They put a Foal Alert monitor in her. I got to help with that. They don't think she's gonna go tonight but you never know. She's showing signs of something... but isn't uncomfortable or anything like that.

She trotted around the paddock when I got there and looked very alert and interested in everything.

I will keep everyone posted!!

That's correct, it's a foaling facility. It's very close to me and the Vet there is very well regarded around here.

She's in good hands.

Just went to check her. she's doing great. Settled in and very happy. Not sure what she's gonna do, but I think she's a few days out still. She looks good and is relaxed..

There are so many cute babies out there. Fun place, fun time of year!

There is the most darling Fresian baby out there. A big black robust colt.

There's also a very cute Popeye K foal..

I can't wait for mine!! :clap:

LaGringa, how long will your mare stay there after she foals? Does Laurel Inc have a website? I'm curious and love to see other people's facilities.

As a child, I remember there was a "midwife" man who came to the farm to stay with a mare who was due to foal. This was long ago, in the 50's, before any kind of monitors or anything. I think he camped out in the stall with the mare at night. Times sure have changed.

I don't think she has a website yet. Her clinic has been up and running for 5 years she said. It's Dr Ellen Stephens. It's outside of Marshall VA on Atoka Road. I have heard very good things about her from friends of mine and people around this area.

She has a very nice new barn, several nice paddocks with run in sheds. She's a in a great location for this!

If you look up Laurel Inc "foaling" on Google you might be able to get some more information. I found her really through word of mouth.

I used Dr Chris Adams from Piedmont Equine to do the insemination. She did a nice job for me. I just needed to take my mare to a foaling facility because I board my mare and work all the time and can't be there for the middle of the night stuff etc..

So far so good. I am keeping my fingers crossed for a healthy delivery!

That whole Suerte Hostage thing on Coth had me a bit nervous! I hope that my mare doesn't drag it along that long!! I watched Suerte with my mom last night on the cam, have her foal. It was exciting!

I was in the hospital this week with that flu virus I had, I was worried all of this would happen while I was in there. Thank god she waited for me to be well! I've had a pretty rough week this week. Glad it's over..

I will keep you all posted! I can't wait for the little one!! It's my first foal so we are very excited. :cheer:
