Your playmate is here!


So Sunday afternoon I get a call from Cass - Rosie is lying down and looks very close to foaling.

Off I zoom - can't miss seeing this (plus, I was thinking I might get some tips to help with your delivery!)

I get there and Dee, Sav, Marianne and Cass pull up deck chairs. I get everyone a beer and we sit down to watch and wait.

Then it's all on - the white bubble pops out, then a foot, then Rosie gets up, then she lies down, then another foot, then she gets up... on and on it goes.

Eventually though the legs are out and Cass starts pulling the foal out - she asked for help so I grab her and help her pull.

Then Marianne joins in too and the head pops out, then the shoulders, then the back... amazing!

And here's little Petal, a bright bold little bay filly by Lansing.

Of course the whole thing just makes me more excited about your arrival!
