We named him Justa Royal Handful.

Writing it down helps me to process it as well.<BR/><BR/>Scandalous Flare is interesting. I'll add it to the list. I am so persnicikity about names who knows what will strike me. I dont' know that I have a clue for it stribkes me. lol<BR/><BR/>Lori, you are right. She has grown already. I'm going to have to pull out a larger blanket. lol<BR/><BR/>dj, yes the camera is sagging. I've fixed it once and so has Dave. He says he's going to have to do "something" with it tomorrow so it stays in place. (the man plays cards tonight...so that's why tomorrow. lol)<BR/><BR/>kwdhorses, you're right about it being fast moving. If you don't know what you're looking at, it's over before you have a chance to figure it out. But fast moving is good, the ones that don't move fast are the ones that can turn into real trouble.<BR/><BR/>This filly was born a pistol.......there isn't any "going to be" about it. I love it! lol<BR/><BR/>grey horse, sometimes her antics are frustrating but if the truth be told, I love it when they're like this. I really enjoy the challenge of dealing with such a smart horse.<BR/><BR/>inkeq, I think personalities like these are great if they get channeled in the right direction. I am already working with this filly to teach her that I am the leader. <BR/><BR/>She already knows she's not supposed to bite or kick me so we're on the right track.Rising Rainbowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04239592070775412669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6053415389447235937.post-6648910619621179192008-05-07T13:33:00.000-07:002008-05-07T13:33:00.000-07:00I'm going to go look at the cam, I really wish I w...I'm going to go look at the cam, I really wish I was one to stay with this story from day 1!<BR/><BR/>Stubborn, determined, sounds like Ink lol ;D <BR/>But that personality could mean great things, what do you think?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6053415389447235937.post-55572364468356329762008-05-07T13:13:00.000-07:002008-05-07T13:13:00.000-07:00This little one is a riot.

Very interesting and I am learning alot. I have helped with numerous births and emergencies when I worked for the vet. But normally when we got there something was wrong and it was fast moving and left my head spinning! I am looking forward to breeding my mare, hopefully in a couple of years. Need to get another horse for Savannah to ride. Thanks for sharing her story! I have watched last night and just a minute ago, she is going to be a pistol!kdwhorseshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07927961715923751666noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6053415389447235937.post-575888109798106042008-05-07T10:34:00.000-07:002008-05-07T10:34:00.000-07:00Is your camera sagging?Is your camera sagging?Bill and Darlenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09489582642328030311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6053415389447235937.post-61442248663099410302008-05-07T09:49:00.000-07:002008-05-07T09:49:00.000-07:00Yep a little spitfire, also watched her backing up...Yep a little spitfire, also watched her backing up to mommma and trying to kick her not one or two little bucks, about 5 or 6!!!!!

At a convention I was at I heard a reproductive specialist who was connected to a study on colostrum absorbtion. Those findings stated that it wasn't changes in the colostrum that caused the loss of absorbtion but changed in the lining of the foal's digestive tract. <BR/><BR/>The longer away from foaling the foal ingests colostrum, the less effective that absorbtion will be. The colostrum molecule is large the lining is loosely "woven" so the molecules can go bettween the "holes" to be absorbed into the system. From the point the foal quits getting nourishment from the mare's blood, that "loose woven" lining begins to tighten maken it progressively more difficult to absorb colostrum. <BR/><BR/>The best absorbtion is right after birth with the possible absorbtion rate getting less and less effective as time passes. Based on these findings this vet recommended getting colostrum into the foal asap for the best results.<BR/>He recommended not more than four hours saying that after that a foals are more likel to have low IgG scores.<BR/><BR/>Since I have gone by his recommendations (and I have hand feed a number of foals due to his recommendation to do so when having difficulty getting a foal to nurse quickly) my foals have had great IgG numbers. So I stick by this.<BR/><BR/>mrs mom, boy isn't that the truth. She is definitely a pistol.<BR/><BR/>jackie, I love the foals with strong personalities like this as well. I am having a blast with this filly.<BR/><BR/>callie, not going to be.......she is a pistol! lol<BR/><BR/>molly, I think we're going to be doing lots of things to second guess this filly. lolRising Rainbowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04239592070775412669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6053415389447235937.post-39619665358411313182008-05-07T06:08:00.000-07:002008-05-07T06:08:00.000-07:00This baby is just so wonderful!

It was fast, quick, 'text book', and he was up fast and hungry. Now he's the laziest horse in the world lol.<BR/><BR/>Nice to know the 4 hour window thing. I was always told 6 hours. So, now I have something else to write down in my notebook.<BR/><BR/>I've been watching her and I have to laugh at her little bucking cirlces.
