But dealing with a crypt I can understand why you'd rather see two.<br /><br />He is sucking, just not well.<br /><br />phaedra, bright is not a word I would use at this time. If he looked bright, I'd be happy. He is alert and that's good.<br /><br />Tammy Lee, you're right about the work, it's a lot right now.<br /><br />PPG, surprises, who? me? <br /><br />Solidare was checked out ok to bred by more than one vet. That's what has been so frustrating. Like you, had I been told there was any risk, I would definitely not have bred.<br /><br />Can you do an embryo transfer from your mare?

I hope you aren't waiting to upload some bad surprises on that front... And I hope the foal is okay too. His face is so adorable!<br /><br />Our first foal was born a week premature, what you've written so far reminds me of him. I've been following Solidare's story closely cause once I was offered a free breeding to a nice stud for my older Arab mare (who's still my best bud now at 27) and I desperately wanted another baby out of her. I have one purebred filly, but she is very narrow and tiny (personality-wise though, I couldn't ask for any better). Anyway, my vet told me another pregnancy might be too much for my girl, so I never bred her, though I still long for a baby that more resembles her badly. Reading about Solidare makes me feel as though I made the right decision to not breed her then.PaintedPonyGrrlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13164819580835242619noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6053415389447235937.post-6987946896803904752010-04-19T16:48:48.755-07:002010-04-19T16:48:48.755-07:00this really does sound like a lot of work.

I suspect Solidare laying down as much as she did at the end of the pregnancy had an affect on this guy. <br /><br />He does have a very sweet face and so far I've not really captured it well in pics. His face really reminds me of Rhythm. Hopefully I'll get a shot that shows the similarities with him and his full brother.Rising Rainbowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04239592070775412669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6053415389447235937.post-5555782335714235102010-04-18T19:57:31.076-07:002010-04-18T19:57:31.076-07:00fernvalley, you are getting ahead of the story. So...fernvalley, you are getting ahead of the story. So far I've just covered the first few hours and there is more to come. Let me just say, the only thing this colt did easily was pee. <br /><br />Arlene, Solidare is definitely feeling much better. That's been a relief. I was surprised to see something hanging down underneath a half cocked taik. To be honest at first it didn't compute. Had to lift the tail to see what was up. Then I was disappointed. Had Dave gotten it right in the first place, I'd have been OK with a colt.
