Sorry I've been so delayed in posting this - Rain foaled a healthy chocolate colt at 3 am on Tuesday morning. We had several problems after an easy birth, one involving Rain stepping on his face, to not having any milk, and having terrible cramps when we gave her oxytocin and leading me to believe she died at one point since she would stop breathing during the contraction.
After a shaky start there, he had a normal level of antibodies in his system when the milk finally came and he's now a healthy, rambunctious colt. He loves nothing more than to run circles around his mama. He was originally down in the pasterns but they have straightened up substantially.
Here is Rhythm 'N Blues (pending) aka Jazz!
Just a few hours old:
His first outing at 11 hours old:
And at 3 days old:
Haha... tons of issues posting pictures but they are finally up. :)
I also have videos of his escapades!
