Silhouette's up on Marestare

She's due 2/28 but vet say she'll go early. Just not sure how early. She's streaming clear milk and is flagging her tail a lot. Still very wide though. Need watchers as I'm a nervous wreck that I'm going to miss it! Sire is Frodo and hoping for a spectacular foal! http://www.marestare.com/fcam.php?alias=phoenix" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Camera's on now--little stinker just pushed mom over to the middle of the stall so he could pee where she had been standing to eat.

Sorry all! Long day!
She faked me out last night and snuck a foal! Grrr.
Sorry I missed calls! I headed over when the first call came in but I think my radio was up louder then my phone. LOL
After the comments about EA, I turned off the camera while I dried him off and tried to help him to the milk bar and then again when the vet came to check him out. Vet says Titan is an excellent name as he was handful for my 6.2 foot vet. LOL

He is absolutely adorable! A ditto Ditto. Sadly, I rushed off without a camera so no pictures. Tomorrow I'll start spamming though!
He's got a big blaze, four white legs, his tail is almost completely white, and he's got a faint lightning streak on his withers like Frodo. He does have a little white triangle on his forehead and what looks to be a couple white streaks in his mane. That maybe baby flaxen though.
His name is Titan and looks to be just as adventurous as Ditto. Cutest litte face ever! Nice straight legs and good bone! Brown eyes.
He's just what I wanted! I can just see an amazing matched driving team with him and his daddy!

Dawww! I like the idea of a matched pair! That's awesome!! And Titan is a very cute name! I have been enjoying watching him, nice stress relief to look up from my homework and see him prancing around on my computer. Can't wait for pictures!!! <3

Yay for Silo and Titan! I was sound asleep through the whole thing. Her camera was the first thing I pulled up when I turned on the computer and I did a double take when I saw Titan.

What comments about EA?

Thanks all. I very much was hoping for a colt this time around. I'll let him grow a bit and decide which stallion I'll be gelding...

Comments on EA and really a lot of different foaling threads include: Why didn't you help, why are you helping, let them bond, get it dry, either you do too much or not enought. You can't please all the people all the time, so the only solution was to give a bit of privacy.

Titan is adorable! I love him! I have to work today so will get pictures up as I can.

There is... Mare Stare allows "private cams" where the only people who can see it are the ones you give the link to. They're doing more and more of those due to the EA.

I had thought of doing it, but having as many watchers as possible is too valuable.
Silo had this baby so quickly it wasn't an issue.
The vet cracked me up... He's 6'2 and pretty good looking and a super nice guy.
He was checking Silo out and got to her back end and got a shocked look on his face. My friend who is a vet tech was behind him and he told her "Look at this Shannon!" and Shannon was like "Wow!"
I'm like "What?" thinking she had torn or something.
Vet walked up and said "Don't think I'm weird or anything, but that is the best looking vulva I've seen. No bruising or anything. She's like she never had a foal."
LOL.
