Re: Silo is foaling!!!
Can't see much right now anyway. Baby is hiding. :lol:
Hey Andrea, the call you got from Mare Stare (Laurie) was prompted by me. :lol: I thought for sure I saw her sac, but as soon as I had her call you (didn't have my phone close by) she got up and it wasn't there. :laugh1 Thankfully it appeared within moments. I knew she was ready.
Oh I can't wait to see this one!!!
Re: Silo is foaling!!!
I'm like 90% sure I see a dipped tail. At least 1/3-1/2 of the tail (the bottom part of course) looks totally white. No, I reallllllllly don't think it's baby flaxen. It looks like a splash dipped tail. I can't wait to see what other white might be hiding in the glare of the cam!
Re: Silo is foaling!!!
Ok well it's good to know I'm not the only one. You are only the second person I've heard say that so I thought it might work.
Have you tried standalones? It's fantastic and works on every system.

Re: Silo is foaling!!!
The fix is for versions of firefox before 3.0 came out I think...and I use chrome and opera mostly, they dont bog down like firefox does. And chrome has a shiny new beta! The standalone didnt work in chrome just because it automatically turned the address bar into a search bar, lol. But i tried in firefox, and it's all hunky dorey! Except, does andrea's barn *have* a standalone link listed?
Re: Silo is foaling!!!
yay! Now i have that a little Silo on top of my biomed homework!
which reminds me, if you don't already have deskpins, you neeeeed it. It's an amazing program, especially if you like to do more than one thing at once, lol. I use it constantly, to keep an IM window on top or a hulu program or a notepad document or whatever. http://users.forthnet.gr/pat/efotinis/p…" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
back on topic....
it's killing me!!!! I see them in there looking at the baby, but....i wanna see it tooooo! I keep telling them to go inside and get online and show me a picture, but they just won't listen to me! lol! I know if that were mine i'd be glued to it, lol.
Re: Silo is foaling!!!
LOL. You guys are too funny!
Thank you all for watching!
It's a FILLY! She is the spitting image of Frodo right down to the skunk tail! She's got more of a feminine head which is great. She's got very large brown eyes. She is just too precious!
Silo did really well. I was stalling a bit as I didn't want her to hear my car and interupt the process. The barn owner was there on hand just in case. It was almost a text book foaling as far as I could tell. Silo was really uncomfortable after though. Silly me thought it was normal for the mare to be up and down like that. But this morning I called the vet first thing so he could check her and the filly.
After Silo pooped she was much better so I think she was a little colicy. Filly got the all clear from the vet and IG test was very high and all looks well.
Barn name for the filly is Ditto and she is bay. We're still thinking up registered names. Can't settle on anything yet.
She is very independant. After a little help getting up, she figured out her legs and was playing Mario Andretti cruising around as Silo was resting. This morning she was galloping from one end of the stall to the other. She's a hoot! And strong! Or I'm weak :lol:
I'm tearing the house up looking for my card reader. Grrrr. As soon as I find it, I'll post pictures!
Re: Silo is foaling!!!
nawww, the pony next door is being mean to them. he keeps striking the wall, you can see it bend.
jeeeze, silo's kicking at him now.
can't wait for pics, im so excited!
eta, i dunno what the horse next door thinks, lol. he looked like he was just yawning, but the he started pawing the wall again. either way, silo has herself figured out. she's a good protective mommy.
Re: Silo is foaling!!!
Yeah, the horse next to them "Diesal" is a good boy. He's been around lots of babies and is really curious. Silo just needs to show him she's in charge. Hopefully he'll get bored soon. It's one of the bad things about foalling at a boarding facility.
ACC. I can't believe how accurate you were in Ditto's color. I can't even see that clearly on my monitor. I barely could see when I was there! Down to the tail!
Re: Silo is foaling!!!
