Jenis Had a COLT!

Last night around 8:30 as Raven was getting his nightly grain, we see Jenis had just delivered her baby. The boy is STRONG, springing to his feet quickly. They were brought outside the pasture and Rhoda watched them while the puppies were moved over into a smaller stall and the foaling stall was prepared. Mike and Diane came over to help. He was nursing well by midnight. How wonderful it was not to have to climb in the car and drive home. Living here I could walk a few feet open the door and collapse into bed. We are SO THANKFUL the window air is in and working. Yesterday was another scorcher and today is suppose to be the same.
Jenis delivered her placenta intact with no problem. The colt is nursing well this morning. The song that keeps running through my mind is the Swiss song, All is Well.
TSC will need to be visited for more bedding, heat indexes are to rise into the 100s for the next 4 days meaning both Sanna and Jenis will need to be stalled with the air on FULL BLAST. We will also need to purchase some square bales.
