It's a GIRL

Rosalie delivered a big beautiful all black filly this morning at 12:39 am. The stall was not bedded in straw nor was her tail wrapped because the testing showed blue at 175 giving us practically no chance of a baby tonight. At least the stall had been freshly bedded. I was sound asleep in the house with the foaling monitor on loud when I heard a noise, checked the monitor and there was Rosalie giving birth. By the time I got dressed and up to the barn Rosalie was standing and the filly was trying to stand.

She was wiped down with a towel then the stall tackled. Getting all that wet bedding out of the stall and fresh straw put down. Below is her first stand.



I left for the house once she was rooting around in the right place. By 1:30 am she had latched on and the placenta dropped. All is WELL! Thankful for a safe delivery OUT of the snow in a nice dry stall very thankful and another healthy foal.
