Quote: What is a "marestare"? I had closed circuit cameras in my foaling stall with monitors in two rooms of the house flicking back and forth between the cameras. It's the live feed that links us with the camera.

Hmm...I must have missed it when I was typing. I don't think anyone is stupid, but there is a point where things need to be left alone. As for the birthing..the water broke and literally 30 seconds after that, they started pulling the foal. I didn't realize the mare had issues with her...

Did someone call her stupid? I didn't see that anywhere on here.

Um...why is she still acting like she's giving birth?

They're knotting it. It's to keep her from stepping on the placenta and ripping it. Edit: This way, gravity plays a good part in having the entire placenta come out whole.

OK. I feel better now.

It's not that...I'm used to seeing a mare stand up fairly soon after a birthing. She hasn't gotten up yet.

I think the mare got a bit torn up on that one...

Not good....

Here It Comes!!!!

*kick*

OK...someone's hand WAS in there....wondering what they were doing.

What if they are breaking the water outside of the stall so it doesn't soil the bedding?

Why the heck are they backing her out?!

Is it just me wishing, or has the foal moved closer to the mare's rump?

Steam is part of it! The mare that I was able to sit in on did hers standing up. Beautiful palomino colt came out of her too!

The more they disturb her, the longer it's gonna take. They need to go in when the water breaks to clean up. Ah, but what do I know...I have a gelding!

You watch...she'll stop the process now because she's relieved herself. All that turning and flopping must have helped the poo...

You sure? I thought that was poop?
