The Horse Breeding - Flicka's Baby Arrives June 26th

Timeline


Bella's birth

6/20

1:30.   Put Flicka  in

5:30.   Picked 5 poops out of the stall.  I have see her pee 4 times since 1:30 as well. 

She is very restless: tail switching, butt rubbing, circling.

Fed 1/2 grain and 5th flake of hay at 6:30.  

She is an eating machine!

8:00 making yawny faces.

10:20: down and might be starting to push...

10:30:  pretty sure stage 2

But false alarm - probably foal repositioning
