sadly:(

So the colt i've been waiting for was born on wednesday afternoon. Sadly the breeder was not there to witness, nor help assist in foaling. So when the baby was finally born, the placenta(sp?) didn't break and the baby died:( he was a dark palomino colt with a full back blanket. Choosen name: Razzle. Comments?

Oh, I am soo sorry. What a disappointment that must be. I am glad that the mare is ok.

Awe I'm so sorry to hear that. Glad the mare is OK.

Awww, I'm so sorry. That is my worst nightmare. So sad.

Maybe he was born dead??? If he was, that could explain why mum didn't bother cleaning him off...

Sorry for your loss Appy!

That's very sad! I'm sorry to hear that.

Usually the placenta comes off rather easily. Was the mare being fed fescue hay. Most foals and calves I have seen born break thier face out of the placenta before they are all the way out. Like a previous poster said, I wonder if the foal was still born. It really doesn't matter much now but it is sometimes helpful to know the next time.
