I was not actually talking about the Birth process, but the waiting
for the birth.....so please do not think we take the foaling process
lightly.....Sally is a Doctor....and we live in hawaii, so its warm
outside too! So We do not have the leave em alone thing...just the
more we anticipate a birth it seems to take longer, thats the way it
is with anything in life, christmas morning, a trip to Disneyland,
anything your really anticipating.
Sallys favorite mare had her last foal right next to our bedroom in
the grass...she picked her spot, and it was as close to us as
possible.
