Beauty Foal Delivery


We kept Beauty in her stall Sunday because of the weather. Our horse Beauty delivered Monday morning. Beauty had a baby filly. Nikki is 150 pounds. When my Mom went out to feed the horses Beauty was standing in the middle of a wet stall and the baby was curled up in the corner. The baby was still wet, so we figured she was born between 7 and 8 o’clock Monday morning January 21 2008. She is wobbly on her legs, but she has been nursing. We weren’t able to get a vet to come out so we drove to McDonough and got the tetanus shot. We hope everything will continue to go okay. We guessed at February being that Beauty was going to have the baby. She delivered a month early.
