24.01.2022 Very excited to have a Fursten Look baby due this season.

18.01.2022 Foal spam alert! Caringa Rivage ch colt. 12.11.16 (Riverside x Cashel House xx) Very happy with how this guy is maturing. FOR SALE.

18.01.2022 Second and last baby for the year. A gorgeous golden Palomino filly by Crowns Ace Of Pearl (IFS) out of Royal Hit/ Sirocco mare 'Iraina Park Royality'. This little lady should be a jumping machine if she gets either of her parents talent!

16.01.2022 I had the pleasure of making a special delivery today. Rosco (Caringa Supernova) by Goldmine Illusion ex TB mare. Went to his new home at Pages Flat with Vicki Burton. It was a hard decision to sell him but i couldn't be happier with his new home and he has settled in like he has been there for years! I will still get to see him often and he will be treated like the King he thinks he is!

14.01.2022 Know the 3 stages of labor in your mare: Horse owners who are expecting foals this year should know how to recognize the signs of labor in the foaling mare and ...recognize when things are abnormal. The normal gestation length can range from 320-360 days, with the average being around 340 days. The first 2 stages of labor will be discussed in this post, stage 3 will be discussed later. Stage one The mare’s uterus starts to contract during this stage, also the foal will reposition itself for the birthing process (head and front legs extended). The first stage is generally the longest and averages from 1-4 hours. Most mares will act restless, circling her stall or paddock. She may get up and down frequently, pass small amounts of feces/urine and act nervous. The mare may also seem colicky, so showing signs of abdominal discomfort like looking at her sides, pawing and sweating. In some mares these signs are not that obvious, especially is she had foals previously. Abnormal: if this stage lasts >6 hrs it is wise to contact your vet. Stage two This stage begins when the mare’s ‘water’ breaks (rupturing of the so called chorioallantoic membrane and release of allantoic fluid) and ends with the delivery of the foal. This stage is quite explosive and usually takes 15-20 minutes to complete. Most mares will lay down on their side. It is wise to start keeping track of time once the water breaks. Normally the whitish-blue so called amniotic sack (with the foals head and front feet) should become visible at the vulva after approximately 5-10 minutes. In a normal delivery the soles of the foal’s feet should be pointing down and one front foot is generally slightly ahead (4 in) of the other and the foal’s muzzle will be on it’s knees. The mare will continue to push the foal out with the widest part being across the shoulders. If the amniotic sac has not ruptured during labor and is covering the foal’s head and nose it should be torn and pulled back from the foal’s nose immediately so it can breathe. At the end of the delivery the foal’s hind feet are usually still in the mare’s vagina, these will be pulled out once the foal attempts to stand up. Right after delivery the foal is still connected to it’s mum via the umbilical cord. The cord will break once the mare stands up. It is important to leave mare and foal lying down quietly for approximately 15 minutes so the blood from the mare’s placenta is pushed into the foal. Note: if everything seems to be progressing normally it is important not to intervene as this can disrupt the birthing process and can actually cause problems. Common mistakes whilst ‘helping’ are: - pulling on the front foot that is slightly behind to the level of the other foot, this will make the foal wider across the shoulders! - helping the mare by pulling on the foal to get it out faster, this can damage the mare on the inside if she is not given enough time to relax and lubricate. - breaking the umbilical cord manually, this is usually not necessary, as the cord will break at a designated spot once the mare stands up. - making the mare/foal get up straight away after parturition, this will cause the cord to break too soon and will prevent a lot of blood from flowing from the placenta to the foal. It is oke and normal for the pair to rest and lie down for 15-20 minutes. Abnormal: It is wise to call you vet if no aminiotic sac/fetal parts are visible after 15 mins of the mare’s ‘water’ breaking, if the foal’s feet are upside down, if one/both of the feet is missing, if the head is missing, if the foal’s hind-end is coming out first or if the mare becomes acutely painful or seems in shock. Furthermore, if you see a red velvety bag instead of the whitish-blue amniotic sac this is a sign that the mare’s placenta has detached prematurely and this is an emergency situation, the foal needs to be delivered as soon as possible! You should consult with your veterinarian prior to when your mare is due to discuss what you should do if this situation occurs.
