Rainbow Dash has had her foal! We are happy to welcome "Sky Wishes" to this world!
Unfortunately, it didn't get recorded, but the birth went very smoothly.
Here's a quote from one live viewer... "I watched the birth. I have to say it was one of the most calm, professional births I've ever seen on MareStare. Dash did wonderfully, and little SkyWishes is just adorable! Well done Pipsqueak Paddocks and well done Dash!"
Our vet arrived moments after the little one had popped out. Dash did most of the work, but I did feel the need to apply a bit of holding pressure on the foal after the two feet and nose had appeared. Three sets of contractions later, out she came! She was up-and-at-em in no time flat! Dash is being a terrific mother!
You can view videos of Sky Wishes just after she's born, plus her first day out in the sunshine, as well as photos on her page here >>> Sky Wishes!
As far as everyone else is concerned... let's see...
Frodo is back here at our main facility, just getting the last of his boosters etc before he goes to his new home in May!
Magpie is doing fabulous. We're down to some small-change sized wounds. LOL Well, a toonie and a quarter anyways.
Cinnabar and Bilbo are rough-and-tumble friends... always doing something and getting up to no good! LOL
Hula, Willow and Starbright are still enjoying their foster homes.
Chaka and Honeysuckle have been Adopted! Honey left a few days ago and we're delivering Chaka tomorrow! We're also picking up two new faces on our way back, so stay tuned for more details!
AND, little miss Twilight took one look at Dash's foal and decided to start bagging up. We'll be swapping her into the camera stall pretty quick!
