This is a death sentence.  So when a foal becomes lodged it is usually a very tight area that I am working in.  Often, once the chain is around the leg it is still a hard job to get the leg out.  I have handles that then attach to the chains and usually I and who ever is helping are down on the ground with our legs planted in the mare's thighs bracing ourselves to pull out the body part. On one foaling this year it took two hours to get the chain around the foal's legs. It still took me and two big men to get the leg straightened out.  Surprisingly, that foal lived.  Oh, did I mention I am approaching 54 years of age and I am five foot two inches and weigh one hundred and twelve pounds?  A minor detail.  I may be getting on but I am definitely not giving into nature.</div> <bR> <bR> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> Foaling Dystocia on Pony </div> <div> A common position to pull out wedged foals</div> <bR> <bR> <div> <IMG SRC="02258c20.jpg" border=0 width="600" height="450" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <bR> <bR> <bR> <div> Post foaling: introducing the foal to the mare.</div> <bR> <bR> <div> <IMG SRC="023afe00.jpg" border=0 width="431" height="480" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <bR> <bR> <div> <A HREF="whereicomefrom.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Chapter 2">Chapter 2</A></div> <bR> <div> "About Where I Come From"</div> <bR> <bR> <div> <A HREF="greatness.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Chapter 3">Chapter 3</A></div> <div> "A Brush With Greatness"</div> <div>  <A HREF="motherhood.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Chapter 4">Chapter 4</A></div> <div> "Motherhood and Work"</div> <div> <A HREF="cooper.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Chapter 5">Chapter 5</A></div> <div> "Cooper"</div> <bR> <div> <A HREF="team.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Chapter 6">Chapter 6</A></div> <div> "The Team"</div> <bR> <div> <A HREF="missy.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Chapter 7">Chapter 7</A></div> <div> "Missy"</div> <bR> <div> <A HREF="cast.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Chapter 8">Chapter 8</A> </div> <div> "A Cast of Thousands"</div> <bR> <div> <A HREF="herbie.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Chapter 9">Chapter 9</A></div> <div> "George Birchmore and Naryilco Lad"</div> <bR> <div> <A HREF="hew.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Chapter 10">Chapter 10</A> </div> <div> "Health Education and Welfare"</div> <bR> <div> <A HREF="nemo.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Chapter 11 ">Chapter 11</A></div> <div> "Nemo's Death"</div> <bR> <div> <A HREF="sports.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Chapter 12">Chapter 12</A></div> <div> "Sports and Recreation"</div> <bR> <div> <A HREF="rose.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Chapter 13 ">Chapter 13</A></div> <div> "George Pethick and Tora Tora Rose"</div> <bR> <div> <A HREF="drought.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Chapter 14">Chapter 14</A></div> <div> "The Drought"</div> <bR> <div> <A HREF="pullofearth.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Chapter 15">Chapter 15</A></div> <div> "The Pull of the Earth"</div> <bR> <div> <A HREF="hamilton.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Chapter 16">Chapter 16</A></div> <div> "Hamilton"</div> <bR> <div> <A HREF="minicolic.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Chapter 17">Chapter 17</A></div> <div> <B>"Miniature Horse Colic Stories"</B></div> <bR> <div> <A HREF="confidential.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Chapter 18">Chapter 18</A> </div> <div> "SA Confidential"</div> <bR> <div> <A HREF="intervention.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Chapter 19">Chapter 19</A></div> <div> "Divine Intervention"</div> <bR> <bR> <div> Order "Horse Doctor" Now!</div> <bR> <div> Just click on the image below</div> <bR> <div> <A HREF="http://www.iuniverse.com/bookstore/book_detail.asp?&isbn=0-595-36848-4" TARGET="_blank" TITLE="http://www.iuniverse.com/bookstore/book_"><IMG SRC="0b0648d0.jpg" border=0 width="100" height="141" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></A></div> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> </td> </tr></table><table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="2" cellpadding="2"> <tr> <td> <div align="center"><a href="http://search.directnic.com/?aff=9"><img src="http://banners.directnic.com/search/dnsearchad011.gif" width="468" height="60" border="0" alt="directNIC Search"></a></div> </td> </tr> </table> <CENTER> <font color="#FF0000" size="2" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">Hosted by <a href="http://www.directnic.com/" target="_top" style="color: red">directNIC.com</a></font> <br><br>  <script language="Javascript"> // do not make any changes to anything past this point or tracking script will not work var data;
