Things are always exciting at Showgate Stables! This Friday, Barbie called me and said that Lexie was at the barn helping Sam through her first delivery. I went to the barn and it was a party! The new foal was about 10 minutes old and already had visitors! Doug, Lexie, Pat, Chelsea's baby brother, Jessica, Karla and Mike, me, and even Dr. Lenke showed up! And Barbie was there via phone and text, sharing in the excitement, while she worked hard at Equineaffaire! What a popular little foal from a great mare! I am so impressed by Lexie. She takes such good care of Sam and had noticed just the day before that she was bagging up seriously, so it wasn't a bit of a surprise 24 hours later when she went into labor. Lexie was there and helped walk her, comfort her, and care for her even when Sam cast herself in her stall. Lexie is very much that mare's guardian angel and good best friend!
