Baby No.4 not meant to be...a little rain did fall...

Our last foal was stillborn last night. Everything was proceeding fine at first. I was delighted the mare started to go into labor as she was very, very big and had been 3 weeks late last year. But the foal never took a breath however. The vet says sometimes there is a premature separation of the umbilical cord and then they almost always do not make it. :( So I have a sad mom and a sad me. The first time I have not gone back to bed very tired but exhilarated after a foaling. This one was just sad.
