Chances roll away from me

Alder followed her instructions perfectly and it wasn’t long until the shoulders found their way through the narrow birthing channel and the rest of the foal quickly followed. Landing in a steamy, slimy pile in the bedding. Anann moved in quickly, grabbing a long piece of straw from the stall floor she shoved it a couple inches up the newly born foals nose, causing it to snort and rid it’s nasal passages of any birthing fluids. Then she lifted one of the rear legs to sex the foal, it was a colt. By this time, Lumiere had already turned around eager to see the result of her pain and effort. ”Well done, she turned to Alder with a smile and a clasp on the shoulder, ”both of you.” For now everything was as it should be. They would still need to keep an eye on the pair and make sure the colt nursed and relieved his bowels in the next few hours. For it was not uncommon for a newborn to easily become constipated and their systems could quickly go toxic. For now though, there was no danger in giving the new mother and her child a moment alone. ”Let’s leave them be for now, but you’ll need to check in on them in the next hour or so.” Getting up she left the stall, waiting on the other side to close the door behind Alder. ”Congratulations on delivering your first foal, you did perfectly.” A broad smile on the woman’s face for the first time in weeks, but how could one not be happy just seeing a new life brought into the world.
