Murphy's law......

It never fails......If a mare is due, it waits until 20 minutes after I leave for work and the wife is home by herself to give birth. If I am there, there are no problems, If not, well you know.
Wife's mare was 2 weeks and a couple days late, just had her out of the stall in the sun while I cleaned house for her, put her back in and was taking care of the rest and getting ready to leave. Wife yells that she's not acting right (5 minutes later). She's nervous and sweating but eating. Watch a little and she calms down. I go to work and am here 20 minutes and get a call that things look like trouble. Make arrangements to leave and get a call with wife panicking on the other end that it is laying wrong. Put up a sign, forward the phone to my cell, and speed home. 500 meters outside town phone rings, wife says "stay at work, everything is fine". I went on home and find the wife looking like she just came out of the mare with a big cheesy grin on her face and a little dun filly laying there looking at me. I left, but think everything is fine.

Got another one due tomorrow and I don't work until next Friday, wanna guess when it will be born????
