Hawthorn Hill Foxtrotters

The goal of Hawthorn Hill Foxtrotters is to promote usefulness and versatility in order to restore the breed’s credibility as a true working horse that quite frankly, it lacks these days. Gaited horses were the first choice of mount for cowboys “back in the day” when they needed a comfortable horse with good worth ethic that was capable of going all day long. Now, all you see in the working pens are Quarter Horses. Achieving a change in perception toward our breed requires producing safe, athletic horses with naturally good dispositions, conformation, correct gait, and substantial size. A range of horses are offered for sale from weanlings to finished riding horses, ready for the trail, show ring, and everything in between. These horses are loved and handled daily from birth, and it shows in their love and trust toward humans.

Well done on your part in displaying what to do and what not to do for pre-labor, during labor, and after labor process. Some interfere too much that can cause potential problems and it is important to be well informed and educated for a successful outcome. Two of the common errors of interfering is pulling the foal out too quickly where the foal is at risk of being a "dummy foal" a term used when the nervous system of the foal didn't get long enough time in the transition stage in the birth canal that wakes up the foal's nervous system and also the pressure needed to squeeze out the amniotic fluid in the lungs. Also pulling the foal can put the foal's joints at risk of dislocating, along with putting the mare's uterus at risk of prolapsing and internal taring. The other common error is interfering too much after the foal is born in imprinting when the foal and mare need the time to bond. You did a fantastic job walking through the entire process!
