Luci is definitely very agitaed - lots of circling and tail lifting - will she be a tease or is this the real thing!
Kate is on her way up to watch from the house so she's close if she does foal...!
At this rate I hope she gets here soon!

Certainly looks close to me but I'm no expert. I hope Kate gets there in time!!

So do I, looked like it was a real struggle and it might be stuck. Hope everything is OK.

Lots of vibes that Luci & foal are fine. She did seem to be working hard.

I'll have to imagine this.
Camera is only on Kachina and her new baby as I write this. By now, Luci's foal should be here. Hope all is well and mum and baby are doing OK.

That was the most difficult foaling I've seen so far - took an hour to get him out and vet was on his way when finally Cris heaved him out. Big foal for a little mare and she was exhausted come the end and had stopped pushing. I didn't think he was going to make it but the little fighter clung in there and Luci was so, so releived when he was out. Switched cams because I wasn't sure of the outcome and didn't really think it needed to be watched by everyone
But he seems fine and is trying to get to his feet - I have left Stef & Kate down there as I am exhausted too after a long night!
Just hoping Jem doesn't make it a hattrick!

He sure is a frisky boy. And BIG! I see what you mean. He's up and about exploring the stall, and all that's happening within it. Someone just delivered breakfast to Luci.  She seems to be recovering well.
Am very glad everything worked out, and that Mom and baby are ok.
What a wonderful batch of foals you've had in such a short time.
Congratulations!

Well done all, so glad it worked out well. Kate, you must be well chuffed!
Iam taking a guess at a pally colt, (cam may be deceptive?!)
