In the darkness, it was a dire and desperate situation. No matter how hard the mare tried, her large foal was stuck and she needed help. Horse Haven farm manager Carrie Drake remembered each moment with striking clarity. “It started out and seemed normal. But he was so big that we could not get him out. We had everyone at the farm and the neighbors. We were pulling and pulling and pulling and he was not coming out. (It’s not good) when they go that long without oxygen. He was pressing on the little umbilical cord and still hanging inside his mother. I had oxygen on him.
