Horse Birth DIDN’T GO AS PLANNED!😬 + Baby Horse Name And Weight Reveal!

[@hummingbird_chirps8520]

I'm feeling so honored that Sioux's colt was named "Lakota"... made me tear up knowing that I had a part in naming this beautiful colt; and though, I'll probably never get to meet Lakota or Sioux... a bond has begun... Thank you so much, JR, Emery, and Bekha for this blessed honor... 🦋💜💜💜💜💜💜💜🦋

[@AdgTee21]

Oh congrats! So wonderful! 🐴

[@Luckybetta]

It is a perfect name! ❤

[@glendacisneros982]

😂❤😂yes!! It's a beautiful name for the little fellow!😊

[@glendacisneros982]

Thank you for the suggestion!!😂

[@lindadonaghy9421]

Poor girl ❤❤❤

[@cherylmarquez2645]

What a big baby boy, and legs that go on forever. I love how she caressed him with her neck & head, she's going to be an awesome momma. 🥰

[@fleetskipper1810]

He is a big boy. The mare is responding to him very well. Thanks for all your constant attention. Had she given birth in a field alone, she might’ve ended up in real trouble.

[@Luckybetta]

I was thinking the same thing! 😢

[@rebeccarothfuss-ym3gs]

Poor Sioux, rough delivery for first time. Thank goodness JR knows how to be a horse midwife. Also so glad that she went to vet to get post partem stitches. What I like most about your farm is that you don't hesitate to do whatever is necessary to medically take care of your horses. You make their welfare, their health a priority. Thank you for being such kind hearted people and such responsible owners. God must smile when he looks down on your farm. He gave us dominion over the animals and that includes caring for them; and you make Him proud. Bless your family and all your animals. ❤😊

[@kristawilson718]

Well said, Rebecca!!! I think we can ALL Agree!! ❤🐎❤️

[@Luckybetta]

I was just thinking that a lot of women DON'T get the luxury of post partum stitches, either because of where they live in the world, or just blatant medical neglect. I had wondered with the previous mare births on this channel, what would happen if a mare tore during birthing? Same as a human, who knew? Thank you for giving your mare the utmost care guys! And thank goodness for Jr always knowing what to do for horse midwifery! He probably saved Sioux from sustaining even more injuries!

[@et4615]

❤️🙏🏻

[@gundadertinger1737]

​@@Luckybetta it is

[@marilyngettman1440]

Wonderful to watch!!! I loved it!!!!!!!!

[@julianorris6942]

Your pronunciation of Sioux is unique. I grew up in South Dakota and we aways pronounced it like "Soo". Beautiful colt!

[@christinemilner9794]

I’m from Texas and that is the way it is pronounced here as well. It took me a bit to understand what she was calling the mare.

[@arribaficationwineho32]

Same

[@fangybyte]

so͞o is the correct pronunciation. Of course, people from different areas may be unaware and try to pronounce things phonetically (I get that all the time with my name lol). Gorgeous mare and foal, regardless.

[@Doxymeister]

When we were growing up, our family used to take road trips through the western states, spending a lot of time in the south-west. My family had a ton of good laughs at how us kids pronounced many of the names. Personal favorites were "Tuck-sun (Tucson, AR)" and "Al-buck-kwer-kwer (Albuquerque, NM)", LOL. So glad I grew up in Oklahoma, where I got plenty of practice with Native American city/town names!😊

[@karaamundson3964]

"Soix" is a family name from when the kids were little. They know how the name is pronounced, it's just a nickname

[@stardust949]

When you've been through child birth---and know all the variables that can happen----you really appreciate just how powerful and fragile life can be. It's miracle ANY of us are here!

[@paulasavala8701]

How beautiful is this video. Congratulations. Wonderful mama, perfect baby boy. Take good care of them both and yourselves.❤❤

[@debbiewisenbaker6509]

So sweet. ❤️❤️❤️❤️😊

[@wandalevy470]

Watching that baby fight off sleep was adorable. I guess babies everywhere don’t want to sleep until their bodies demand it!

[@karendunn7110]

Momma and baby are precious, especially sweet was the bonding as he lay there beside her, while she ran her head up and down his full length.

[@sherrykeeney7376]

I Loved that too it touched me very much❤️as well momma showed him as much physical love as she possibly could I've never gotten to see that before - & look how alert that little one is!! I'll bet he's gonna be some character!! = I must say it has to be a ton of work to care for all these animals I don't know how you guys do it all ? & find some time to send us videos ? But I'm so glad you do! I'm patient I understand its alot to do to care for all these babies all by itself ive grown to love your channel very much ! I'm telling my friends all about 🙂❤️Oliver!😘🐴 ❤️ & his story & how you saved him & how hes doing so good & is such a sweet gentle giant & has a beautiful soul that you cant help but fall in love with him - thank you for all you do ❤️ & God Bless everyone there !! you guys are awesome!! ❤️👍🙂

[@PennyLane66]

Sorry Sioux had some issues but glad she’s doing well & little Lakota is a sweetie, he’s very alert & interested in everything around him, I think he’s going to be quite a character :)

[@Geminibiker52]

Hi from England. Lucky little man to be born into such a knowledgeable and loving family. Hope he always meets kindness. X

[@peterjones4621]

It's just amazing that this big baby horse was able to fit inside momma. I can imagine momma must feel so much better not to have the weight and the pressure of this big baby inside her. Another beautiful baby horse enters the world!! Just amazing seeing the baby horse stand up so soon after being born, wow!! ❤❤🐴

[@costrio]

I'm glad Sioux is doing well and Lakota looks very healthy, I think.

[@ckswat77zz51]

Praying Souix heals with no problem. Lakota is so big & adorable. I’m glad Souix is taking care of him. Good Mama❤️🐴💕

[@lynnecamp3268]

It was so cute when Sioux was laying her neck against Lakota. She's a good mom with a big baby boy! 😁👍❤️

[@Luckybetta]

"A sorrel!". I love that smile and twinkle in your eye JR! This is what you were born to do! Thank you and your family for sharing these special moments with us! ❤

[@LipaNonna58]

The new colt is adorable, couldn’t ask for a more beautiful horse! Congratulations 🎊

[@dee2251]

She looked so tired after, but what a brilliant mother she’s being to her beautiful foal. 🥰

[@bonsaidouglas9180]

Love the way you put the story together !! What a beautiful thing Great name for the foal .

[@TheLindagdetroit]

Yes! Props for the editing. I know it takes hours❤

[@chloedemure]

Such a great first time mommy! And the colt is adorable 😊

[@ErnieB]

Lakota thinks to himself, "Belly full? Check. Mama close by? Check. Nap time? Check, check, and double check." ❤

[@sharigirardeau3367]

That is so sweet to see them bonding immediately. Big foal! 💖

[@CM-xn6xc]

You are such a loving and caring family farm! Blessings to Sioux and Lakota.

[@momclean]

Unfortunate for the mare that her first foal was a big one ,and mal-presented, but, thanks to the powers that be, they are both healthy - Lakota is a grand foal, and looks his colouring will be lighter than now...Welcome to the world little guy.❤

[@msk4795]

Seeing their blazes side by side for the first time was and is one of the most touching and beautiful moments I have ever seen.

[@mausmail6907]

Same - and what is really stunning is that their blazes look exactly the same - even the little knit on the left eye 😍 Amazing!

[@YorkistRaven]

Sioux is a very sweet Mom. The way she rubbed her head on Lakota was beautiful. She is a fine looking horse, and so is her baby. :)

[@bet1568]

And Lakota seems to know the camera already. He is cute and glad mom is doing good.

[@dawnlemke3041]

What a beautiful birth they are blessed to have JR in their family He's a man that seems to know his horses

[@LolaNelson-i1v]

I loved how she snuggled him with her face. He’s such a pretty boy! I respect y’all so much for giving Soix such great care! Those stitches means many more healthy births. Your channel is so important, so that kids who live in cities can actually see how much work and love go into running a horse farm🤩❗️

[@joycenichols3481]

What a great mother!

[@teresacolwell8068]

Her being a first time Mama she's a fantastic mama

[@JoyceBreyer-qp6mc]

That's a very well socialized foal! He's going to grow up unperturbed by anything! Beautiful, both.

[@EagleSoul]

For a first time Mamma Sioux maternal instinct is fantastic. I love that you gave her and the baby some alone time to properly bond 🥰. Congratulations🎊🎊 Cheers from South America Uruguay 🇺🇾

[@julierussell8876]

Sioux is a beautiful mare. How sweet she is. That first cuddle from her with the foal 🙌🏻🙌🏻❤️♥️❤️. His blaze is almost identical to his mumma’s!

[@nancyrehder]

Thats what I noticed also

[@Sharon-ov6ft]

Hopefully you give momma a break! Let her get her strength back and enjoy her First baby! She looks a bit underweight! Enjoy the new addition!🐎🐴🦋

[@pamb2734]

Lakota is so precious! You can already see ornery all over his face! ❤

[@callyb54]

You did absolutely the right thing. And not pulling the back legs out of mum helps her stay down for a while when she gets her second wind. I always left the cord to break naturally when mum stood up too. ❤️🐴

[@joyful_tanya]

I'm so glad that you named him that. It's perfect!! My dad taught at the community college on the Rosebud Sioux Rez in the 1980s. I pray peace and prosperity over your farm and family. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@Laura-rt2zu]

Blessing to all of you ! Loved Sioux caressing her baby with her face, such love.

[@gretchenchristophel1169]

What a cute "little" guy...116 pounds was a lot for Mama to have hanging around. His coloring is just gorgeous...in a year or two he's going to make the mares hearts throb.🥰 Loving the "milk bar" is a good, good thing.😋Congrats on the addition to the herd, and will be looking forward to watching Lakota grow up.

[@susanbelida6981]

❤ Sweet baby boy...moma is wonderful. Lovely story.

[@pjk1714]

Glad that delivery is behind her, literally.. Seems like a nurturing mare and hope she can enjoy that bonding time over the next four months to heal and focus on her colt. Oliver is so immature and she needs to replace her weight while nursing. I'm sure they will make massive babies together... Appreciate the update and the name chosen is just perfect❤

[@kathyandrews5288]

Right away I noticed Lakota's blaze looks a lot like Mama's. Good looking foal. And Sioux. Glad all is well.

[@Dwsrs24]

❣️❣️❣️Lakota❤️ So happy baby and momma are doing well and are healthy! 👍

[@margaretmetcalfe9380]

So glad both mother and baby are well, the name like him is beautiful.

[@letabranch7459]

Great job, both of you! He’s a handsome foul! I got choked up watching her nuzzle him! Such love! A miracle! Congrats to Sioux and little man❤

[@jennikane6815]

First time mommy with such a big baby and tricky delivery, not surprised she had issues but thank God everything came out well and she's doing good. Lakota is absolutely gorgeous and an awesome name ❤️ Congratulations Sioux ❤️

[@impunitythebagpuss]

Excellent video! Excellent foaling! Enough assistance given when needed and no unnecessary interference afterward! Mark of good horsemanship! Well done all! PS...Great name!

[@cheriebrantner5543]

I needed an episiotomy with my first child too Sioux so I sympathize!! Lakota is beautiful! Thinking of South Dakota and “Crazy Horse” popped in my head. The monument is pretty cool.

[@fleetskipper1810]

The Crazy Horse Monument in South Dakota is amazing. I first saw it in 1969 when work had barely started, then again in 1998. I need to go back to see what it looks like now.

[@caroledwards3465]

Me too with the birth of my twins ouch!

[@juliederry3719]

Oh poor Sioux, she done an amazing job for a first time mum, Lakota certainly is a beautiful big boy 🥰, watching him laying down he’s soooo adorable, tfs x Julie 🇬🇧

[@letabranch7459]

Give Lakota a huge hug from me! Wonderful birth and enjoyed meeting the new member of the ranch.

[@sanman5389]

I'm from North Dakota - the Sioux & Lakota are very prominent here! I love your beautiful horses!!😊

[@pamplant3610]

Wondering when you guys would give an update on mamma and baby. We've seen nothing since baby was born. So happy for the update.

[@homesteadhorsemanship]

Lol it just takes time to create videos! So sorry! Patience, patience😉

[@LipaNonna58]

Wow! Congratulations, so happy for you and the happy mamma! Wonderful news for you and many, many blessings to come❤

[@mardellscott6335]

Poor mama she was in so much pain. You take such good care f your animals baby is a handsome little guy. Blessings from Mississippi

[@ricklaurelnovotny4829]

I would be nervous rebreeding her!!😧

[@anjou6497]

I like the description by the man of his helping the birth; how sensible and knowledgable he is, with great compassion and quietness. Bravo ! Such a beautiful mare and foal. 🧡🌱💚🌿

[@1362ms]

Such a cute colt,with all the trouble!

[@karenpetroski766]

Awe poor Sioux on delivering her first baby. I know she is getting good care with all of you. The baby is so darn cute, and she is a good mom. God bless all of you. ❤❤❤❤❤

[@alpanaray5497]

very good looking horses Sioux and her baby boy and thanking you for helping and very kind hearted owners given them good medical facilities God bless them with all the happiness and good health lots of love 💕💕💕💕💕😘😘😘😘😘

[@suzannehettinger5198]

Your new Colt’s name is beautiful. Lakota is perfect. He will be a strong and brave horse ❤

[@Hollybank5]

Poor Momma had a rough time 😢. Lakota is a beautiful little boy 🎉❤. Congratulations on a success birth !!!

[@rhondagross5769]

I hope Sioux is feeling better now, poor girl. Lakota is such a sweet boy...and I love the name! God bless you all and much love! ❤

[@krystalminx88]

You can just see how hard mama is working… but she’s so brave & courageous she is despite her exhaustion… that seemed like a HUGE baby for a maiden mare to expel.. I feel like she was comforted by you guy’s support but at the end when she felt like she didn’t need you any more she let you know you were dismissed… LOL another great video from you guys! Lakota is already showing such a sweet & intelligent character…I think little Mama Sue gets the gold star for her unwavering effort despite the pain ( those stitches prove how much!)& her long difficult week added to her exhaustion…no wonder she wanted to take her time getting to her feet…! Great job Papa JR in assisting her perfectly (imo…) another lovely & informative video from you guys…❤

[@aileen694]

Emery, you have a lovely voice, thanks for the camera work and info along the way. Wow! 116 lbs, poor little Sioux. I sort of hope she doesn't get bred to Oliver cuz of his breed size! Rebekah did really well as assistant and JR's help was perfectly done. And yes, your vet was excellent, very thorough. 🙂

[@dawnmichelle4403]

Congratulations on the birth of the new, little guy! He's got the coloring of a little deer mouse with that light underside. What a handsome fellow! 🥰

[@DG-yd4nh]

So happy Sioux and baby Lakota are both OK. Poor Sioux!❤

[@juliaduncan1438]

Being of lover of horses and a native american ......I love it. You are to be commended for the whole family's hard work and dedication. The. You for honoring our native ancestors

[@karenweiser8699]

No matter how many times I see a birth, it always brings tears to my eyes. Thank u for sharing

[@kellymanas6133]

Will you be putting the two mares & foals together at some point?

[@homesteadhorsemanship]

Yes.

[@april5666]

What a gorgeous foal. And so big too. I'm wondering if he was maybe stronger because he was more developed (being nearly a year in the womb) and so maybe that is why he was able to stand up at the first go? Congratulations on your three new spring baby foals -- it is going to be so much fun to watch them play together. Will you put them out together after they've all got stronger a little bit older? Thanks so much for sharing your beautiful farm and family.

[@marycoker99]

Congratulations ! 🎉 The new Colt Lakota is so precious. Sioux is an awesome mom. Thanks to the awesome vet stitching up Sioux and taking care of her. Prayers 🙏💖 for healing. ❤😊

[@tictactoe325]

Crikey for a first foal. He’s huge. Prayers of healing being sent Soix’s way.

[@kirstingooge3918]

362 days 😳 God Bless her. My goodness!!! She’s a sweetheart and her baby is adorable. Thank you for sharing with us 💜 Awww just saw she tore 😞 poor thing. As a momma I know that feeling. I was a vet tech for 4.5 years while in high school and nursing school. This veterinarian was absolutely wonderful - his concern for keeping Lakota close to his momma because of her concern and nervousness meant everything. What a blessing.

[@christinebrument6851]

Watched the live just had to watch this too. What a very proud Mum.! Thank you for helping her x one of the most beautiful sights in the world and born into such a perfect loving family. Congratulations!!!!

[@chereecampbell7474]

Great name choice for your big little man. Thank you for sharing his birth; am thankful Sioux will be fine. 🌻☀️

[@helenkelley8788]

Lakota is a handsome guy...and he took to being handled and trailer loaded very well... Doctor did a great job.. especially explaining what he was looking for .. and appreciate his letting you film him ..best to you and Sioux...

[@kathierados4441]

Congratulations Sioux! What a big boy. You did so well Mama. Many blessings!!! Beautiful sight to witness. Thank you for sharing that with us. Have a blessed day! Love to the new foal, Sioux, all the other animals there and their human family!!! Precious!🤗😘❤🐴⚘⚘👻

[@diannawalker758]

Awww, poor mama. You could tell she needed a little assistance. Good job, guys. I love watching the foals trying to stand up.

[@caroledwards3465]

Alright hand up if you went through the same procedure after giving birth...I so feel for her !😮 Best wishes from England UK

[@rogehnimunoz4327]

Sioux is such a good mama. She’s so sweet with her foal.

[@carp81067]

What a beautiful pair! She is a little protective because she had to work hard to get him here. You can't blame her! She's a wonderful mother. ❤❤congratulations🎉

[@carmelduggan6547]

He is a fabulous little guy, I hope he will be lucky for you🐴🐎🐴

[@maximusopus1108]

That is one big healthy foal! Congratulations! He is going to a wonderful horse. ❤️

[@nancycascino6577]

So beautiful to see baby and Mama together, just relaxing after she gives birth. ❤

[@lisawheeler6488]

I'm glad you aren't breeding her so soon after giving birth. She is looking good. What a cute boy he is.

[@bwenluck9812]

The best time to breed a mare is when she's having a "foal heat".

[@tbascoebuzz4782]

Sioux is such a good mother…look at her bond with her son! Precious…

[@beverleymeyer7899]

So glad that doc was able to fix her up....a little healing time and she will be good as ever. I love the baby's name, Lakota.

[@louiseplatt468]

Aww the foal is so cute hopefully baby and mama are doing well. ❤

[@TheShift_OfEnergy]

[@padfoot3]

You take such wonderful care of your animals ! Lakota is a great name and he is so handsome. Congrats!

[@carariela]

Your Horses are so precious, they are truly Blessed to have you🙏✝️🙏Amen

[@annpalmer7470]

Thanks for compiling this video. I was lucky enough to watch the live and was thrilled with Sioux, her healthy goal and her proud farm family! Lakota looks like he is uplight with the lighter coloring on legs & belly. It will be fun to watch this handsome boy grow!

[@eveseldercare]

This was the most relaxed and best view I have seen with a mare giving birth. It was like a Disney movie, so calm and Moma looking after her large Colt. And the wisest of helping....not too much and not too little just enough so that nature could be in charge... very beautiful Mare and Colt... Birds and butterflies should be floating in the background.....taa...daa....

[@missykowalewski]

Good to have humans to help. Rough but not bad for a first timer. She was amazing. I absolutely love how nature just falls into place.

[@rebeccahylant7695]

Video it's great. So glad you observed Sioux so well and had her stitched. Lakota is precious. ❤😊

[@nettyferguson4874]

Sioux is such a lovely horse I'm so pleased all is well that baby has some mean long legs. ❤❤❤😂😂😂

[@anitastaudacher1903]

So good to see your care & love for these animals, knowing when & how much to help in the birth without intefering & getting help from the vet the next day. If only more people were as kind to their animals. I love the clean indoor area you put them in & all the appropriate feed. Beautiful to watch. Thank you.

[@anaheraarana8863]

😍🤍😍So wrapped to see everything come together as things unfold. The name of the young Colt is beautiful. Very fitting as he looks so spirited & cheeky!. Glad Mum is also doing ok despite the setbacks for a first time Mama & delivering a big Foal, she's in the right hands to have her wellbeing cared for and tended to. 🙂🤍

[@ramonarichwood9544]

So beautiful how she rubs her head on him caressing him

[@cathywhelpley3927]
