Video #2 of Maya - This one is really short, but she's moving so nice in it that I wanted to include it. If you you don't want to wait for the first one, this one might be better for you. |

Video #3 of Maya - This one is in a bigger format. Will take longer to Download, but it's a nice clip too. The quality isn't as good, since it's a bigger format, but you can still see movement well.

The Story of Maya and her Internet friends
May 14th, 2000 was Mother's day here in the U.S., as most of you
know. The day was pretty much business as usual 
here at the farm, people
coming to look at horses, chores, chores and more chores. After the day
was done, and we finally got to the business of taking mom out for Mother's Day. We needed to do this of course, but we knew that Legri was imminent
in her foaling. It was getting late, about 8 pm, but we didn't have
anyone to stay at the farm to keep an eye on her. We popped online, and
saw an online friend or two on our 'buddylist'. Knowing that we would only
be gone about an hour, we decided to have a couple people look in on the web cam
while they were online, and gave them our number to call if they saw
anything.
Just after dinner was served, at about 9:15 the first call came in from Tory MacDonald in Connecticut. Legri is down, and seems to be straining. Boxes for dinner, the check, and whoosh, we were out the door. Our waitress' head is still spinning I am sure :>) As we were breaking light-speed all the way home (about a 15 minute trip) we received regular calls from Tory, updating on her progress, as well as calls from Margie Dickson in Kansas, and Donna in Florida. We knew every step of her labor and delivery, and when we pulled up to the barn, Maya was mostly out with her hind legs still to be delivered. Legri was kind enough to lay with a perfect angle to the camera, so the whole world got to enjoy! Thank you so much to all of our internet friends that were there to help, we couldn't have done it without you! Sorry about the mom's day dinner mom, leftovers are much better after a day or two, right? (Picture when Maya was about 3 hours old)
