Here are some letters we have received from our customers:
 

Dear Susan:

 
This is our first Baby.  We named her Grace since she was born Sunday nite.  Mama (April) and baby are doing fine.  The camera helped tremendously.  Thank you.

 

 

 

 

 

Hi Susan,

 
I just can't tell you how nice this Monitor is, so far this year I have not missed one foal being born. The last 2 years I missed them all along with loosing a foal. It so nice to watch mares for a few weeks prior to foaling, so when they are getting ready you can see an obvious difference it their routine. This foaling Monitor is invaluable!
 
Here's is a photo of Smooch born May 27th at 9.00.
 
Thanks So Much Rene

 

 

 

 

 
 
Susan,
Some pictures of Y Knaught Laird Owain and him mom (Maple Stone Laura Kate).
The camera works great. We're currently on foal watch for the 2nd of 3 babies we're expecting this year. The one we're waiting for tonight comes from a big black mare crossed to our young black stallion. This will be the first foal for both of them.
Thanks for all your help.

Picture descriptions:
Just born  - Taken about 90 minutes after he was born. His mom (Katie) is
an 18 hand mare (~2100 lbs), to put the size in perspective.

 

Taken earlier today, at 6 weeks of age. The fields have finally
dried up and we're without mud for the first time in almost 3 months.

 

Susan,

Just a quick note. Wanted to let you know my monitor was awesome. I was
there for my mare to foal:):) Thanks so much. I'll attach a photo. Please
feel free to put her on your website. I'll write you back later about the
entire event.

Here she's is Zips Perfect Princess (Pending)

Susan:
We had our baby last Mon.(15 days late). The camera worked
great. Although he was born outside, at 8 am, the camera was a great help for all of those 1-2 hour checks at night. It is now working great because we have had some cold, rainy weather this week and Momma and son are spending a lot of time in the stall. We can check on them at any hour of the day or night. When we first received the camera, we put a 20 watt bulb in a reflector and it was more than enough. We have a 7.5 bulb in now and it is plenty of light. We could probably have used a 4 watt night light bulb if it would have fit in the reflector! We have recommended this system to several people, including new parents who want to see and hear what is going on in the nursery.
Thanks!

On March 8th at 3:40 am my mare gave birth to a beautiful filly...If it
weren't for your camera, I would have missed the entire thing! After being
restless from 7:00 PM to 10:00 PM, the mare all of the sudden calmed down and started eating her hay. She remained very quite about 3:30 AM, when she layed down. I had finally dozed off and my husband woke me up screaming that the baby was coming. Because we had the TV right next to our bed we both got to watch the entire birth while we were fumbling with trying to grab warm clothes. The whole birth took about 2 minutes and as I said if it weren't for you I would have missed it. Again, thank you so much for a great product and for taking the time to overnight me the outside antenna when the original one did not work. It was an experience that I wouldn't have wanted to miss for the world.

Just wanted to let you know we got our camera system up and running and we LOVE IT!! I especially love the infra red light I purchased as well. I was skeptical when I received it because it is so small but it does light up our 12 by 24 stall beautifully. I'm impressed. Our picture is also nice and clear. I couldn't be more happy. No baby yet, but believe me, we are watching our camera every night in wait. Thanks so much for your prompt and courteous  service. I would do business with you again and again and will
recommend you to anyone in need of a high quality camera system.

Sincerely,

Marianne Berg
 

 

Susan the camera is wonderful.  We got it Friday evening and put it up Sat.  Guess what we had a baby Sat. night.  We would have missed it without the camera as we did not think she was going to foal that night.  We were just sitting around admiring our new toy, when I went "oh honey, I think we better go to the barn".  15 minutes later we had our new little filly.  Anyway, I have the next mare in now, but we have a problem with her, she hates the lights.  Could you please COD me the infrared night light the quickest way possible.  This mare is a first time mom and already seems to be confused about what is going on.  My husband calls her Dori after the little fish on the movie Finding Nemo.  I have placed a light across the aisle from her but of course we are dealing with a lot of dark spots and shadows.  Once again we are very very happy with the camera.

 

 

Dear Susan,

Our precious little Filly...Cowboy's Tuff Jackie Times Two was born at 12:09a.m. Thursday, Feb. 12th.  With my husband taking foal watch between 5p.m. and 11p.m and me taking it over from 11p.m. to 4p.m. the next day...and with the aid of our camera we were able to know exactly when our mare was in labor.  We were in the stall with her when she delivered and everything went perfect!  I am still enjoying this camera because now I can see every move Mom and Baby make:)  She is so beautiful we just can't take our eyes off of her.  I told my husband that this camera was absolutely the BEST thing he has EVER gotten for me!!!  I am attaching some pictures, feel free to use them on your website.  Thank you so very much!!!

Dear Susan,
 
My husband and I just love this camera.  What a wonderful invention this is!  We have the monitor sitting in our sunroom and can see our mare and her activities all night long.  I am sending a couple of pictures for you to see.  We are about 3 weeks from delivery and I am sure I will send you more when the baby arrives.
Thank you so much for all of your help.

Susan,

THANKS!!! We wouldn't have known in time w/o your excellent camera system!
Also, she settled down about 2 hours after having him and was OK for most of
the night, (she had him around 6:30 p.m.), then when I turned on the TV
around 4:00 a.m. to check on them, she was circling and endangering the
baby. We administered another dose of Banamine, and we all slept after
that:)  Thanks!
 

 

Hi Susan, Just wanted to let you know that the camera I purchased from you is amazing. The picture is so clear that there is never any "guessing" as to what I'm actually looking at. What a luxury to be able to watch my mare from the comfort of my couch without having to make those never ending trips to the barn. We purchased a cheaper camera but didn't like the visibility. I decided to order your camera and compare the two. No comparison. I guess you get what you pay for. I'm pleased to announce that we have a gorgeous Pinto Half-Arab filly. It was a difficult birth and I have no doubt we would have
lost this filly if we were not present.

Thanks again,

Hi Susan, guess you are up to your neck in new foals, anyway, don't worry about calling us back, we found the problem. The camera connection to the exterior antenna was not tight enough. So now we have the clearest picture you ever saw. This is just amazing -  no static, no fuzzy, no snow, just clear crisp picture. Cannot begin to tell you how pleased we are with the system.  You can add us to your list of satisfied buyers. Will e mail you photos of the new ones when they do make an on camera appearance Mid-February.

Our system paid for itself again a couple of nights ago. While still waiting on our mare, Lizzie to have her foal, we were monitoring her while watching TV on Sunday evening. I notice Lizzie had laid down in a position parallel to the wall in her stall and she decided to roll. As I watched her I told my wife that if Lizzie managed to roll all the way over, she was going to get herself cast on the wall. Just as I feared, she ended up almost upside down with both hind legs halfway up the wall. As big as she is, she was unable to recover from that position, and Sheila and I immediately went to the barn, used a couple of ropes around her legs to roll her back over so her legs were to the inside of the stall and she got right up. Last year, a neighbor of ours lost a mare that managed to get cast and struggled all night. By morning, when he discovered her, she was so weak (she was an older mare), they were unable to get her to stand and finally had to put her down. Again, our barn cam was a big help in a situation that otherwise may have gone unnoticed. Had she not been so big from carrying that foal, she probably could have gotten up by herself, but I don't think she would have been successful last Sunday night. I swear by my system and recommend to anyone who has the resources.....it would be one of the best investments they can make.

Hi Susan,
We installed the cameras last Thursday. Our mare that was due on 3/21 
foaled just after midnight on Sun pm. and we were there thanks to the 
cameras! We have a beautiful bay filly (just what we ordered).  Our second mare is due 3/16 but has been so miserable-glad we can watch her from in the house. I am just trying to get off crutches, but we still have ice and snow and it's a long trip for me to the barn. These cameras are so helpful to us- thank you!

PS- our 12 year old son taped the birth. He loves to play it backwards!

The camera works GREAT! It was easy to hook up and it comes in so clear,
even 700' away. Thank you!!! I posted your web site on
ultimatedressage.com. There is a breeding forum and someone was asking
about cameras.

Susan,
I just want to write and tell you how much I like your camera system! 
We get a great picture and we're just waiting for the mare to foal. After 
foaling season, I think I'll put in my basement to watch my teenagers!!! 
HAHAHAH!!
Again, thank you.

Hi Susan!

There has been quite a bit of talk on a couple lists I'm one (Quarter Horse List, Palomino List, Halter Horses List) about cameras.  I'm SO satisfied with mine, I put in a bunch of plugs for you and gave them your e-mail and web address.    

Hope this helps you!  We had our baby at 12:30 a.m. on New Year's Day (not due until the 7th!)  and we were sure sweating it!  Thank GOD for the camera as the mare has been wearing blankets and she came early and I looked at the camera (after waking up on the couch) and saw it starting to go down and I was there!  Yippeeeeee!  

Here's a picture of our new 'wonder horse', too.  What would it take for me to have three more cameras?  We have four stalls and would like to have a camera in each one.  We are also thinking of doing this for our trailer.  

Thanks so much - it was FAST and EASY to install and it WORKS!!!!
