Winds, I am so sorry for your loss. It is apparent that you care deeply for your horses and I can only imagine how difficult this must be for you. We wait nearly a year, sometimes longer, and breathe a sigh of relief when we are given a healthy foal. We allow ourselves to think about the future and ...

This is a very large filly (measures 48 inches or 122 cm) and it is likely that the delivery, or prolonged malposition contributed to swelling of a lumbar nerve root, ultimately impeding proprioception of her rear legs. The most difficult aspect of this experience was deciding how far to go with med...

Sadly, the filly passed away this afternoon. I would like to offer my mare as a nurse mare if anyone has the need. Thank you all for your support.

My mare foaled at 2:30 this morning. Unfortunately, there were complications, resulting in an ischemic event. She is unable to stand and nurse. Her tongue was fixed and protruding. She has now gained some suckling action; she has full motor and sensory sensation of her legs and good sphincter tone. ...

Four Hundred (400) days? Were you present when she foaled? I don't have a camera setup so I am walking out to the barn every one or two hours. I don't want her to be alone, but....

I became anxious when my very first mare to foal, was overdue in April. I expressed my concerns here on this forum, and received very comforting support. Of course she foaled the following morning. Everything went textbook with her delivery. I want a healthy momma and baby with this one as well. I w...

That's comforting to hear. Thank you LB. I'll keep you posted.

My second mare to foal has a due date of May 12th. She is now 356 days in foal. She has bagged up and the muscles adjacent to her tail have relaxed, but there are no other signs of impending labor. My vet palpated her a week ago and said he felt movement. He tells me it is "not uncommon" for mares t...

I have received conflicting information on when to start feeding a foal, in addition to what is best to feed a foal.
What and when do you begin to feed your foal?

Very easy to follow instructions.
Good luck! I would love to see pictures of your baby.

Thank you Zinn21

Here are some pictures of my first foal. His sire is Suave (Jessie P, we must have passed each other as I was leaving the breeding shed and you were entering) and his dam is R Tonto's Girl. http://i945.photobucket.com/albums/ad291/pacmom23_photos/firstencounter.jpg http://i945.photobucket.com/albums...

Can someone please give me a quick lesson on attaching photos to my post?
