God my baby is tiny :(

Measures her this morning. She still stands about 11.3 and if I do the mid knee thing it measures 15inches so mature around 15 hands !!

my little girl is 6months. at 5months she was 11.2hh. she is out of a 14.2 nf mare and a 15.2 tb stallion. im hoping for 14hh at least as im only 5ft1. Didnt want a monster and i cant see her turning into one. Im going to try the mid knee thing later and see what i get.. ill also meassure her...

go onto www.littlefells.co.uk to see her. its under the serendipity sunday tab x

thank you so much, its so very nice to see another couple of foster foals, especially grown up! Seren is a happy little thing, im so glad i got her, she still acts like a right mare and bosses my shetlie around so im sure she will be fine when it comes to behaviour. Sure grow sounds fab, i...

That exactly like seren, her dads breeding is very good, her mums isn't bad so it makes seren a cream papered sports pony :) anyway can anyone recommend feeds???

Thank you rachi0 and well said... Can I ask what would you feed a 5month old weaned foster foal. She is sired by thoroughbred racehorse and out of a newforest mare. :)

Well ok, firstly seren is a lovely healthy little thing n she will be with me for the rest of her daysso she is a lucky one!! Yes it's not the best situation to take foals from mares but as I've said before, I'm a farmer and we often take animals off their mums if they cannot cope etc. They're...

Thank you so so much. My other gelding is currently recovering from colic symptoms from an underline condition so I see my vet pretty much all the time. (they think its enteritis) Seren is skinny and I wouldn't say otherwise but I think we are both on the right track. I've got 2.5 acres of lush...

I put it in breeding room first, but no luck! Ok well just rang the national foal bank. A nice lady spoke to me. She said I've got her her on the best food, it's what they would use. She did say I could put a bit of milk replacer in with the food but If I was to put her back onto milk it...

Thanks I shall try that. I'm rather lucky, because of the company she came from she has always been kept with other foals, foster and non foster, so she is very 'normal' when it comes to that. She knows I mean food and yes she isn't a bolshy as other foals at her age but she plays with my...

It's just nuts coz my vet is a stud owner and he sees many foster foals. He says although she is skinny I've got her on the right track. She has been on spillers foal balancer, alfa a, sugar beet and foal creep at the recommended amounts twice a day since I got her. She has gained. I just...

Right, ok I'm in no way new to horses, so please don't think I'm a newby but I am a bit confused about the new foal I've got. 4weeks ago I got a new tbxnf foal. Her mum was taken off and given to a Newmarket foal when she was 2days old. When I went to pick her up she wasn't in the best...

My mare has recently had a sarcoid removed. To be honest, it looked just like that. My vet froze and now 6weeks on, it's looking fab!! Don't worry though, a pony down the road from us had them all over his face and legs and now he is sarcoid free!! :) I'd watch her from now on though as they...
