You obviously have no idea what it's like to have horses. A lot of people keep horses stalled. Especially young ones. And he was turned out with his mom until he was 5 months old. He ate the grain cause his mom ate grain. A lot of babies follow they ways of their mothers. That's how they learn...

I have an 8month old colt who for the past few days hasnt touched his grain. Which is weird cause he never leaves a drop in his bucket. Hes had grain since he was 4 days old and now just doesnt seem interested in it. He does drink his water, and was eating his hay really good until the other day...

baby boy is roaning out, and is showing signs to shed out to a blue. :)

Bought a new colt who was WAY underweight, but i thought i saw potential in him and have been working with him every day. please look at the pics and tell me what needs worked on.

Her feet have been trimmed since pics. Farrier came out two days after foaling. Baby is doing great. We named him Jet.

Momma is a sorrel homozygous tobiano, daddy is solid blue roan. This is the third time being bred together, and each time(except this one) they have thrown blue roan tobianos. Im pretty sure he will roan out, but seeing is how he was born bay unlike the previous foals who were born black...

I dont disagree. Hes been doing my horses forever now. If she were to fall while him trimming her feet because she cant hold herself up, we could loose the baby. she not on rocky land, she will be ok for another week or so.

She is homozygous for tobiano, and she has a severed tendon in her right front let, with all the weight of the baby added, she cant stand long enough for the ferrier to get a trim job. Ferrier said it would be best to wait until she foals.

Is she close? this is my first go at having a pregnant mare. 324 days in and starting to bag up.
