Elsa's foal was born last night at 2350! A beautttt (will be I think) grey colt. 3 weeks early1

However this morning he took a turn for the worst, and was rushed into Rossdales with colic, general lack of appetite etc. Poor baby has had several enemas today and is on IV fluids and antibiotics for the next couple of days.

So keeping everything crossed!

I hope he improves quickly. Our foal last year was a dummy, very much not expected to live, but he's a strapping lad now so you have my deepest sympathy, it is so stressful.

Thanks everyone

Vets have just called and it's looking on the positive side!

Millikins - that has given me some reassurance! Have there been any lasting effects??

So pleased it's sounding positive. Our boy is physically 100% but daughter and I do sometimes wonder if he's a bit dim, he could just be a very chilled personality.

Enya is now nearly 5 weeks old and just adorable. She has had a little friend for a couple of weeks now but her mother is still quite protective so herds her away- though we are creeping ever closer. It's not quite the idyllic idea we had of foals frolicking together, but I think we're getting there, slowly!

Felix is so bold. Nothing bothers him. And he is super friendly. Presents his withers and bum for scratching from total strangers (like the vet). Comes running over to say hello to any visitors to his field. Does not move when lying down. Happy to let you sit next to him. Today he flopped down next to me and rested his head on my feet. He's a labrador in a foal's body.

Rustle is growing like a weed , so thought I’d best get his passport done before he gets any bigger . He was actually quite brave with the microchip , and is still speaking to me ??. The hot weather has meant he’s had a few showers, he actually enjoys it now .D3DF87AE-E393-4352-ADFE-5043D1BA489A.jpeg

so can now leave him be for a bit ?
How’s everyone’s else’s foals coped with the heat ?

My dummy foal grew into a dim adult. As my vet said though ‘it’s not as though we want them to be chess grand masters’.
The only thing was his spatial awareness wasn’t great. He wouldn’t allow room round gateposts ( even when being led). And when he went on to jumping he wouldn’t necessarily sort himself out on a wrong stride. Nothing impactful.

I can't see AE's pictures either.

Been lovely catching up in this thread. Hope everyone's mares and foals are doing well now.

Sorry to hear about your mule and 5yo TM. Hope the surgery recovery is going ok.
