2026 Foals

Had a bit of a panic tonight , my daughter spotted that Aria wasn’t right . On her own head down circling and not eating . Que me legging it over to the field , I shouted her and she came galloping over and whinnying . See she’s fine I said , then I noticed she was frothing at the mouth . Got her in , noticed she was swollen at the side of her mouth and couldn’t eat and temp normal . Emergency call to the vet . Vet very confused at first. So she treated her with pain killer and anti inflammatory . Within 10mins , swelling gone down and she’s eating and totally normal . Highly likely it’s a bee/ wasp sting .
Other than that both mares are good , we are at day 160 & 153

We had a 67 day scan a while ago and although it showed a definitely pregnant uterus, baby had dropped below the pelvic brim so couldn't see it. After all the trouble I had last year and the many attempts this year I won’t get too excited until it’s actually here but all looking good otherwise and we are on day 119

We had a similar disappearing act at the last scan, but her cervix is still tightly closed and all other signs say things are going well so im not worrying. Someone really needs to tell her she isn't eating for 2 yet though because she is constantly starving!

Yes, very scary . But So far so good . She’s eating well now and the swelling has gone down . It really reminded me of how much she means to us
