So very sorry for the loss of your lovely mare. I thought I remembered you as having a SS foal from her. I hope Stella is doing all right and her big sister is looking after her. I'm sure Stella will do just fine.
So sad to read your post and it actually had me in tears. Regarding little Stella - we wean at 6 months so I would speak to your vets and maybe she will need some milk pellets for a little while before moving onto creep feed. RIP Millie (I will raise a glass for you this evening) you sound like a horse of a lifetime. OP on a positive - you have two smashing youngsters to look forward to for the future.
I'm so sorry to hear your very sad news It sounds like she was one in a million and I'm sure her two girlies will go on to give you as much pleasure as she did
So sorry I lost my Millie this year too....very much like yours but not quite as talented.....I have a four year old from her and she really reminds me of her at times.......she gives me that Millie look!!!!
so sorry to read this, very sad. I lost my horse of a lifetime to colic and she had a colt at foot, he was nearly 6 months old. I had a little pony to keep him company for first few days then we bought another colt foal, not greatly intentional as went to market to get something but think it was best thing. they spent next 4 years growing up together and were best mates.
they are suprisingly adaptable, i think sensible to keep with lots of company as long as they all get along and like vet says just keep eye on her weight.
good luck xxx
Oh my goodness, so sad, this has brought tears to my eyes, I am so very sorry. Your filly will be ok, you could introduce some Dodson & Horrell Suregrow to help her along, it's great feed for babies.
