A very sad day for Team Charlimouse. RIP Millie & a question about a horrid situation

My heart goes out to you, it really does. RIP Millie, you certainly were a one in a million.

With regards to the little one, where I work we wean ours at 4 months. Our foals have a handful of chaf and a cup of saracen levelgrow pencils as well as adlib hay.

Thinking of you tonight. x
 
What sad news, my thoughts go out to you.

I weaned my last foal at 5 months and there was no drama. I would find another weanling for her though. I bought a different foal a friend as had no other babies for company. I kept the friend until she was 2 and then sold her on.

She will live on in the 2 gorgeous babies she gave you and hopefully they will be as special as she was x
 
How awful, really feel for you, what a terrible shock.

At least your foal is five months, and although she will be lost for a bit, I am sure she will start thriving again soon.
 
Very sad news. Sorry for your loss.
Studs can and do wean at 5 months, almost always with no trouble. I do recommend a foaly friend though if at all possible. Millie will live on in both her gorgeous girls, bless her.

Take care of yourself. x
 
I'm so sorry for your loss :( R.I.P millie

I found my mare/horse of a life time/best friend dead in the field in 2005 aged 15 so I know how big a shock it is :(

Mine looked like she had just simply dropped dead , no signs of rolling (it was muddy her rugs were clean) or sweat , nothing etc we thought shed had a heart attack but on PM she's had a twisted small intestine , the vets said it could (colic) sometimes be that quick , she had also been as fit as a fiddle the day before

Best of luck with the foal , poor little mite should be ok at 5 month just a but sad and lost :( x
 
I'll raise a glass to Millie. You must celebrate her life and what she did for you. She will live on her in two lovely babies.

Presumably the foal was with her mum so knows she is dead. Keeping her with her sister is a good idea. Can they share a box? Treat her just like any other weanling, it's not really any different for her. I'm a suregrow fan, but everyone has their preferences. (I have a Loius baby, well yearling, too)
 
So sorry hun, she looks as though she meant alot to you. Following your posts with Murphey and Jem im sure there's nothing you could've done, your horses always seem your top priority

Sorry no advice about the foal but big hugs xx
 
Ahhh rip and my thoughts are with you.

Stella is beautiful and you have two beautiful foals from her to keep her legacy going. Xx
 
I too have found a very beloved horse dead in the field so I can understand your shock and sadness. My horse showed no symptoms either, she seemed fit and well. Her PM was inconclusive so we never knew why.

My thoughts are with you, I will raise a glass to her tonight :( xxx
 
Huge hugs- how terribly upsetting for you. Hope the PM gives you the answers you need.
Her babies are beautiful and she will live on through them- maybe advertise weaning livery for another baby to give her a friend. She will bounce back-i would put her on some stud mix or similar anyway always have when weaned babies.
Keep your chin up
