Foal Friday - 2020

[Meowy Catkin]

They're all so gorgeous!

I'm definitely lacking a foal in my life so seeing all these lovely updates is really great.

Gosh! Hera is getting really strong in the hind quarters! The forest foals are fab! Baby Shetland is straight out of the toy factory for cuddlyness . Love them all. xx

Dum Dum is all about climbing on mum this morning! Pip's isn't overly amused by his antics ??

Hot day today so I gave them a bit of fresh grass to chomp away on in the shade before the sun gets up and they retreat into the shelter

Action tail!

They're all so cute! Looking great!

The speed the foals are growing at is amazing. You would never know now what a titch Dum Dum was when he was born and as for Hera her back end growth is incredible. I don't remember any of mine going up at the back so extremely but perhaps that is just because they are all so long ago. She is going to be a big girl.

i hope so because otherwise she's going to be a really weird shape!! mum is getting no food other than hay and grass and some minerals in a bit of grass chaff, as we were worried Hera was growing a bit speedily. just keep an eye on it I guess. Dad is quite a substantial chap.

Fab photos, takes me back to when I was posting about Spyro being born, it seems like yesterday but he was somehow 13 this year!

We bred a foal from my coloured mare when we first for her, so in foal at 3 foal born when she was 4. "Foal" now 19!!!

Happy Friday expanded Hera's world this week with a new corner of the field. She's had her feet done for the first time now and behaved herself reasonably well The ultimate timewaster, it's still kinda amazing how much they learn about the world and their bodies in such a short time, she's 9 weeks old now and a right character.

What a beautiful picture. I love the zoomies. She's such a little character . I think she enjoys performing for the camera

 

[milliepops]

she is a huge show off. I hope that sort of attitude stays with her as she grows up, it's a character type that I really enjoy!

She is quite independent already isn't she! Not fussed about mum whilst she is playing!

Dum Dum got his first proper telling off yesterday. Normally he comes over and nibbles your boots. Yesterday he came flying over and tried to sink his teeth straight into my thigh! So he got spun away and shoved out of the way. He then came back at me on his back legs ... so again he got spun away and sent off. The 3rd time he came over all sweetness and nice and waited patiently for his headcollar to be put on. There was no malice in what he was trying to do just over excitement. I don't mind the nibbling, he will grow out of it but coming at you with teeth and feet no matter how innocently he thinks he is being is not happening on my watch!

He is still very much into the climbing on mum phase though he booted her on the neck yesterday when going for a yeehaa and she dealt her own punishment with a swift bite to the bum!

My monster has cut her nose so currently sporting white cream slathered over it so not photogenic.

However, I found this belonging to my landlady's mare on Tuesday out on the forest. Totally unexpected as the mare is at least 27! I bought them both in as the mare hasn't done too well. Landlady saw her a few weeks ago but there was no foal then.

 

[milliepops]

are we still going with this? bit of a poor update from my end as been too busy for much foal cuddling this week!
10 weeks old now

this is her I LOVE SCRATCHES face

 

[SashaBabe]

I love Foal Friday. Please don't stop posting the pictures.

 

[Peregrine Falcon]

For once I remembered to take pics for this thread!



She is still sporting a nice scab on her nose. Going darker now too.

 

[SashaBabe]

I use photo resizer to reduce the file size. I normally take it down to 50%. I don't have FB so have downloaded an app. It's photo and picture resizer, blue/white square with arrows top right

Sorry I missed out this week! I have been away racing most of the week but I promise I will do some when I actually get more than a few hours at home!

Still loving catching up with everyone elses foals too! They grow so quickly though you don't always notice it until you look back at previous weeks!
