Foal Monday

What a difference in a couple of weeks ! He looks really strong. So pleased for you Abi90. Hes got a real boys head hasnt he. Very handsome
 
So I’m rubbish at sticking to Monday but got some lovely photos today. Boy is he turning into a handsome lad! He’s a big boy as well! He’s turning into a seriously smart foal ?

Rosie, as ever, is mostly interested in eating

Well just been told my foal is lame (diagnosed from two videos on Facebook) and that everything I’ve done is wrong ? what is wrong with some people!
I know I am biased but he is a nice foal. He may have been lame because he was walking on the outside of his foot because he was windswept

Everyone told me I was doing everything wrong last year. I think its like the horse world on steroids, Everyone has an opinion and they are not afraid to give it to you both barrels.
I found it helpful to identify a couple of sensible folk who know their stuff and ask their advice when needed. And tune out the rest. Xx
 
^ that's not to say you don't heed other genuine advice. But you can drive yourself crazy trying to get it right according to the rest of the world, when you weren't doing anything wrong in the first place.

Thank you. I know that I’ve done my research and the stud absolutely know what they are doing and have a great rep. I am aware that I am a novice breeder but I’m not an idiot, I guess I was more offended than anything. Which is unusual as normally I’m a “yeh yeh whatever type” as it makes life so much easier. Probably because they insulted my first born ? xx
 
who are these people that have messaged you ? if they are so called friends then bin them. Listen to your vet and your farrier. You dont need people in your life who want to pull you down. These sort of people make me so mad.

He really does have the most exquisite little face , my friends had a terrible time with getting the mare in foal then some complications along the way and now hes had to have plasma. So its been a bit of a nightmare for her.. but that little face has got to make it all worthwhile.

Crikey. Thats brazen isnt it. Hope you told her to jog on. Hows he doing now ?
 
No photos today as I am fetching Rosie and Percy tomorrow so there will be plenty

He’s turning into a minor problem specialist. His leg is now straight and his foot is landing flat. So that’s all sorted. So he decided that his eyelid was going to roll in so he needed an injection from the vet ?‍♀️

Oh no!
Hopefully he's getting all his problems out of the way at an early age! ?

It’s pretty common apparently, there’s a yearling on our yard who had to have both of hers stitched back! He’s just enjoying spending my money… just like my dog who wanted a vet’s trip today as well
