I went to look at a foal today...

[Kacey88]

.... and I think I may just put a deposit down! She's a traditional cob, I got to meet both parents. Haven't owned a horse in a few years. I'm so much more anxious about making the decision than I would have been in past, but also excited.

Anyone else foal shopping?

How exciting. Is it last years or brand new?

Yet no pics. Fairly sure that's against forum rules!

Yes it is - reported...

 

[Kacey88]

Oh no I have to figure out how to do this again, it's been about 5 years ?

 

[Kacey88]

I hope this works! She's just 2 weeks old now

Congratulations! If that is a recent pic then can I suggest you engage the services of a good vet and farrier to see if you can get those contracted tendons sorted?

Yep, you need to know what the owners are doing know to help straighten them out.

Yes I would want them looked at but no need to panic just yet, I've seen foals way worse than this straighten out naturally with no issues.

I would also , if you haven’t already look to find a place to keep her with other foals of similar age . She’s certainly cute

That picture is when she was 2 days old - she's pretty much all straightened up now thankfully. I can always go back again also. Thanks for the advice

She's lovely, exciting times for you!

Awww, that weeny body on those huge long legs - adorable!!
Congratulations, foals are such a pleasure in all ways ?

 

[Quigleyandme]

Very sweet.

Thanks everybody, I actually decided to go with her. Found the owner of her now yearling sister who gave me some more insight - she said her temperament is amazing. She will be staying with two warmblood foals once weaned. Maybe they will rub off on her and she'll be a dream for dressage for me ?
