I can manage regular updates ?
We are starting to pick at hay, grass and even mums hard food, she is also starting to turn and kick mum to defend the hard food ? I’m hoping poppy will crack down on this soon ?
Also the colour of her muzzle is changing. Look at the grey coming through!
This was them grooming this morning, my heart melts

Lovely photos....but I think you should change your user name to DaretoDream or D2D for short

Lovely pics ? so nice to see them getting on so well. I love how foals crouch their stilt-like legs to try and get feed out of bowls ?

Looking forward to drier days

Perhaps I should change my name, how do I do that??
Yes, it’s so sweet, her knees buckled yesterday and she plopped into the bucket, it was one of those shallow plastic ones, and it was new and too slippery for her to get her legs out of, I really wish I’d had my phone at that moment, I did laugh!
It’s an adorable photo They really are getting on better than I could have wished for!

Thank you, il keep them coming!
I have my finals next week and then hopefully I can get my life together a bit? and really enjoy the pair of them and spend a lot more time with her and take lotssss of photos ?
this situation really has shown the true kindness of people, and is uplifting when a lot of the world appears fairly bleak right now

Fais pas chier!
The grey goggles mean she’s going grey, we had a colt foal at the yard last year who started off exactly like that and he’s now entirely grey. She’s going to be beautiful.

Oooo that’s very exciting. I do love a grey
Do you think she’ll dapple? Or just white? What will happen to her face and socks?!

Mine had a blaze and white socks as a yearling which disappeared as he got older. Dapples turned into flea bites.

Possibly she’ll follow her m7m? The colt’s dam is a proper grey, so he’s turned out exactly like her, pretty boy, he stands out in a field of bay youngsters.

Little rascal! Such lovely photos too, truly heartwarming.
My colt just full on body slams my mare out the way at feed time and she lets him and goes off to graze instead!

Hopefully she might follow her mother… but colouring ONLY ?
? she is getting close to this, she practically gets in the bucket?

It might have only been as my foal grew too fast but he wasn’t allowed hard feed and the mare was fed in a manger that he couldn’t reach. He had a handful in a trug to keep him busy.
She’s so beautiful.

Hope everyone is well!
DeeDee is 3 weeks old today! She is full of character and rather naughty to be blunt ?
She has started to guard feed bowls, use me as a general battering ram and she certainly has grown some teeth ?
It all appears to be light hearted and it’s so lovely to see her coming out of her shell. However I think I might need to start being a little tougher!
Poppy is well and their bond is better than ever, she is so kind and patient but I do hope she might soon start to tell D to pack it in?
She has her first farrier visit on Tuesday!
Chilly is also well and completely oblivious out at grass.

Great photos I like the feed bowl guarding one what a little moo!
My friends colt pushes his mum away from the feedbowl and if she persists he rears up at her funny aren't they ?

Great pictures! What a cheeky little madam she is! Good to see that her early experiences clearly aren’t making her the shy retiring type!

She is stunning. So glad this story has a happy ending.
I'm struggling with the grey thing - I can't see any grey goggles. I'm always mystified how people can tell a grey so early, I've spent hours studying and still haven't picked up the knack!

if you look at her legs they are a slightly greyish colour . My colt who will stay chestnut has chestnut / cream ish legs
Great photos OP , so pleased all 3 are happy .
As for the guarding of feed .. my colt is hilarious. He will try and throw himself at his mum and try to push her away . She just rolls her eyes . He’s now out with his grandma as well and tried the same thing with her . She raised a back leg and glared .. he legged it . He won’t do that again ???

Little madam. I am not experienced enough to have suggestions on the bolshyness. Not that you were asking! ?
