She is a gorgeous foal, and Poppy is a stunner.
Will Dee go grey?
Is Poppy being put back in foal?
I feel I can get nosey now x

Thank you everyone, I’m so so thrilled with the way it’s all panned out. They are lovely to watch together and their bond is getting so much stronger each time I see them.
I’m grateful I’ve been able to share it with you all and it’s really helped to have somewhere to come and talk about things. I have cried numerous times, sad and more recently happy tears!
I really do not know what colour she will go, one vet has suggested a grey roan, others bay but she is greying around the eyes if you look at a certain angle.. I reckon she may well look like her mother one day!
From what I understood, Poppy won’t have another foal, her owner rescued her and she happened to be in foal, she is young (6) and her loosing this foal hit her so hard I don’t think her owner wanted to risk her ever going through it again. I believe she wants to break her in when she goes home!

I wanted to show to this! It’s a bit of a regression, and we should not be looking back; only forwards… but you suggested a big teddy, my friend did the Friday night shift and found her like this. I find it heartbreaking but also heartwarming at the same time.
Thank you for the suggestion! It clearly gave her some comfort

That picture!!! If it wasn't for the fact that I know this story has a happy ending... I think that would have broken me ?
Thank you so much for sharing your story, I look forward to seeing DeeDee go from strength to strength!

What a journey, i think a lot of us on here joined you in this emotional roller-coaster, but with sleep! Although hopefully the dramas are all over, we will still want regular updates and photos.
You have also found a new friend in Tracey.
Congratulations in preserving and making 2 equines much happier.

It is lovely to see the photos of Poppy and the foal in the field together, the foal looks very pleased to have a proper mum! The passport name 'Dare to Dream' definitely suits the situation; if you want a stable name other than Dee Dee what about one of the female characters from Shakespeare's 'All's Well That Ends Well', as it hopefully fits the theme

Dee will be grey. She will go speckled and probably pinkish, then eventually through to white.
That last photo is beautiful!

I am so so so so so relieved, I can't even imagine what you must feel. Thank you for updating us, I'm so glad it's working out with Poppy! That photo with the bear just made me cry, nature can be so rubbish when it doesn't work but thankfully nature came with another solution.

And the picture with the Teddy has definitely brought me to tears!

What a coincidence, just been scrolling through TikTok and came across a video of a mare and foal and thought they look familiar! It was Chilly and little DD. Lovely to see the clips of Poppy and DD frolicking.
