Maiden mare

The photos are so lovely ? I'm so glad that it's basically made such a difference to so many lives human and equine.

I just told my oh about it and showed him the pictures and he is amazed by it.

What a rollercoster ride you've had. The pics of her alone, with Teddy and Poppy have all reduced me to tears. I think there's quite a few been on this journey with you. She's now one of the HHO elite!!

 

[Bikerchickone]

Those photos! Oh my! So lovely to see them happily together. I’m absolutely delighted for you and Poppy’s owner. I saw a post from her on Facebook and recognised the story. So pleased it’s turned out this way

The teddy photo is heartbreaking and I still struggle to look at it without getting upset. But onwards and upwards from here!

Tracey and Poppy, I hope will remain friends for sure. I’d certainly like for this thread and everyone involved to hang around as well!

I’d love for D to go grey. She can look like her mother as long as she doesn’t act like her? poor mare.


Ahaha yes my Tiktok does seem to have crossed the path of a few people!

I feel honoured!!

What a wonderful update. Dare to Dream is the perfect name x

I left the thread after the birth, then came back today to read all this! What a rollercoaster indeed. So lovely to see that it all seems to be working out - I will not be scrolling past the updates again.

 

[Louisa&Chilly]

It certainly has been a bit of a roller coaster!

 

[Peregrine Falcon]

How are they both today?

 

[LadyGascoyne]

What an amazing journey.

A bit teary here too. They look so lovely together.

 

[Louisa&Chilly]

They seem closer every day and the filly is just so much happier.

She was throwing some shapes this afternoon! She wore a foal slip for the first time for a few minutes, I’m not sure she approved ?
It was nice to be able to watch and enjoy it.

Gorgeous photos. The first one is fantastic!

 

[The Fuzzy Furry]

Step mum looks very chilled, I take it all interaction is going well? Xx

 

[Peregrine Falcon]

Thank you for the pics. They seem to be bonding well.

 

[Gloi]

So lovely ?

 

[Petmurf]

Lovely photos and I’m still reduced to tears to see them so happy together.

1st photo should be framed ?

Wow that looks amazing ?

 

[HashRouge]

Gorgeous girls!! So, so glad it's all working out

 

[Rumtytum]

Think this is the happiest story I’ve ever read on HHO.

 

[Louisa&Chilly]

Thank you! For some reason I have to compress all my photos to upload them and it makes the screenshots a very odd colour!

Every interaction is amazing, I cannot get over this mare if I’m honest. She has not once shown even an ounce of annoyance or disagreement towards DD. She tolerates everything and anything. And I must say the little ones confidence is certainly growing, she is starting to test her boundaries!

she’s also a little bonkers, everytime I’ve looked this evening D has been mid lap of the field ??
She’s so happy and it’s beautiful to see. Breaks my heart to think we waited so long to find her a caring mother.

 

[Caol Ila]

I think all of us in your situation would have tried our hardest to get birth mom to bond with her foal. You did the right thing, on all counts. They are a beautiful pair.

 

[Arzada]

She’s so happy and it’s beautiful to see. Breaks my heart to think we waited so long to find her a caring mother.

The important thing is that you did find an amazing beautiful caring mother and neither of them will be thinking as you are!

 

[SashaBabe]

I am so happy it is working out so well. I love to read the updates and the pictures are fabulous.

 

[Ambers Echo]

Those pictures are wonderful. X

 

[Petalpoos]

So glad it is working out so well. Lovely pics!

 

[ycbm]

I vote this the number one thread ever started by a new joiner!
.

 

[Gloi]

I get a lump in my throat every time I see the pictures. So good to see the baby being a happy normal foal. ??

 

[CanteringCarrot]

While it was off to a suspenseful then stressful start, this thread has developed into something so rewarding. So glad everything is going well. Poppy is a star ?



Edit: omg. Autocorrect fails.

I hope not, I hope the little one doesn’t hold it against me when it comes to backing and breaking ?

The thread certainly has turned into quite something! The whole process has.
im very glad I decided to post and ask the questions!

I will keep posting regular photos and updates.

Chillys doing fine, she’s up the road and came in with the other horses today, she reared and bounced the whole way up the hill. Pretty standard for her
A lot of people told us pregnancy would help, she would mellow and become a completely different horse. She hasn’t changed in the slightest, she mellowed towards the end of pregnancy and I’m sure that’s just because she was too fat to carry out her usual antics
