Meet Hughie!

[Sparkles]

He will be called Hugo....but for now he's so tiny he doesn't really look like a Hugo, so he is Hughie for the meantime!!
Crappest photo ever, was one I took very quickly when we got him stabled last night on my phone. He was moving round quite a bit so amazed I got one only slightly blurry haha.

Got him last night, he's about 6 weeks old and his mum dried up bless him So he's our little orphan foal!

Fingers crossed for him, he's got to be bottle fed for the meantime but got the vet coming out to check him today in the next hour

Very friendly and loves a body scratch!!!

So cute! Have you got his mum as well?

 

[Finn]

Awwwww bless him, he's adorable!

 

[Sparkles]

No, just him! He belonged to a friend of ours who has the mare

 

[Sprout]

Oh bless him - hope he does well.

 

[Lippyx]

How cute!! Can I ask a silly question. Why do you take him away from his mum if she has dried up? Would she begin to reject him?

 

[Samantha008]

so bloomin cute

 

[Milanesa]

so cute! hope all goes well, i would also like to know how come he gets taken away if mare dries up-dont know alot about breeding!

 

[Sparkles]

Mare was lashing out as her teats were starting to get sore from him I think!

 

[Shysmum]

he is totally and utterly gorgeous Do keep us updated..me thinks a weekly Hughie diary coming on ?

 

[Sparkles]

Tehe thankyou! He had some IV fluids earlier with the vet and has started bottle feeding, he won't touch the bucket yet though. [We tried....he ended up lobbing it 6ft in the air and covering both of us in it!].

Last seen.....sleeping flat out snoring with a very milky muzzle!!!

Hello Hughie!


THAT PHOTO has just made me smile...

 

[Sparkles]

I'll take some more decent ones tomorrow. I was going to today but my battery's been telling me it's been dying all day so had no camera on my phone lol.

 

[BentleyBelly]

Oh bless him. Do you have to get up at all hours to feed him or is he past that stage? What a sweetie.

 

[I See Clover]

He is so cute, I want to give him a big cuddle! Please upload more pictures when you have the chance
