Yes, Video is currently uploading :biggrin3:
In other news, Rory got a slightly sunburnt nose. I have no experience in sunburns in horses, silly question, but is it safe to use human sunscreen? xx

I don't know if you can - but we got equine sun cream fairly cheaply from our local tack shop.

Eta: I just realised I never posted here before...I was a serial lurker. Soo...CONGRATS ON YOUR FABBY DABBY HANDSOME FOAL.
 
He is so cute! I'm glad you're having fun with him; me too, I've been playing with my littlies too. Aren't they just the biggest and best waste of time ever!

As to suncream; due to us living in a very hot country during summers we obviously have to use suncream on our foals. I buy baby suncream, of at least SPF60. I put it on the palm of my hand and put it on with just one wipe. Try not to be fussy over it or it can become a problem with them letting you touch their nose. If you do it just once for each application they kind of forget about where it came from and just get on with figuring out what the sticky stuff on their nose is.

Only eventually by the looks of it! Talk about 0-60 in a split second :)

You could imagine Missy saying 'please let me graze...just for 5 minutes young man!!'

Absolutely adorable - and I mean the pair of them xx

Adorable cheeky little chap! Outside world is great fun! Hope you managed to catch the little treasure (or does he just follow Missy - who is a fantastic mum! (has she had foals before?)
 
Missy is a superstar and is so protective!
Rory just followed her in and out but kept running on ahead causing Missy to stress. Silly foal ;)
