Poor Foalie had a shock tonight (which shocked me!!)

[charliesarmy]

He's what 7 months old and all afternoon has been charging around with the Sect A having great fun *although looking at foalies kicks bucks and twists backing could be fun hopefully he will grow out of it

* well him and pony were having rearing and biting competitions when Rio went up 12 o'clock legs went from under him FLAT on his back

I heard the wind come out of him...he lay there for what seemed like a age obviously winded

then he had a quick roll got up rather sheepishly and wandered back to mummy...but half an hour later was back hooning round the field..I really thought he'd done himself some serious damage

suppose he's fortunate that the fall was on very very squishy ground

*rolls eyes!* Foals! Who'd have em? LOL They tend to bounce quite well at that age. Not nice to see tho!

I had a few heart failures with mine. He's still here to tell the tale, still bouncing around (backing was fun

) Just a larger, heavier, cuddlier version of the 11 month old hoon who cane to live with us and wreak havoc with our hearts!

there pretty elastic aren't they, its not nice tho. i remember when my filly was 6 months old she tripped herself when hooning in the field and did a proper roly poly and just lay there for what felt like ages- i thought she was dead!!! soon got up tho. scary none the less!
