Queenie the shire

[mymare]

Doesn't bear thinking about what's going through her mind, she must be so confused and distressed.

 

[Vizslak]

why on earth have they put another in next to her? Its just made her more agitated

 

[Pipkin]

Poor girl look devastated

 

[mymare]

Yes I noticed that. Was it there earlier or have they just put it in?

 

[Ellies_mum2]

Poor Queenie

 

[vikkibeth]

It's been there all along.

 

[Vizslak]

really? I have never seen it hang over the door before!

 

[Fantasy_World]

I thought I could see another horse behind and it certainly hasn't helped judging by the swinging around and flat back ears. For one moment I did consider pain or colic with her doing that but then thought she is trying to protect her dead foal from another horse. How sad

 

[B_2_B]

I have a horrible feeling that the foal was stillborn, just because they seemed so confident of her foaling yesterday and her taking until now to give birth, but we might never know.

But I do think we need to remember we can only see so much, maybe they should have been in there earlier, but nobody's perfect and they were clearly devastated

I don't think updating the internet will be their immediate priority atm either...

 

[vikkibeth]

Poor thing needs a foster foal, she's lost too many

 

[sakura]

that was tragic to watch poor Queenie xxx

 

[B_2_B]

Yeah that horse has always been there, they might take it away if Queenie doesn't want it there.

I agree

I know Was just wishing

 

[Vizslak]

definately, they may have had a reason for steering clear until later as well. We dont know.

Yeah, I also don't think any of the distress is over the other horse just what the poor girls just gone through poor thing

 

[flashmans]

Yes, really hope they can get her a foster.

 

[vikkibeth]

Yes, really hope they can get her a foster.

There must be one out there for her, only way this could have a vague happy ending for her

 

[B_2_B]

That would be lovely if they could, there's a lot of people aware of her so I'm sure if there are any suitable they will know pretty quickly

 

[flashmans]

Just updated twitter - the foal has indeed passed away

Quick appeal.......

 

[YorksG]

I actually hope that they can't get her a foster foal tbh, as if the foal were going to be big enough to suckle from her, then another shire mare will have died

 

[Kellys Heroes]

Just saw a few minutes before they went off air.
Is that the foal she's still trying to get up?
Heartbreaking viewing poor girl
R.I.P foalie

Not necessarily so, a shire fostered a Lustino a while ago, so long as its a fair sized foal it will do ok.

As many of you will have seen this evening, Queenie went into much anticipated labour. At 11.45pm she gave birth to a beautiful filly foal. Although she had a perceptible heartbeat when she was born she was not breathing. Emma, tried hard and long to get her to breathe with the help of Farmer Morris. Throughout this period a vet was on the phone talking the team through procedures. None of our efforts could save her and she peacefully slipped away a few minutes after her birth.
As you can imagine, we are all devastated by this awful and unexpected outcome. Although watchers of the foaling tonight will have seen the true grim realities of animal husbandry this in no way belittles the personal sense of tragedy and loss we are all feeling. The sense of bitter disappointment is tempered only with the fact that the filly foal did not suffer at all.
We hope you will understand that we are no longer having the webcam in Queenie’s stable.

Posted on the website just now as the cam went off air.

Rest in Peace little foaly and love to Queenie

Camera is off. Poor Queenie. My heart goes out to her and all the staff.

I'm so very sorry, that was heartbreaking to watch. Awful for all involved. xx
