Yesterday morning at 115 my mare gave birth to a super black/grey colt, huge long legs. But it took us an age to get him suckling, 1120 yesterday morning finally the penny dropped. we were able to syringe some colostrum into him but not sure if it was enough, milked from the mare but he had to much fight in him to tube him!!! now suckling well?? doing blood test today and praying he is going to be ok. Having lost one tuesday i dont want to lose this one.meet jack by cunning devil z

both lovely keoffe, your little boy looks very strong despite taking his time, i'm sure he's going to be a big boy he looks huge compared to my tiny little filly :)

so sorry to hear you lost a poor little one, i cant imagine how that must feel :( hope the mare is ok.
