I don't know, I've never counted. Not all mine though, I foal down outside mares too and have broodmares living here 365 days and go through the whole shebang with them for many years :)

Spring Feather is THE foaling/ breeding guru on this thread/forum as far as I'm concerned/ know - I would listen to her advice.

They were very nice to me after pleading to remove the thread with an iffy title i put up :o
 
I wouldn't bother with a headcollar yet personally, that foal will glue itself to mom and go where she goes. I never put a foal slip or headcollar on until I weaned, but then we have a lot of natural hedging and I'd be worried it would get caught. Not saying there's anything wrong with putting one on, but never found it necessary. Never would turn out in a headcollar either.

Oh really ? :) Thank you for sharing that and your advice :D
 
The excitement is getting too much for me, so goodness knows what state you're in!

Oh... now, a friend of mine who has 'given up' horses (stoopid girl!) gave me some bits and pieces to use or pass on to friends as I saw fit.. and amongst them is a lovely little tiny pony size leather headcolllar... it would be an absolute pleasure to send it to you for Mini T (who, as I said before I think will be a grey or cremello colt!) if you want it?! PM me your address if you do and I'll stick it in the post ASAP :)
 
I have been following this thread religiously but not posted previously, and I cannot resist any longer. It sounds like the time for guessing what the baba will be is fast running out....I am going for a chunky bay filly with a white face :D

Wishing you all the very best and I can't wait to see the pic overload :D
 
I'm weighing in with my guess (because THIS foal is anybody's guess!!)
Black colt; star; one white stocking and a LOT of hair :D

Good luck tessybear!

Wonder if this thread will make it into h & h mag next week for most popular etc.... Baby t will be famous before she's here (yes she, the chestnut made foal I've guessed!!!!) :-)

This means that the foal will have to have a universal kind of name. I can only come up with boring ideas like "Intercontinental" or "Galactica" but I'm sure there'll be some good ideas out there. (Poor Tessy bear and family ... we've all claimed some sort of vicarious rights in this foal - isn't it great!)
 
We practised haltering our little man from day one but never left him turned out in it. Sometimes we would put in on him whilst we were poo-picking and leave it on for 15 mins but they object more to the action of putting it on than wearing it. I had a nylon one but found it too bulky and stiff to be able to get the buckle done up quickly enough so I bought a leather one instead.... but he never wore it when we weren't there to keep an eye on him. He was so well socialised that far from being unable to catch him, we were unable to keep him AWAY!!!
