So very sorry you lost your colt, you couldn't have done more for him. You must all be very tired but happy the filly is thriving and the mare is ok. Please keep us posted with news of Silver.
 
I am so sorry to read your news, but you gave him the best chance, it just wasn't to be sadly :(

Makes little Silver all the more precious
 
So sorry to hear about your loss. You really did everything you could for him. Fingers crossed Silver continues to go from strength to strength.
 
I'm SO sad to hear the news on your lovely little colt. :-( I think.we've all got emotionally attached to your foals whilst reading your posts. Good luck with Silver, she was part of a very special pair and hoping she will grow up to run rings around you, cause havoc and caos and everything else a youg horse should. X x x
 
So sorry to hear about your colt.
At least you can know he'll live on with his sister. ((((((((hugs)))))))
 
Im sorry to read this. At least you know you did all you could.
I watched the lovely video of Silver, shes gorgeous, all the best with her
 
I'm so sorry you lost your colt.

I'm sure I'm not the only one on this forum who has had a little cry over him, we were all willing him to pull through but sadly it wasn't to be.

Although you must be devasted at his loss you can be comforted by the fact that you did everything you could for him and its a tribute to your love and care that he lived as long as he did against impossible odds.

Good luck with Silver, I hope she brings you lots of fun and enjoyment.
 
Just dashed in from work and first thing was to check how your babies were doing, so terribly sorry to hear about flopsy not making it RIP little guy, fingers crossed that Silver continues to get stronger and stronger x
 
Just been out to check on mares and foals this morning and all looking good. Silver was up on her feet when I got to the barn, and had a little buck and a kick round the box while Mum was eating her brekkie.

We popped them out in the paddock for an hour last night, just to let Mum stretch her legs and so we could rearrange the boxes to make her a smaller area to cope with. She came in fine, although they did have to stop halfway for her to refuel!

We've restricted them to one end of the barn for the time being. We've put plenty of bedding down and sealed up all the draughty corners so she'll be nice and cosy and can't scrape herself on the floor too much. We're conscious of the advice we've been given on here to make sure she doesn't spend too much time on her little legs, so they'll have only an hour out for the next couple of days and then probably a bit longer at the weekend, when there's more time for playing musical paddocks!

I have to go back to London today, so I'm leaving her in the hugely capable hands of my cousin, without whom, frankly, we'd have no foals at all this season. The TB foal was overdue and pretty dopey when born, and took a couple of days to find her feet. And with these two, the little colt had the bag on his nose when he arrived, and Silver was not presented the best. So I owe her all of them.
 
:( :( i came late to this thread and read it all tuesday night and really hoping both were be ok as they were doing so well. Well done for the fab job you have all done though, its a credit to you as we have all 'heard' (thankfully few of us have ever had to deal with) how difficult twins are so i think its great. So sad for the little man though, thats what i find so hard about foals though, they look to be getting stronger and then can just turn.

best of luck with silver, she looks lovely xxx
 
What sad news, however echoing what others have said, you should be very proud of what you have achieved and the care given to get to this point.
Silver is a special treasure and one that all forum members will want to follow closely so keep up with the updates!
 
So glad Silver is doing so well! Does she have a dog jacket for indoors and outdoors? I can see her getting herself a little wardrobe!
Best of luck with her!! x
 
Like lots of people I've been following this thead avidly! Such a shame about Flopsy, bless him ... but it's so nice to see Silver playing and looking well! .... I wish her all the luck in the world x
 
Only just found this thread - very interesting! Am terribly sorry about your little colt :-( but here's hoping Star will keep going for him. X
 
I have only just seen this thread and your amazing story brought a tear to my eye. Thank you for sharing the story, videos and pictures. Sorry for your loss of the gorgeous colt and all the very best of luck with the filly.
