12:30 this morning my friends 14.3hh mare foaled.
The filly was born blind and potentially deaf too. She wouldnt/couldnt suckle. There was one of us either side trying to get filly to suckle but she just couldnt do it Vet came out and confirmed this and advised the kindest thing to do would be put her to sleep. So she has gone.
The colustrum(sp.) has been frozen. And the foal is with the mare to aid the grieving process.
If anybody knows of any orphaned foals that arent too far from Shenley, Herts, PLEASE email me:
deanne.naylor@gmail.com. I will not be back on here until later, but emails come through to my blackberry.
This is the mares 3rd foal. She is registered with the national foaling bank and we have a team of people calling every equine person we know ATM to keep their ears open for us.
Thanks
