Well it had to be done! Pinky's mummy is going to be brought back into work at the end of the month so we had to seperate them. Unfortunatly we dont have the facilities to keep them near one another like some people do so it was a case of litrally ripping them apart and putting mummy (tizzy) on the horsebox and driving her to her new temp field

fortunatly she was never the clingy kind so was no trouble to lead away.. the foal however was a very distressed even though she was with her companion coco (a pro having been weaned for a month now!) we shut them in with the top door closed, and although i had taken every precausion to make sure she couldn't hurt herself ( i even took the wall mounted salt lick off!!) she decided to nose dive at the door and scraped her beautiful pink nose! It was horrid hearing her screaming for her mummy

but she calmed down after an hour or so and has quickly become attached to her mate coco!

Here they are.. my babies are all grown up!

Pinky, if you look closely you can see her poorly nose

Perhaps someone can help me work out what they are to each other? Coco's mum is Pinky's mum's mum BUT Pinky's dad is Coco's dad's dad!! are the cousins or auntys or WHAT!?

They are Half Auntie and Half Niece I think

I think this is right. Coco is Pinky's 1/2 aunt on her Mam's side, but her 1/2 neice on her Dad's side, so Pinky is 1/2 aunt on her Dad's side and 1/2 neice on her Mam's side.

You should see the diagrams I drew to come to that conclusion!

LOL!!!

they are both gorgeous!
 
Bless I did mine just over a week ago, I too had to move one away from the other, I moved foal to another yard with another foal, it went very well, and today I rode my mare again for the first time in a year, both mare and myself loved every second, even when she tried bunny hopping I had to laugh. She went in one day from broodmare out 24/7 no rug to clipped, mane pulled, tail pulled, tail washed and ridden!! A case of wham bam, but she loved every minute of the attention!! Talk about glossy coat under it all and she's not even on any food yet with the milk drying up!!!
 
LOL!! I dont know if Trisha takes animals but it's sure worth a shot.. What a tangled web we wove when we bred them!
Competitiondiva- Im beyond excited to ride Tizzy again, she was broken and ridden for a few months before getting preggers and she was such a good girl, im excited to see how she matured! I wouldnt give her any hard feed even if she didnt still have milk.. some ladies obviously find it harder to loose their baby weight than others!
