RIP my darling Mona we will look after your boy for you and you will always be in our hearts!!!!!
 
That is so so sad. That 1st photo made me cry. I hope the wee guy does well and does his mummy proud. Lots of hugs to you and him. xxxxx
 
So sorry for your loss. We have successfully handreared with no obvious behaviourable problems, so feel free to contact us. The main thing is to get a stepmum so that foal is still kept in line. Good luck.

Many thanks, im hoping our mares will accept him in the herd, most are very good mums and end up with "extra" foals to their own, hoping today his IgG test comes back good and I can stop worrying about that side, of which I am counting down the hours!!! May well be in touch so thank you for that. Our stud are a fantastic support also having raised a few orphan foals so im hopeful he is strong and will cope.

Just to say thank you for all your support everyone!!!
 
So sorry to read this. That 1st photo is beautiful. I'm so sorry to read about your mare and hope her boy continues to grow strong x
 
How very sorry to read of your loss,every time i read these tragic stories i well up. Hoping your boy stays fit and healthy and has many more years ahead of him.
 
RIP Mona & Run Free,

The photo of Mum and her baby boy made me cry.

So so sorry for the loss of your beautiful mare and good luck with handrearing her lovely colt xx
 
So sorry P, tragic news. Hope little one does well. Echo the getting him company of his own, it helps so much and made a huge difference when Harry came to join Freddy a week later, I'm sure that's why they grew up to be not as pushy as some orphans get because they didn't have only me to play with! Any help you need just holler but I'm sure it would be like teaching you to suck eggs! Hugs to everyone but at least you have a lovely reminder of Mona.
 
How heart wrenching - RIP Mona! I absolutely salute you in your efforts to hand raise your beautiful foaly! Best wishes, hope it all works out well! x
 
So very sorry to read your bad news, that first picture is very special, I wouldn't be able to look at that without bawling for a very long time.

RIP Mona xx
 
Oh Thats so sad I am so sorry for your loss of such a lovely mare she has given you a wonderful foal RIP Mona.
 
so sorry for you loss !! lots of vibes getting sent your way, that your lovely foal, continues to thrive under your care. ((HUGS))
 
Very sorry to hear of the loss of your beautiful mare. I hope the foal thrives and goes from strength to strength x
 
Oh Dear. I have shed more tears on the forum this year than ever before - what a horrid year for breeders. You mare was beautiful and she has left you a precious gift. By the looks of the pictures your mare and foal could not have been in safer, kinder hands. Sending you positive vibes for you on your loss and your darling new foal xx:)
 
I'm so sorry .....I can't think of anything worse, it is my nightmare.
Take comfort in that you have part of her to live on in her beautiful baby boy.
Hugs to all that loved Mona and cuddles to her beautiful baby xxxxx

I don't often coming in here, but have just looked at your post. That first photo of your lovely girl and her baby has to be one of the most tragic I've ever seen on HHO. Such a beautiful girl. I am so very sorry to hear about her. Lots of hugs and best wishes for her baby's progress. xxx
