I'm on Foal Watch!

OP, please leave your videos and photos up, if you feel that you can. I have so much enjoyed seeing your beautiful farm and horses, and following along as the foals experience life.

Thank you for sharing! I know that you must be guided by your heart, but I will miss this thread.

You have a right to have your feelings and there are lines not to cross.

thanks but really, i’m too pissed and hurt. I’ve just had it with all the gatekeepers on the horse threads.

@eightpondfarm, this is a wonderful thread. I have so enjoyed seeing your “puppies” grow. When I log onto the COTH, this thread and the other sport horse breeding thread are the first and last I go to, especially if I have been to the snake pit that is often Current Events. (Why I go there I don’t know–like poking a sore tooth with your tongue.)

I hope you will reconsider and continue to pose your beautiful videos. I am a devoted fan.

Edited to add, I am so angry for you. Sorry you were subjected to nonsense on the other thread.

Please continue to show us your wonderful babies as they grow. Like above posters, this is the first place I come before I wade in to CE. This is my place of joy. I’ve raised a few baby horses and I am definitely getting my fix by coming here. I love your caretaking. Please stay.

Please don’t leave or take away your foal posts. I love them and have enjoyed watching your babies grow and their mamas too.
I am upset that people have been giving you a bad time (not shocked, because some COTHers can be shockingly mean).

Please, please don’t. That’s letting them win. I don’t even go over to whatever post you are talking about, I don’t breed, and for some reason I opened this one up and got hooked. Plus I want pics of Avatar… :slight_smile:

Please, continue the saga of your babies. I love it. Like some others said, it’s one of the first threads I look at each day. Nobody else ever has given regular updates on their foals, and for those of us who are ‘living vicariously’ thru others, lol, it’s a treasure.

ok, i’ll continue. But instead of splitting the photos in half and only posting half of them here and half on the other thread… or one of the videos here and the other one over there, i’ll put everything on my own thread.

Here are two videos from a couple of days ago. They are six months old now…

This is longer video i had to put through Youtube.

and a shorter one that i originally had on here (and deleted):

I’m here reading, and enjoying the 6 months olds in their growing up glory. My 1 breeding adventure ended up with an orphan. I’ve also been around other foals that I wished could have had a better start. Your whole story and pictures are so peaceful.

Hazel and Brenna went to training lesson today. Was a long trip for the little guy. about 2 hrs each way. I think he had fun. There were a lot of carrot bit, brushing, scritching …other people to smell… a lot of friendly admirers and he got to watch me ride Mom for the first time. I’ve not ridden her in…10 months at least.

Oh he’ll have more brain farts when he’s 4. :wink: But it’s good for him to make him a brave and secure little man,

hrrrumph :slightly_frowning_face: i’m still pissed, and removing as many posts as the program lets me on the big audience thread. All i wanted to do is what everyone else with a baby wants…to show off. I really resent the two or three people that didn’t want me to share over there. Even what they said was wrong, that i was redundantly posting. … i posted different videos here and there, Even the one that got the complaints… even that video was differnt than the video i posted here. Same day and time, but different videos. and most of the time (with a few exceptions) different photos also. I really don’t know why they had to be so mean. I always let other people share their joy. What’s WRRONG with people anyway!!!
