I'm on Foal Watch!

My vet is a nice young man. He is kind and gentle with all my animals and they usually like him. The vet’s assistant, a gigantic brawny man, did a ‘hand twitch’ on both the youngsters because i wouldn’t let him hang on to their halters. I ended up sending the vet and the clinic that wonderful colored foal-growth picture. (i’ll put it here too) to show them why i stopped them from hanging onto halters. We vaccinated the dams and a few of the mustangs. We’ll do our big push and finish vaccinations and do teeth in November. I just wanted to get vaccine in these youngsters…especially if i travel them back to that barn where i train with my coach. I shouldn’t have taken him the day before his appointment…it was a risk. But he wasn’t within 50 feet of any other horses…

I love the look on his face. It reminds me of a kid who isn’t happy about having to start school after summer vacation

They were hanging around close to the barn because of horseflies. A little bit later, they headed off into their pasture to graze and spend the night.

@Angela_Freda, just wanted to make sure you saw this very sad thread.

Rereading this thread is so hard. She loved these, her “puppies”, so much. I am hoping they have a safe landing.

The linked thread has been removed, or at least I can’t see it.

I understand that it was sad news, if true. My first reaction was to hope it was a mistake.

Is it appropriate to share facts (if any) at this point? If not, that’s fine.

Lovely ponies, beautiful farm, inspired management, generous sharing, big loss (if true).
