Very premature foal

Is he home yet?

Can you give a short verbal version of what it is, for those of us who do not like giving her the clicks she so enjoys.

If it is the one I saw she was at home showing his potential turnout options. Seven was not in the video. @trubandloki

This should be where he will be turned out

I saw a new video (the last of the videos from when he’s at Tennessee) where Dr. U talks about trailering safety & how they plan to trailer 7.

Stock trailer (bc it is heavier & shouldn’t bounce around as much as a smaller trailer?)
Gooseneck
7 gets his own box stall so he can decide how to stand/lay down
Gretchen will not be in the same area, she will have her own stall

7 is supposed to be making his trip Tuesday (today?). He had a bandage/splint on the left front to help stretch out the leg during growth spurts (and everytime he has a growth spurt that leg tries to contract so they have to splint it) but was ready to come off? I didn’t look closely but it almost looked like the splint was duct tape over a pillow? They did show a close up of the bandage.

When I click it just takes me to my own FB page.

Maybe I s/b glad I don’t get to see this hot mess as it happens.
As described by @leighbo009 the “decide to stand or lay down” sounds like a Pipedream, unless he’s regularly making those choices unassisted.
In a stock trailer I see him going down & unless they block him in place - say, with hay bales - he’ll roll around like a marble in a can.
That poor baby :sleepy:

The one that was linked just shows her talking about how he’s going to be turned on on dry lot and they’ve paneled off a small area of grass so he can graze “with a friend - whoever turns out to be his best friend,” I think is how she phrased it.

My head so badly wants to meet my desk right now.

And the area of grass looks like it’s roughly 30x30. I’m sure the grazing will hold up. /sarcasm

She also shows a dry lot with tons of other horses on it. Not sure what the grand plan is there…

I watched the video. I always regret it afterwards but curiosity always gets the best of me.

That little grassy area will last a week and not sure how all the minis are going to do with a big horse around.

The back field with all the grass looks troublesome for his mobility issues. I’m hoping he fares better than I expect and the barn keeps cameras on him to watch and help if he struggles.

The minis and one donkey are in a true dry lot that opens to what Katie called a “larger pasture” with grass just starting to grow.

With God as my witness I (painfully) have to give two thumbs up for that care arrangement. Minis & donks do not need lush grass unless they are on a leadrope, even then, for only 15 minutes, 30 minutes tops.

Update: they are loaded on the trailer :grimacing:

Whelp he made it to the farm. She posted a video of him in the stall with his stuffed animal. I saw her on Snapchat actually be very candid and honest about his homecoming which was refreshing to hear. Not the typical sunshine and rainbows she is on TikTok

For us Tech dinosaurs who don’t Snapchat, could you summarize her candid honesty?

OK, I will ask a different way, can you please summarize for those of us who would prefer to not give her clicks.

You don’t give her clicks on Reddit. Somebody screenrecorded it off Snap and posted it in a snark group.

This game where people want to have all the updates but want to get their reports from other people to not “give clicks” and then grilling people who did watch the videos is annoying. There are no clicks on Reddit.

Thank you.

If my requests annoy you, you are free to ignore me.

Something I did not know until @steelerino so nicely explained that point.

Love how she made it a priority to put on a full face of makeup up to go pick up a horse! Yes, that is sarcasm! We know it is all about the online presence and the clicks, so give the audience what they want.

If she is that damn worried about bringing him home, why is that? Why, why, why?

If it was so important to keep this poor colt alive, and he is over a full year old, wouldn’t you have a plan in place you were confident in to insure this horse’s safety?

She has obviously gotten the message about what people think about her, and what she has done with this horse’s safety and quality of life, or lack thereof, and obviously doesn’t care.

Maybe she needs to hire her own vet or go to vet school herself! Nah, scratch that- no glamour or clicks involved in vet school!

It is all about the clicks, baby, all about the clicks!
