Posted - 04 Jan 2015 : 2:57:28 PM Just to say that yesterday my friend had a surprise foal born to a show jumper she brought in the spring, she has been jumping her all summer, by the panic phone call for help I had yesterday morning, as mare was in a bit of shock as well and was frightened of the foal, but a little sedative for mare and time, all is happy and foal is feeding well.
Made me remember how hard work it is when things don't go to plan.
Foal is a TB type, but it's still exciting!

Posted - 04 Jan 2015 : 4:17:22 PM I had had a bit of a lazy few weeks, my husband said he had never seen me jump out of bed so fast, needless to say I was exhausted by the time I got home. I will post some photos in a few days, of the foal Bumble, and of the mare jumping wile in foal!
