This is the "Dummy Foal" I posted about on Monday. She has totally recovered! :yeah Here she is: Mabuhay Farms Princess Marie.

UPDATE: Everything was the same when I went out to feed this morning at 2am. I went back out at 4am and when I started to milk the mare, she had very little milk. While trying to milk her, I felt something touch my hands from the other side of the mare. It was the foal and she was nursing...

I do not currently have any minis. I have been researching, looking and preparing our farm. I have looked at breeders websites who have a large number of horses. How do they tell them apart? I mean if you have 100 horses and 100 sets of paperwork. Can you remember them all? Do you go by...
