My foaling is over now for this season. I ended up with 4 fillies & 2 colts. Here they are!

THis is a point I would like to hear some different views on. I know everyone has different ideas. The recent topic of stallion being late to mature & dropping later then 2yrs does not worry some but others do not tolerate it. My question is what about all these mares that are late maturers...

When ever i go out to 'play' with my foals my dog has a habit of walking up to the foals, standing nearly ontop of them so they think she must have food to offer. She thinks the 'belly rub' is fantastic. So I caught her in the act! Just had to share!

I just had my first foal for these season!! (our foaling season only started 4 days ago) And its a filly. Darn mare did not even lie flat out to have her. - did not set the foaling alarm off. Luckly no troubles went out to do my final check before bed to see the pair of them laying down.
