    mares and foals

    I was told today of a "big" mare who together with her 6 week old foal were put in a paddock with another mare with foal of similar age. The two mares have known each other for years but had been separated when foaling. It appears the second mare bailed the other foal in a corner of the...

    Testicles

    I had a colt gelded and the vet was very interested in the fact that one of the testes was slightly malformed. It was clearly evident when she drew my attention to the difference between the normal one and the malformed one as they were placed side by side. This would definitely have made a...

    The moult is beginning... took their covers off yesterday and few loose hairs drifted away. They were really leaning into the curry comb as they were being groomed, particularly on their necks, so clearly starting to get itchy! I can't wait to clip them. One of the boys has been so hot and...

    Do you have any "idiosyncracies?"

    I have to pour boiling water into my mug if I'm making a cup of tea or coffee. Even if the jug has just boiled and I've gone to the fridge to get the milk, I have to boil it again and have the water bubbling as I pour it into my mug. My husband reckons I've got an asbestos lined throat as I...
