I have 4 mares under camera with alarms on. So who foals????????? The nearly blind mare that had no signs other than dropping a little.
I was standing on the back deck watching the mares when I notice a foal laying by my round bale. After running outside to msee if it was okay Danny walks up to me and the filly and nuzzled the filly. She hops up and started to nurse. I was excited because I bought Danny exposed but didn't think see was expecting.
I go to let the other mares out to pasture so I can get the mare and baby settled and noticed my newly blind horse is now skinny, wet in the back and has a huge bag. So off to Danny I go. She has no bag (wet nipples) and dry with no signs of foaling. She took Sugars baby.......
I have reintroduced Sugar and the filly but I am really scared. She was really nervous when the foal tried to nurse but eventually let her. She will let her nurse but it doesn't seem like she is bonded. She doesn't seem protective. She there anything I can do to help and what do I watch out for?
And what do I do about Danny she really wants that foal back?
Thanks I have never had this happen before.
Can some please explain to me how to post pictures here? I have gone to photo websites to try to shrink them but nothing works. Can you point in the direction of step by step dirrections. I am too computer stupid to figure it out on my own. I have read before that photo bucket (i think) does it for free but I could not figure it out. I got it to shrink my picture but not enough to post here.
