More sad news, mare aborted too

[NC Roses]

I hated to hear the news of all who have had mares abort their foals recently. Sad to say, 2 days ago our Dippers Duffy daughter aborted a beautiful black colt, he had one blue eye. He was 7 to 8 weeks early. Was found during morning feeding, still in sack, cord twisted around his head. Mare is just fine. His sire is the boy in our avatar pic. This was to be his first born.

We are so bummed. I hope for better luck this foaling season, for all who have had a loss. Sarah, Rosedown Farm

Oh, no, that's really too bad. If his half sister is any indication, he'd have been a real looker!

Thank you all for your thoughtful words. Mom and I have bred arabians for 17 years and never lost a foal. We are not used to this at all and it was not expected. Especially such a tiny baby. We are expecting 4 more babies, so hoping for good news next.

Many people share your sorrow.

Fourtunately, Art and I decided last year we were not going to breed for a foal this year. Too much going on in our lives and the added stress of something like this happening. We are so very sorry for yours and your mares loss. {{{{{HUGS}}}}} I have read about foals posted they have lost already so early in the season...

Best of luck to those who are still in waiting!

I'm so sorry for the loss of that beautiful colt.

I'm sure every foal you get from your Dippers Duffy daughter is so special - a real piece of history. And your stallion (I believe) is the first Spirit get to be reproducing already. I would have liked to see that little foal as I'm sure he would have been beautiful.

Again, so sorry.

(((HUGS))) To you.

Loosing these precious little lives really takes it toll on us. I just lost one last weekend (aborted) 7 weeks early. I also feel your sadness but we can be thankful that are mares are okay and lets just hope that the foals to come will arrive safe and healthy.
