Bred this mare last year but due to too many meds prescribed by docs....didn't write down dates or who the sire is!!!! My bad! Didn't believe mare was pregs because all she did was get really fat. NO foal movement, squishy belly and NOTHING changed. Looked at her last night and because the udder expressed sticky fluid easily decided to put her up just in case. I raise mules and they are very protective of the herd. Anything new they attack, even foals. Boy am I glad I did. Went out this morning to find a new baby boy with momma.
He is a blue-eyed silver dapple. I think he has a problem though. His front fetlocks appear to be fused. He walks on his tiptoes and when I tried to flex his legs they don't give. What kind of issue am I dealing with? Will he be in pain all his life?
Front legs....
