Okay, so our first foal is 4 weeks old today, and i'm a bit worried. I've noticed some odd things in his back feet and mom and dad have NO signs of at all and no one in the lineage has it either. It really scares me. The little guys back legs are perfectly straight, but his hooves, its almost like when he sands he rocks back on them. Is that because they need to be done right away? He runs perfectly normal, just when he stands he stands like on the back. I'm really worried because he is such a beautiful little colt with bright blue eyes and the cutest personality. I don;t know if they just need to be trimmed or is it a deformity?
We have another mare who bagged up after this foal was born (the foal isn't hers). She was producing very watery milk (i guess it was milk). At one point only one side was bagged up. But now shes no longer bagged up anymore. She looks as if she could be pregnant, but why would she bag up and then now she isn't bagged up AT ALL. Could that have been a response to the baby? Could something really be wrong with her?
