Well, so much for non-horsey husbands

[Marty]

I swear I won't bore you so much after this. I just thought this was so funny, I couldn't resist and had to share.

I think Jerry's been smitten don't you?

I"ve overheard him telling a work man that he's enjoying Timmy so much that he wants a whole bunch of little foals now! Do you think we'll make good parents?

He came home from work and went right out to the barn and we began to tackle Timmy's feet. He has been walking on his pasturns and we got a rasp and some directions and it was amazing just how a little bit of trimming that pointed toe off began to pop him right on up quite a bit on his feet. We believe that it could possibly be a selinium deficiency or that he was in fact a premie, or both. We plan to do a little rasping on the toe once a week until he's where he should be.

I must admit that he comes right on up now to get his halter on.....sticks his little nose right in the hole for you. Picked up his little feet easily and stood like a pro.

Those pictures are precious! Especially the last one.

Marty, I had a long discussion with my vet about selenium deficiency. I am going to start giving my expectant mares selenium shots 30 days prior to their due date. For the very reason you are saying. I hate giving the babies a shot right out of the womb and have not been doing it but have heard several around the area having great success with nice strong legged babies after giving the mare a shot. It stays in the system only a short time, about 60 days, and it will carry over to the foal this way as well. My vet totally agreed and we will start next spring with this routine.

He's a goner. Better watch it or he will have you buying more mares to breed to Nick. Hope the other mare mare is pregant for next year.

Timmy sure is cute little guy. Best of luck with him.

Ladies,

Isn't is great when our husbands completely "cave in" to these little horses! I too have caught my husband in the act of being completely overwhelmed by a bunch of foals from time to time - I never let on that I have seen him - I keep it my little secret since he thinks he has one from me

Oh yeah- he's hooked!

 

[Filipowicz Farm]

He is hooked, glad your husband is enjoying Timmy as much as you. He is a cutie and love the pictures. Thanks for sharing.

 

[RobinRTrueJoy]

Yep! All it takes is a fuzzy baby to turn my non horsey husband into a great big muuush! He kind of "likes" the adults ok, wouldn't miss them if they left but loves the babies.
