Delgiht to heartbreak
I love my horses. I would kill anyone who hurts them. We took in a big Belgiam mare. She was being shipped to Canada for slaughter. She came with a six month old filly foal and settled in nicely
This week, the new foal she was carrying was born. Huge colt of eleven hands at birth. The mare rejected him. We dried him, got him so collestrim. got a big bottle and foal lac and started the hard job of raising a foundling. Looked good, We finally got a sheep nipple that he liked, he was drinking two liters per feeding. Eight times a day, had bonded with one of our Shetland mares and Sunday it all went to hell. He stopped feeding, would not get up and was gone before the sun went down. I had to have my help deal with the vet as I was too broken up to talk, I hate to brawl like a baby. But I hate losing them and it is worse when they are so young
He has galloped over the rainbow bridgem he is joing some old friends and I wait for my turn to join them
