This morning we got a 4am phone call from our nearby horse trainer, our foal was born. We hurried, dressed and dashed out of the house down to the stables. Luna, our fox trotter, finally gave birth to a tiny little colt. Luna waited until the hottest night of the year to do this. She gave birth in the mud so both of them are caked up. Our vet came by around 8am to float Dolly's teeth and check Little Bean. He was missing antibodies in his blood and needed a booster. Luna was not happy about this but we were able to administer it quickly. Both are staying cool inside a stall for now. They will be back into the pasture by this weekend if all goes well. And we will try to give them a bath.
