This morning we got a call from our trainer, her clients horse had a foal and he did not want it. He is selling the mare soon and the foal will soon be an orphan. So my friend, Effie, picked me up and we drove to the stable to check on the foal. The little filly was nursing and getting around well. We are hoping to have the mare for at least 4 months if the owner will hold off on the sale. But in these times everyone is in a hurry and time is money. And baby horses cost money to raise, especially without a mare. My friend is willing to take the time to hand raise this foal even though she is a working grandmother with horses of her own.
