Am house/horse sitting a horse breeding property that we cull deer/rabbits and other vermin off. Spend 2-3 days up there feeding out during the week while the owners stay in the city.

This foal was born this morning when I wasnt there damnit.....

Hopefully the others that are due to foal will wait till later in the week......

Wow!!!  Isn’t it amazing, born a few hours ago and up and going.  Horses are special.  IIRC my pastor once told me they are mentioned in the Bible more than ALL other animals combined.  They are that special.

Thanks for sharing brother.  Breed?

Every time I look at the pic and see the ratio of body to legs he looks like a horse version of a monster truck...

Tall fences and long legs go together by design 😁

Interesting they leave them out in the fields.  We use to lock them up in birthing stalls as soon as they showed any signs they were close in my neck of the woods.
