Lost my foal this morning

[Holly831]

Went to turn out my mares this morning to find a perfect colt foal born 8 weeks early. Can't believe it.

Since starting breeding I have had 3 foals lost between 7 and 9 months in the pregnancy, a still born and a foal I sold at 8 months lost to grass sickness 5 weeks later in his new home.

I have 2 other mares due in the next 8 - 10 weeks so am waiting for the vet to come an check my mare over and make sure there is no sinister reason - she has given me a heathy colt - now 5, then lost at 7 months, then didn't take, then another healthy colt that died of grass sickness, a 10 month old filly that I still have and then this.

I had already decided this would be her last foal (she is 18 this time) as I felt she looked tired but I didn't expect this.

Sorry for the rant I am just upset and angry.

So sorry; it's heartbreaking to lose them at any time but when you're so close to getting them on the ground as well....... Hope your mare is fine and that your others stay safe.
