Yeh, this is getting scary. I hope the vet gets there FAST.

NOw it’s a standoff. He doesn’t dare go near her.

Don’t you wish that gray mare in the background could talk some sense into Tiya?

Damn! She actually slammed her hindquarters into him that time! A sideswipe, but she’s getting nastier.

I think we’re seeing a foal rejection in the making.

Maybe the gray mare could give a demo? She looks like she would like to take on the new colt herself. I say give him to her!

It’s so sad. I wish they’d just separate them and milk her.  
She needs to be sedated!

Phew! Human intervention – at least there’s a person there now.

And the vet! YES!

Looks like it, eyeh, one of those heavy-duty clamp types.

Crikey! Bitch just kicked while the vet was down in there trying to get the colt latched on. The vet was shaking her wrist afterwards; hope she’s okay.

Ah, vet’s come in with another needle.

Oh, definitely stronger; she just almost went down. I wonder whether the vet will milk her now rather than trying to get the foal in there, in danger of mom collapsing on him.

ETA: Yup, looks like milking.
