They still haven’t found the stolen mare, but have found a nurse mare. Here’s info on facebook [http://www.facebook.com/pages/RMH-Lady-Diana-STOLEN-MARE/102659549781451?ref=mf](http://www.facebook.com/pages/RMH-Lady-Diana-STOLEN-MARE/102659549781451?ref=mf) So sad ---

And God, but she’s a pretty girl, too. ☹ How could anyone do that??? ---

Looks like [Meri at Silver Creek](http://www.marestare.com/fcam.php?alias=silvercreektwo) is close to foaling – agitated, belly-kicking, pacing, etc. ---

Folks at Mare Stare were wondering sadly whether the Mandy people had forgotten them. Not at all, says Donna, in a [June 3rd post](http://latigo.marestare.com/forum/index.php?topic=20331.msg685430#msg685430) that has lots of pictures, yes, pictures of the rambunctious boy and his long-suffering dam. Also details on the hard times they’ve been dealing with, how things are going, and what became of the cam. Excerpt: > [@](#): > > Mander [Barry], poor thing, is losing all his face hair and getting mama’s color!!! Mandy, well, this has been hard on her. I try to spend every spare second i find just letting her know it will be over soon. She eats and eats and eats and EATS some more but it doesn’t seem a match for what Mander is taking out. He is a whopping 2 months now and STILL nurses on her like every 10 or 15 minutes AND eats hay AND eats her grain. We had to hang her bucket to keep him out and now he finds ways to hoist his head in her bucket still. Any higher and SHE won’t be able to reach it. He is a VERY VERY SMART boy!! He has settled down SO MUCH! He is almost leading with a touch…if you give him a little tiny tug on his main he follows. He loves to get scratched on his mane and his chest…oh BOY does he love his chest…he does his mama’s face…grinning!!! Apparently someone alerted them to the dangers of letting Barry get at Mandy’s grain, because there followed this post: > [@](#): > > WEll Crap!!! I just read your post Steph and glad we have been letting him out on and off during mandy’s feeding time. We will have to make this a permanent adjustment. I CERTAINLY don’t want to put too much pressure on his bones/joints/cartlidge etc…and he REALLY is growing FAST!! ---

Well sad to have to tell ya, but they found the stolen mare Lady Diana murdered ☹ Not too many details, but I sure hope they find that evil person and hang them. How could they do this to an innocent animal and why couldn’t they just turn her loose somewhere to be found and reunited with her foal and owners. We may never know, but it just made me a lose a bit more faith in the human race. Such cruel evil people out there, very scary. Wish it had turned out to be a happy ending.

Well, I haven’t posted here in a while, but its not because I haven’t been watching ‘little horses coming out of big horses’! Should I be embarrassed to admit that marestare is now my homepage? Probably. Because I know zip about horses. I am an old woman who, like many young girls liked horses in my youth, but was never in a position to be exposed to them. I did a little hack for hire riding in my younger days, but the closest I ever got to horses was when my sister in law had a horse and I could occasionally go out to the barn with her and pet and watch the horses. That said, I still love marestare! I have seen so many horses born, and donkeys too! I have seen a couple of tragedies, a couple of miracle births, and mostly just what I hope will be ‘happily ever afters’. I don’t know quite why I keep watching. But I do! 😃 ---

Though I guess if the people who did this are evil enough to steal a mare away from her hours old foal, it shouldn’t be too surprising that they are also evil enough to destroy the evidence when she became too hot to sell (if that is what happened, here). In any event, what a horrible outcome this is! :mad::mad::mad: ---

If people have been wondering where I’ve been lately, it’s hanging out as “Janicket” over at Mare Stare – so addictive! ---

I’ve seen you over there - most recently in the thread for Mai at Elements. I still have her cam up and I’m watching her colt frisk around the stall as I type. I haven’t registered at MareStare, I just lurk, waiting for the next birth. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/live-foaling-cam/531800.md?page=76)
