Yeh, this is getting scary. I hope the vet gets there FAST.
NOw it’s a standoff. He doesn’t dare go near her.
That’s a good girl. Calm down and get to know your little fella.
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!
Damn straight. Did I see a syringe in the vet’s hand?
Sedation administered!
What shall we call this little guy? Lonesome Larry?
Looks like little guy’s taking a wizz.
I wish they’d put hobbles on that witch.
His first wizz. I’m so proud!
More like Reject.
Twitch on the nose?
Oh, God – finally?
Go for it Larry!
Oops!
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.
Something stronger I hope.
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.
