Good News, Bad News

Good News!

Smart Lil Dunny had his first foal, its a very cute and sweet solid(no paint markings) sorrel colt.

Bad News!

His birth went fine and was born super healthy and in great shape. But by afternoon of his first day another horse in his pasture decided to handle him pretty ruff.. From marks and wounds looks like he was picked up by back of neck and then given a good owie to hind end.. the neck wound promptly began to swell and turn into abscess on both sides of his neck that are going to be lanced and drained and will take time to heal.. The wound on butt is pretty nasty as actual hide is missing(you can see in picture) and some that is still attached is dead and will be removed.. So at afternoon check on his first day of life he had to get his first trailer ride with his mom and get a ton of handling at vets. He and his mom will be at vets for a few days so if all goes well & no infection gets hold he will be fine minus a bit of hide and probably a few scares for life..

Glad this is end of foaling season as it has be the longest one todate..
