Weird, Sad News

You remember that Carolyn's paint mare had her baby while she was at my place. After the colt was born Carolyn sold the mare with the colt at her side.

I recently learned that while one day the colt was jumping and playing around his mother, cuddling with her and thriving,
the next day he was found standing over her dead body!
She literally just dropped dead over night!
Sooo... SAD.

The colt can't be weaned until he is, at the very least, 3 months old. The people who bought the mare and her colt couldn't (or wouldn't) spend the time to bottle feed him. Luckily a fellow I know adopted him. Bruce Winegar has given him a good home and as far as I know he is doing really well.

THANKS BRUCE :)
