This is an interesting article about bottle or bucket feeding a foal.

I am sorry for your loss...poor Jinx.

I am so so sorry! Many prayers for you and yours. Especially the baby :(

My deepest condolences on the loss of your mare. How heart breaking.

Oh no! I couldn't believe it when I read this,I am so sorry! There seems to be so many losses and things going wrong this year for some reason.. I hope your little guy settles down and learns to nurse off of something besides his mom real quick. Once again, I am so sorry for your loss,I know a little what it feels like..

Oh honey! Im sooo sorry! Theres waaay too much loss this year (((hugs)))
Any updates on the little man?? I know you probably just want to concentrate on taking care of him but were all rooting for you guys!




But he's for sure a pali. My colt Charlie was the exact same color and now he's like the poster boy for Palis

I am so, so sorry to hear that :( Such a hard thing to go through. Big hugs from someone who has been there.

We had an orphan when I was a teen, we got in touch with the local 4-H goat club leader and she loaned us a Nubian nanny goat for the colt to nurse from. He thrived with his goat mom.

If you can't get a goat or two (he can/will learn to nurse directly from the goats), than the igloo milk cooler is the way to go. Young foals will naturally nurse every 15 minutes while they're awake, and there is just no way for us humans to provide that, so we wind up doing every two hours, but foals are just not like calves where they're designed to drink a lot at once. They're 'grazers' so to speak, even from birth.

Oh I am so sorry! I have been keeping up with this thread and your beautiful mare and colt, how heartrending. My heart breaks for you.

How devastating. I'm very sorry for the loss of your mare. My thoughts and prayers will be with you and your colt.
