IT'S A FILLY! (pic overload)

Cute filly.

If you are in such a state of financial woes that you cannot even afford to move your horse when people are being dangerously belligerent and abusing your horse, then WHY exactly are you keeping this foal? You are no better then them if you cannot afford decent care for your horse and continue to blame them for your predicament. Sell them the foal, cut your losses and smarten up.

There is zero indication he is going to make any sort of jumper - neither of his parents have anything that resembles super jumping power. He is going to be one more half Draft Grade foal.

Well, I just want to say that I think Sonya and Rumor are lucky to have someone that cares so much for both of them. I think there may be a lack of communication between you and the BO... If it were me, I would explain to them that I am in the process of finding another place to board my horse and her filly, and in the mean time NO ONE is going to kick her, or abuse her in ANY way, unless they want the appropriate authorities notified immediately and their barn put under investigation... I'm sorry, maybe that's not the right thing to do, but that just pis**s me off... Animal cruelty is not necessary under any circumstances... I mean, for gods sake, she just had a baby, and didnt you say she ripped??, and she is in a barn with a bunch of jerks that do god knows what to her every time they enter and leave her stall. It makes me sick. MOVE HER. And good luck.

Unfortunately sssmith, everyone on this forum has been telling ilovesonya before the foal was even born to move the mare to another barn when she first posted of the issues. Now, the foal is born and she is telling us that the BO kicked the mare, made her squeal, has told other boarders that they are taking the foal, and the OP has STILL not moved the mare and foal, just keeps talking about making appointments to see the new barn, yadda yadda.
We have also all wondered why her parents are not getting this problem straightened out, again, ilovesonya just does a song and dance about "I am looking at places to move her" even after she said the BO kicked her mare.
She might love her horse and foal, I am sure she does, but she doesn't seem to be in a big hurry to move them, and it seems that her and her parents are just letting this keep happening day after day.

I agree... but Im so sad about it for Sonya and her baby.
I know she loves her mare... I think if it were really up to her the mare would be moved, but I don't think the ultimate decision is hers... I don't know, I could be wrong, but I know if anyone ever kicked my mare... they better run because their going to get kicked back.

Any updates???

I'm staying out of the drama, but to answer the OP's question "is Rumor a light or dark bay" - I don't think she's a bay at all. Maybe the pics distort the color, but she looks like a chestnut or sorrel to me. No black on her, then she's not a bay.
