Itsa shamrock Buttons ..aka buddy is our last partbred we have that we bred and due to cutting back due to my ongoing health problems is now ready and availiable for sale as will be several other purebreds that will come up for sale shortly. He was gelded last year ( was very easy to float there and back and to have all his after care done etc..such a good boy 😀) and has had good basic handling and is a very friendly chap.
His mother jessica was our sons first pony and taught many how to ride and was a lovely sweet welsh riding pony... his dad is our multi supreme coneemara stallion itsa shamrock jitterbug.
He is on the smaller side due to mum being a little welshy and we estimate his height to be approx 12.2 hh..
He was born as a late season foal in 2014 and stayed with us longer than usual due to my having a stroke in 2018 and as such is ready to start and go on with straight away and have his own family to love and get out and enjoy life with $2500 ..he is a lovely sweet pony.

I have popped in some more recent photos of him below and also some pics of his mum and his dad for you to see.. there are also more photos of him if you scroll down through our page 😀

WHAT IS A "DUMMY" FOAL?

A dummy foal is a foal that did not get the stupor inducing chemical squeezed out of it during the birthing process. All foals are in essence, "drugged" as they enter the birth canal. This keeps them from struggling and doing real damage to their mother on their way out. At some point, (probably when the chest/stomach are sliding out) they get squeezed in a certain way that reverses this chemical.

Madigan hypothesized that a possible reason neurosteroids might persist and prompt NMS-like signs in some foals is that normal signaling events during the birthing process don't take place properly. For instance, he said, if a foal passes rapidly through the birth canal or is delivered via cesarean section, normal transition signals that prompt a reduction in fetal pregnane levels might not take place, leaving the foal with elevated neurosteroid levels."

(In this little palomino's case, his mother did not lie down at all to foal and so he fell out of the birth canal very rapidly) Here is the link to our post about the Madigan Procedure (which our KY volunteers actually used to save the dummy foal pictured here after failing at their first attempt trying it)....https://www.facebook.com/HeartofPhoenixEquinerescue/photos/a.947289195302376.1073741903.356449524386349/947296441968318/?type=3&theater

So in a "dummy" this did not occur. The foal remains in a stupor, with a very weak suck reflex and really no idea that it has a mother or should be looking for milk. They may stumble around the stall in a dull manner or try to sleep a lot. 80% of the time, these dummies can be saved, but it means hand milking the mare every hour and a 1/2 and feeding the foal every two hours for about 10 days. It is exhaustive labor and at the end of 10 days (when it wears off), very difficult to get the foal to then learn how to nurse. Many people do not realize they have a dummy; not even being familiar with what dummy foal syndrome is, and assume all is well in nature. These unidentified babies will die in less than 48 hours.
Dummy foal syndrome is officially called Noenatal Maladjustment Syndrome. Most people who have heard of it do not know it by that name so we chose to refer to the common one.
