Our mares are continuing to make good choices; another mumma holding on through the night rain for the warm morning sunshine before releasing her bubba into the world!

Nightshade suffered a nasty laceration to her hind cannon in the stormy weather 2 weeks prior to foaling. We are fortunate to have expert veterinary care almost at our doorstop; thanks to the team at Goulburn Valley Equine Hospital she was safely stitched up and returned home without undue stress to either mare or unborn foal.

Note to self: in the quieter winter months add hammer and nails to the foaling kit for the nailing of collected hippomanes to the breeding shed door for luck.....🤣

Equine Hippomane
Brian S. Burks DVM
Diplomate, ABVP
Board-Certified Equine Specialist

Hippomanes can be found with the placenta following parturition. The hippomane is another normal structure of pregnancy: It is floppy, meaty, liver-like structure that is a concretion of waste products from inside the allantoic sac with the foal. Other suggestions include that it is an out-pouching of the allantois which eventually forms a pedicle and separates to float free in the allantoic cavity.

'What the hippomanes is, and what its proper use may be, has exercised the wits of physicians and philosophers in many ages.' (Clauderus, 1685). Although this interest has been maintained, the exact nature and mode of formation of this unusual structure found in the allantoic sac of the Equidae is still poorly understood.

Aristotle stated, circa 350 B.C. 'After parturition the mare at once swallows the afterbirth and bites off the growth, called the 'hippomanes', that is found on the forehead of the foal. This growth is somewhat smaller than a dried fig, and in shape broad and round and in color black. If a bystander gets possession of it before the mare, and the mare gets smell of it, she goes wild and frantic at the smell. It is for this reason that vendors of drugs and simples hold the substance in high request.... ' The Greek derivation of the word 'hippomanes', which means literally 'horse-madness'.

In Folklore, these are often known as the 'Foal Melt' or 'Foal Milts', which should be "dried and kept in the clothing of the person who finds it or placed on the roof of the stable." the belief being that it is "endowed with magic powers, destroying all evil forces that pursue the carriers or the inmates of the stable."

In a Welsh reference to the foal melt or cud, there follows the information that the old-time farmer would carefully remove it and nail it to the stable door to "ensure good luck would attend the c**t."

Website update for Dunroamin Standardbreds...

http://www.dunroaminstandardbreds.com.au

Still a work in progress, but the basic information is there........and breeding season is just around the corner!

We like our babies to be confident in all situation - exposure to gaint dogs is part of the training process 🤣🤣

This little filly was entered in the nutrien winter woolies sale - she is currently still ours but is still on the market.

A 2nd foal, the first foal is Cocora who trialled at Shepp last Thursday for David Miles. Trialled well and shouldnt be too far off a race start.

By Bling It On, she is a nicely put together filly, friendly with a bit of s***k - just the way a girl should be!

If you want to know more (about her or our other lots), then give us a call or come and see her on farm.

LAVRA CLOE is entered in the currently open Nutrien Equine - Standardbred WINTER WOOLIES SALE.

In foal to THE STORM INSIDE.
Cloe is an easy breeder and if the c**t presented at this year's Nutrien Yearling Sale is anything to go by (sold for $22500, early reports very good) she will leave a cracking type.
