Great options for your foaling kit!

🐴🍼 Foaling Kit Essentials: Be Prepared for the Big Day!

Assembling your foaling kit is one of the most important steps to preparing for a smooth and safe delivery for your mare and foal. A well-stocked kit helps you handle routine care and be ready for any emergencies.

Key Items to Include:
🔹 Emergency plan and contact numbers
🔹 Flashlight or headlamp for nighttime foalings
🔹 Thermometer & stethoscope for monitoring vitals
🔹 Baby soap (unscented), paper towels, and tail wrap for cleaning the mare
🔹 Lubricant & gloves for assisting if needed
🔹 Towels for drying the foal
🔹 Umbilical tape and naval dip for umbilical care
🔹 Scissors for emergencies (like red bag delivery)
🔹 E***a in case foal is struggling to pass meconium
🔹 Trash bags to save the placenta for vet evaluation
🔹 Twine & palpation sleeves to keep placenta from dragging on the ground until it fully passes
🔹 Milking supplies to assist foals struggling to latch & suckle

Remember, no two foalings are the same, so having these essentials on hand can make all the difference. Be sure to review your foaling kit with your veterinarian to tailor it to your mare's needs.

THE DREAM THAT MANY WILL NOT UNDERSTAND:
My horse is my personal dream.
One day when I am very old and when I can not walk anymore, it will be in my heart as a trophy of my memories.
I met people who taught me something and have the same spirit and I met others that I'm glad I forgot.
I got wet,
I felt cold,
And I felt warm,
I was afraid,
I fell,
And I stood up,
I even hurt myself, I have been broken,
But also, I laughed out loud inside .
I spoke a thousand times with myself.
I sang and shouted with joy like a madman,
And yes ... sometimes I cried.
I have seen wonderful places and lived unforgettable experiences.
I often made unplanned jumps that even Oliver Skeete would be proud of; other times I made jumps full of terror.
I stopped a thousand times to see a landscape.
I spoke with perfect strangers, and I forgot people I see every day.
I went out with my demons inside and returned home with a feeling of absolute peace in my heart.
I always thought how dangerous it is, knowing that the meaning of courage is to advance even feeling fear.
Every time I go up to my horse I think about how wonderful he is.
I stopped talking about it to those who do not understand, and I learned to communicate with other riders.
I have met some amazing people I now call friends because of my horse.
I spent money that I did not have, giving up many things, but all these things are not worth even one special moment with my horse.
He is not a means of transport or a piece of iron with wheels, it is the lost part of my soul and my spirit.
And when someone says to me: "You have to sell the horse and you have to be a more sensible", ... I do not answer. I just swing my head and smile,
A horse..... only the person who loves them understands it.
May my friends be blessed and all their horses...
And the adventure continues. .
