Mare Code of Honor:
The mare's secret code of honor is as old as horses themselves and is ultimately the species best kept secret. No mare shall ever produce a foal before it's time.(It's time being determined by the following factors):

1.No foal shall be born until total chaos has been reached by all involved. Your house must be a wreck, your family hungry and desperate for clean clothes, and your social life nonexistent.

2.Midwives must reach the babbling fool status before you foal out. Bloodshot eyes, tangled hair and the inability to form a sentence mean you're getting close.

3.For every bell, beeper, camera or whistle they attach to you, foaling must be delayed by at least one day for each item.

4.Vet check, add a day, internal add three. If you hear the words, "She's nowhere near ready. You'll be fine while I'm away for the weekend," Wait 12 to 16 hours and pop that baby out!

5.Owner stress must be at an all time high! If you are in the care of someone else, ten to fifteen phone calls a day is a sign you're getting close. When you hear the words "I can't take it anymore!" wait three days and produce a foal.

6.You must keep this waiting game interesting. False alarms are necessary! Little teasers such as looking at your stomach, pushing your food around in the bucket and then walking away from it are always good for a rise. Be creative and find new things to do to keep the adrenaline pumping in those who wait.

7.The honor of all horses is now in your hands. Use this time to avenge all of your stable mates. Think about your friend who had to wear that silly costume in front of those people. Hang onto that baby for another day. OH, they made him do tricks too! Three more days seems fair. Late feedings, the dreaded diet, bad haircuts, those awful wormings can also be avenged at this time.

8.If you have fulfilled all of the above and are still not sure when to have this foal, listen to the weather forecast on the radio that has been so generously provided by those who wait. Severe storm warning is what you're waiting for. In the heart of the storm jump into action! The power could go out and you could have the last laugh. You have a good chance of those who wait missing the whole thing while searching for a flashlight that works!

9.Make the most of your interrupted nights. Beg for food each time someone comes into the stable to check you. Your stable mates will love you as the extra goodies fall their way too.

10.Remember, this code of honor was designed to remind man of how truly special horses are. Do your best to reward those who wait with a beautiful filly to carry on the mare code of honor for the next generation of those who wait!

Two days ago, a group of people came together, working as a team... Saving a mare in labor but losing the foal... Today a group of people, working together, the same mare as two days ago, was introduced to a foal who had lost her mom.... This picture is taken an hour after the introduction.... It speaks for itself.

What a stonking c**t!

🌟Update🌟

This giant c**t is thriving and growing by the second.
He is doing remarcably well and he is by far the biggest foal we have ever seen.
His mother, our lovely Katrina has been very poorly and we keep treating her for her infection and its looking like she will recover well from her trauma.
She is a very big, deep bodied mare, so this foal had loads of space for growing.

Now we need your help to name this huge c**t, any suggestions?
His prefix is 'Herkules'.

🌟Also, he will be for sale! 🌟

---------------------------------

Yesterday morning this Shire c**t decided to try to enter this world with only his head first.
We got him and his legs sorted out and here he is.
His mother Warley Katrina (by Moorfield Edward) has been incredibly brave and we hope she will recover well.

This c**t is the biggest foal we have ever seen, pictured at a few hours old.

Great advice - one of my pet hates seeing big bale twine used for tying up, so dangerous

Great advice - one of my pet hates seeing big bale twine used for tying up, so dangerous

DO YOU TIE-UP TO STRING? - BEWARE!

Most people tie their horses to a piece of string attached to the tie ring, so that the horse can break free easily if it is startled. Here we describe the disastrous consequences in three cases where the horse couldn't do so because the string failed to break as it was too thick.

Case 1 - a line of ponies were tied up alongside each other in a riding school. An aggressive dominant pony started kicking the pony next to it, but because the string failed to break allowing it to escape, the attacked pony sustained multiple serious kick wounds

Case 2. - A horse was tied to string attached to the rear ramp of a horse trailer at an event. Something startled it and it struggled to break free. The string failed to break, the horse lost its footing and its legs slid under the trailer sustaining severe injuries.

Case 3 - A horse was tied to the latch of the upper half-door of a stable. It suddenly pulled back. the string failed to break, the door was lifted off its hinges and was dragged by the terrified horse across the yard, damaging several cars and injuring the horse.

CONCLUSION - DON'T use the thick orange, virtually unbreakable, large-bale haylage string shown in the photo UNLESS you have DIVIDED it along its length to half its thickness. The yellow string in the photo shows how thick it should be. It MUST be able to break.

Alternatively you can use a commercial tying system such as the Equi Ping (mixed reports) or the Idolo Tie (very good reports).
