Each year foals are being saved using this technique. We have used it many times through the years and it truly is a miracle to witness. All mare owners should watch the video and know how to do this procedure when needed.

Neonatal Maladjustment Syndrome AKA “dummy foal syndrome” occurs in 3- 5% of live foal births. These foals fail to recognize their mares and have no interest in nursing. They often require round the clock intensive care to keep them alive (feeding tube, IV fluids) until they begin nursing on their own. The Madigan Foal Squeeze shown here is a technique developed to reenact the birthing process by applying pressure to the rib cage using ropes. The squeeze triggers biochemical changes in the central nervous system that are critical for transitioning the foal from being asleep in the uterus to awake and conscious at birth. The pressure around their torso causes the foal to go into a sound sleep and the squeeze is held for approximately 20 minutes. Once finished, pressure is released and the foal will awaken themselves. Our goal is they search for their mother and are stimulated to nurse.

MILLIONAIRE DAPPER DUDE TO RETIRE AFTER FRIDAY’S RACE AT THE MEADOWS, ENTER STUD

By Evan Pattak for The Meadows Standardbred Owners Association (Chris Gooden photo)

WASHINGTON, PA, Dec. 10, 2020 — He’s banked nearly $1.4 million, and he could out-tough almost every opponent he ever faced. But that old warhorse Father Time proved even more persistent, so after his start Friday at The Meadows, 11-year-old Dapper Dude will retire from racing and launch the next phase of his glorious career at stud.

Dapper Dude leaves from post 2, race 6, with his favorite driver, Aaron Merriman, in the sulky.

In his recent starts, the son of The Panderosa-Dressed To Suggest has looked nothing like his old self, drifting through the class ranks and bottoming out in low-end conditioned races. His trainer, Tim Twaddle, said it’s painfully clear to him that retirement is Dapper Dude’s best option.

“He still tries hard but doesn’t have it like he should,” Twaddle confirmed. “I don’t want to prolong the obvious.”

He indicated that Dapper Dude would stand at Harris Paint Horses & Stallion Station in Federalsburg, MD and that David Cohen’s Micki Rae Stables would continue to own him.

Hall of Famer Bob McIntosh and his cousin, Al McIntosh, bred Dapper Dude and campaigned him during his freshman and sophomore seasons. They knew early on they had something special.

“He comes from a great family, and you couldn’t draw a better-looking horse,” Bob McIntosh said. “He was tough as an army boot, and he wore well.”

At 3, the handsome chestnut finished third in the North America Cup final, and he bested the redoubtable Sweet Lou in the Pennsylvania Sires Stakes championship.

Dapper Dude subsequently was sold several times; for each new owner, he showed that same speed and grit — despite multiple throat surgeries. In many of his races at The Meadows, he looked so weary into the final turn that it appeared only an oxygen tank could get him home. But when a rival looked him the eye, he found more and usually prevailed. To Merriman, that determination is what marks him as a champion.

“He exudes such class,” Merriman said. “I don’t know how many times he seemed defeated yet came back in the stretch to win or improve his position. He knew where the money was. When you consider that he suffered with breathing problems his whole life, it’s amazing that he accomplished what he did.”

Dapper Dude’s exuberance is as noteworthy as his toughness. Bill Bercury, who trained him for Renee Bercury for most of his time at The Meadows, notes that the horse is “loaded with personality.”

“When you took him off the trailer,” Bercury says, “he would start bellowing, letting everybody know he was there, as if to say, ‘I am here. I am ready. Watch out.’ Then he’d strut into the ship-in barn.”

Harris Paint Horses & Stallion Station has a short list of Standardbred stallions, so Dapper Dude has a chance to make an immediate impact. Twaddle said he plans to acquire some broodmares to send to Dapper Dude to get him off to a good start.

“I was looking at his win pictures the other night, and every single one of them was by a head, a nose, a neck,” Twaddle said. “He never ran off, just did whatever was necessary to beat them down. If he can pass along that trait, he’ll make a lot of people happy.”

With foaling season upon us, this is a procedure all foaling managers should be aware of. We have used it many times and it works!

You may know the term "dummy foal" but have you heard of a Madigan Foal Squeeze? Dr. John Madigan theorized that by artificially recreating the foal being squeezed through the birth canal, the foal starts suckling as normal and the 'dummy foal' syndrome appears to disappear. (Be sure to watch the video links below. Know the signs and learn the step by step foal squeeze procedure.)
