It was a sad day in Camelot.
Our 12 yr old mare Alexa had colic after having her foal last week. It got progressively worse overnight. Pete tried all the tricks and even loaded her up for a trailer trip around the block, in the middle of the night, in hopes that the her digestive system would start working. The vet came in the morning and put the mare down.
I’ve only seen a horse cry twice and it was this horse. She had tears in her eyes when her foal died last year and she had tears in her eyes this morning. She knew what was happening, she was a good mother, and let the baby nurse one final time. Being connected to horses can be the best feeling and it can also feel just awful.
Alexa’s daughter Rona had a stud c**t in March. Rona is a spirited 6yr old mare that isn’t the most friendly. We had started weening her foal just the day before, it went quite easily. The young c**t is pretty independent. Rona was rather attached to her mom, Alexa, and they were stalled next to each other.
I felt like Rona needed to see her mom, after she had passed, so maybe she would understand. I led her outback of the arena where the mare had been put down. Rona stomped with her typical sassyness out the back door. When she saw the lifeless mare she spooked. She did that 3’ sideways jump all in one Clydesdale move. She walked over and smelled her mom. Damn this was sad. The vet was watching from a distance in his truck. He probably thought I was crazy. I just felt that she needed to know what happened.
After taking Rona back to her stall, the reality of the situation began setting in. That foal needs to eat. Milk replacer, bottles, round the clock feeding (Pete does this). Or…would that young mare take on this foal? What the heck, let’s try it. I again found myself explaining what was happening, talking out loud to the horse. I told her that I was sorry that she lost her mom but she could give life to this young C**t. This young mare that had always been a handful was calm, she let the C**t nurse. We watched rather shocked. Could this really be that easy? Overnight was a success and the baby stays right by her side and she is just an awesome mother. We really had no idea if she would accept him or not.
Often I think that we don’t give animals enough credit. We assume they don’t get it. They know. They do.

Pete fabricated a heavy duty bracket to mount the new post hole digger on the mini-excavator. He can make most anything.
