The fillies this morning

05/27/2026

Innishfael Boudica (GM Targaryen x Innishfael Nyx) seems to be thriving. We bucket feed every to to three hours and she seems to be drinking more and more. Here's to progress!!!

PLEASE READ ENTIRE INFO BEFORE GIVING ME ANY ADVICE... Update on our filly born on Thursday. Her dam was a maiden, and although at first she nickered and loved the fily, it soon turned nasty. Vet called, we went through sedation (four times the normal amount) and finally had to twitch the mare for the filly to nurse. Then we milked the mare and made sure the filly got ALL the colostrum. Once that was done, we did the 'love drug' protocol, which is usually hugely successful. Not in this instance. I would hold the mare every few hours so the filly could nurse and kept this up until Friday when more help arrived for me. We tried the love drug protocol again. This time it 'seemed' successful and the mare let the filly nurse normally at least three times as we watched that evening. In the morning, the mare had a huge change of heart and started attacking the filly. I spent another day holding the mare for nursing but did have to separate them. Sunday, a friend arrived with two possible nurse mares. One that had a foal at side, but was known to let other foals nurse from her, and the other had lost a foal recently. We went through the protocols with both and neither would accept the filly. However, at the end of trying, we did try the filly on milk replacer in a bucket and SUCCESS, she drank like a champ. Five days of hardly any sleep, but we got to a point where I think we are going to make it. Now the filly has a buddy in my mini mare, Thelma and things are looking much better! Good thing this is my very last foal... oh and I did try to find goats milk without success so we went with a known milk replacer.

I stayed up all night watching the camera, but Nyx decided that she wanted to foal at a civilized hour. Eight AM a lovely chestnut filly arrived! Sired by GM Targaryen, we are thrilled with this one. Three for three fillies this year!!!!! Great way to end our program. Here is a face that I fell in love with....Innishfael Boudica

Happy Birthday to the Dragon! 22 years of this once in a lifetime horse, I am so very blessed. I had hoped to have a foal announcement as well this morning, but Nyx is still holding out on me.

Updated photos of Tani. Once I am cleared to do more, we will be tying and picking up feet.

Introducing Innishfael Raven (Darqq x Innishfael Aura) two days old and unfolding nicely. I just love how elegant her head is!

So Aura gave up her hostage this morning. She broke my heart by not giving me any spots, but the filly is totally gorgeous and healthy. I got injured yesterday and so this is just a little streak of 'rats!!!'
