Kitty is huge! No wonder she's crabby.

I am too and yes Heather if the "armchair " horse breeders can get a little impatient you can do it more because you have to deal with it close up. Decice what interventions if any to take, How far to push checking her and just put up with looking after them all.And yes I love chiquit6a's antics. Watched her and he mom (suddenly young again) run the first day they got to go out into the bigger fence.

I'm just thoroughly enjoying watching little Chiquita 'The roving Dervish' fly around on those new little legs of hers. Especially when she furiously digs at something like a Jack Russel, then jumps straight up and flys away at top speed.

I am.  Can I put my hand up and stomp my foot?  LOL  she is getting increasingly miserable.  Good grief.  Checking her is doable but not easy.

Is anyone else getting impatient to see what ms Kitty is holding on to???

How is Kitty coming along? Sorry I haven't checked in for a few days.  Just started a new job with much earlier hours. I am still adjusting my sleep schedule.

Last night baby was running, rearing, bucking and then in to nurse. Temp didn't deny her at all and didn't get upset when baby was out of her sight. Baby is a little rough at the nursing department so Mom is justified in nipping babys back legs. I think Temptation and her baby are very similar in temperment, both strong, both really good looking, 2 divas in a stall makes things exciting. Your right Heather Chiquita gets all she needs then runs away to play.

It's actually not unusual in our experience.  Chiquita nurses often - in spurts and then takes her time and gets a good nursing in.  If she was lacking, she wouldn't be so active.  We're very pleased with the bonding and Temptation finally settling into mommy mode.  She's a first time mom and is still learning.

Yes, it sure looks like a strange relationship, especially with the foal being so young.

And looky now...Mom and baby are lying in the stall together... they sure have a strange relationship. Mommy dearest, indeed. very good, Tracy..
