What about the guys?

So how are the foals? Good question!
At the moment they are still separated as the little guy up at the stable didn't have the best start and is just getting stronger and more vivid. We had to get the vet to remove the placenta from Ögn yesterday as it didn't come on it's own. Not so much fun, but he got everything out. Then the little one got diarrhea from his mum's medication, which isn't good in such tiny foals. But he still drank well and seemed to be in good mood. Yesterday when going out for the first time, he didn't follow his mum and seemed disorientated. Had to put the lead around his butt and made him walk with me and his mum to the field that way. As the forecast for the night wasn't too good we put them inside again and on the way back he followed her already better than before. In the morning he seemed not so fresh and quite tired, but I'm not surprised about that as there are other horses in the stable and his mum all the time on the move to protect him from onlookers. We decided to put them out again in the morning and keep them there, not taking them inside in the evening. He followed his mum quite well and when in the field, he tried to jump and run a bit for the first time. You can imagen how relieved we were to see that. 
The older foal is doing very well and after fixing the fence we spent some time down at the field watching mother and son. I'm pretty sure Flugsvinn will be really happy when he's got another foal to play with. He's quite inventive, chews his mum's tail, jumps on her and whilst watching he attacked her from a higher place to make her play. Amazing how patient she is with him.
