Horses!!!!!!!!

We're good. Spring warm weather came on suddenly and horse's winter fuzz is everywhere. I have two girls from next door come and help with putting them in and feeding and they shed them and brush them too this time of year. Because the winter was extraordinarily long and hard my two oldsters (pony @ 28, quarterback mare@ 29) look a bit sucked in and bony. Hope the grass comes in soon.
 
We have just under an acre and we don't have a use for the pasture, so we let a neighbor use it for two of his horses. One of which hasn't had human contact in like, a year? So she doesn't go near anyone willingly at the moment.

So apparently they told my mother that that horse was pregnant, but she failed to tell me, then forgot about it completely. The horse didn't show her pregnancy, so I had no idea. So when there was a newborn foal in the pasture this morning, you can imagine how surprised I was...





 
They're not my horses, they're just in my pasture, so I can't really do anything with them. I think the owner said colt, but it's not like he could really get close enough to tell. And I don't know what the stud was, she was only put in our pasture about a month or so ago.

I would love to be able to handle the baby, I love horses. But I can't afford to have one myself. I don't know what they plan on doing with the baby, either. They don't really do anything with the two horses they already have, which irritates me to no end. Why have them if you're just going to feed them then ignore them?
