Had a foal last week. All went good to start with and then went bad. His Mum decided not to keen on being a Mum. Despite all the efforts of Leigh & Alison Miles (3 nights and days feeding him to keep him alive) things got no better. He got a foster Mum now and the change in him has been unbelievable. All coz of their efforts to keep him alive. And this maybe is where we differ from our thoroughbred counterparts.... we tend to do it all ourselves. They spent 4 days trying to keep a horse alive that may never see a racetrack. Am sure there are many out there that do the same... makes you wonder when you see things like "Trainer fined.. No assessment card". Anyway....

Go Slinky!!!
