Maya and Apples


This is my horse, Maya, and her colt which was Jessica's, Apples. Jess was thrilled to finally have a horse of her own, but her joy was short-lived as the colt only lived 3 days. We don't know what was wrong . Apples seemed a little weak from the start and on his third day here he just really went down. He never nursed good from the beginning. We were going to give Maya a rest and breed her again next year but she had other "plans" and broke out of her pen and went to see our neighbor's stud. This stud is also the father of Apples. So , hopefully we'll have another foal next March. We are hoping for a healthy filly this time.
