Tears For Baby

Sunday was no day of rest. The wrap on Filly's right front leg had slid just enough that she was able to step on it & trip. As she fell, the splint on the left front leg popped off. All wraps had to be removed so they could be redone. It was so heart wrenching to see that beautiful filly yet again worse than the day before. Her poor little left leg was now completely walking on the front of the fetlock. So many tears were shed at the thought of losing such a precious little miracle. With a lot of help from Dancing Winds, CMK held the filly while Dancing Winds redid the wraps & splint. Once again Filly was up on her feet, trying to take her world by storm. She was trying to do all the things normal babies do, like run & buck & jump on Mama. She certainly knows that when her splint & wraps are in place, she has a new freedom that walking on her fetlock doesn't allow. Poor sweet baby.





Mama never ceases to amaze with her gentle spirit. While her darling filly was laying down getting her legs her wrapped & splinted, Mama stood over & kept softly nickering. It's obvious she knows that humans are doing everything possible to save her baby. It's so sad to see a mama mare watch over her struggling foal. Sunday was the lowest of lows, the hardest day yet.

Our thoughts and prayers are with CMK since distance keeps us from being there.
