There's a really great picture of her on the MHCO website. Go to www.mhco.ca and click on the 2006 foals page. I think she looks wonderful.

Thanks Debi

Dove is doing great, thanks for asking about her. She is a solid wee girl now, we just came back from the vet's office, where she weighed in at 12.1 kg or 26.6 lbs! (At two days she was 5.2 kg or 11.2 lbs) She is 19.50" tall, (from 15.00" at two days) and continues to be healthy and cheeky! She finally has some teeth, and is on a foal ration and hay, (pulverized hay cubes) as well as her milk replacer. She likes to nibble grass, and can run like the wind when she wants to. She spends more time outside and is very curious, but does not stray far from us. We have five other foals now, and she likes them, but Adah is her favourite friend, and our daughter Jessica has taken a shine to sweet little Adah and will be keeping her, so Dove will always have her favourite buddy here with her. This will make the transition to the barn so much easier.

Dove bucks and runs so fast all over the place when she gets let out, but do you think I can get one good photo of her doing it? She goes so fast that I get great shots of her hind feet or her tail disappearing out of the picture! I will persist till I get some though. :lol:

Sunday is the eight week mark, :aktion033: and when she was born I never thought we would be celebrating her two month birthday! How VERY glad I am to be proven wrong

Here is Dove last weekend, the weather is truly horrid this week, cold rain, wind, and even 3cm of SNOW yesterday!

: I will attempt to get new photos when it warms up again at the end of the week.

Just for comparison...

March 5 - less than 24 hours old, eyes not open yet, and just thin silky fur like baby mouse fur.

April 3 -

and then the above photos were last weekend - April 22/23.

Big congrats to u all for all your hard work with her. What a doll she is. She had to have had a LOT of angels helping her too, I have had several foals born that premature and none made it. She is truely blessed.

Every time I think of that beautiful little filly, I just get this great big :bgrin on my face and my whole day brightens up. You have done wonders with her. It really shows all the

Thank you everyone, and I know that all the prayers everyone said for her, were a big part of her survival!

My heart breaks for everyone who has lost a foal this year, in years past we have known this pain only too well. Dove has encouraged us SO much. She has been more of a blessing to us than she could ever realise!

She is so beautiful. What a difference. It is so great when they overcome such great odds, so sad when they don't. Minis are certainly challenging during foaling season.
