Desparate prayers needed~

We found foal meconium and foal foot prints in the round pen.... She has delivered and is gone with her baby.... at least the foal was up and walking ...... we live in the woods. There are lits of dogs. Our little dachshund Gus may have run them some... he is our yard dog and if horses run he chases..... Now she is hiding the baby I think....... God PLEASE bring them home!

When my quater/appy mare got out because the neighbor kids were playing on my stock ramp and left the gate open. I asked everyone on the street and everyone said they had not seen her. Fact was the neighbor that was related to the owners of the house I was renting had sent her to animal control. thing was when I called animal control they didn't have the horse on site so they said they did not have her. She was at a livestock collection facility. It also rained and my mare had never been out in the rain. Let alone the mud she was knee deep in. My prayers are with you that you find her soon. Maybe if the dog ran her off she will come back to be fed.

the stool was still sticky on the bottom and the prints are clean in the dust...hoping that she somehow did this and is just waiting in the woods not coming out. She wont come to anyone but me, she isnt wearing her halter, we always took it off so she wouldnt get caught on the pins of the pen. What must have happened is she stuck her head through to scratch, flung her head up and un attached the panel. Gus was in the yard so he didnt follow or if he did he came back. We didnt find afterbirth but, Gus may have carried that off. The baby was definitely up and walking the way the prints are......... We have called the police and animal control and there have been no reports so far. We drove the roads to see if she had been up there on the road but we didnt find her. I can only pray that God convinces her to come home to eat. We have the only horses for several miles. Im exhausted but cant go to bed thats for sure.

OMG Lyn - I am so sorry that this has happened. I am praying so hard that you find her tonight and that everything is OK. This is such a nightmare - and a horse owners worst fear.

Please let us know when you have some news.

OMG Lyn, I am praying very hard that Bailey comes home soon. Set out some grain for her, maybe if she's close by, she'll smell it.

A police man just left and said he would keep his eyes out for a mare and foal..... animal control will be in at 8.... nothing will be done tonight. I am sitting outside hoping they will come home or at least that they are both ok and near by. I hear dogs bark every once in a while but nothing so far. Im so tired been up since 4 am this am driving back from florida....

 

[SunQuest]

I am saying a prayer for you, Bailey, and the foal. May she come home safe and sound with the little one.

Lyn, I sure hope you find them soon. As long as nothing chased them I would be they aren't too far away--would bet Bailey is hiding in the woods, keeping her new baby away from everyone.

Is your round pen foal proof? If not, most likely the foal got under the rails & Bailey had a fit trying to get to him/her, and that's how the pen came down. Have seen that happen before. Once she was out, with the new foal at side she wouldn't hang around by the other horses.

She will turn up in the morning. I'm sure of it...and offering prayers & positive thoughts that it will be so!

 

[susanne]

I keep coming back to check on Bailey and her foal...

...but Lyn, I'm also worried about you.I know you'll be out there all night, but it won't do her any good for you to get sick, so bundle up, watch you blood sugar and blood pressure, and keep calm.

 

[sedeh]

I'm adding my prayers for Bailey's safe return.
