I am so glad to hear that he is doing well, how about the name "Dude" for around the stables if he is independent?
I would be really careful leaving Saffire for the next for days, I missed a birth last year cos I was making lunch for the kids and I was only gone for about 30-40 minutes (luckily all went well) but she foaled out in the pouring rain and the foal got a bit cold and wet which gave him a few problems but he soon got over them.
Can you give a shopping list to hubby or someone?
