I had the rare joy of seeing Mouse’s bay filly foal born late on Friday night, a text book birth. The vet popped around at the news (he lives just up the road and, after all, he had created this moment in a certain way, eleven and a half months previously….)

Everything looked so perfect. Mouse was quite transformed and so good with her foal. Not a muscle moving as the foal fumbled around trying to sort out standing and then feeding.

We tiptoed away to watch on a monitor until the foal was feeding, finally going home at c.2am
