We lost Juniper's very first foal, at 9 weeks. And it hit hard, she was a wonderful little thing. The vet tried hard to save her, but we lost her anyway. The necropsy showed a perfectly healthy foal. But she colicked and colicked bad. It is a mystery to me. I don't know what part of the country you are in, but a good friend of mine in New York just lost her pregnant mare quickly and unexpectedly. They are still a little confused about what killed her, but are leaning towards botulism. Apparently horses on the east coast get it a lot more frequently than on the west coast.
