Oh Dear.....
Such a heartbreak....
Perhaps the wet mare could be a nurse mare to an orphan in the area??? I
would ask around, rather than just let her dry up. Put the word out....
We are so darn sorry....

This morning we found Nika's 5 week old foal lying next to the fence with a
broken neck. It looks as if maybe he ran, hit a slick spot and fell. We
are heart broken and so is she. But I need advice on the best way to handle
Nika's milk. Is it best to let it dry up naturally or should I milk off a
little to relieve the pressure? I have heard both ways, but want to hear
from someone who has tried it. this is really different from weaning a foal
because at 5 weeks she was just hitting the peak of milk production.
