Don't want to be the alarmist here .. and please don't take offense to this. but get that freaking oversized nylon halter off that baby !! She's too cute to break a neck or a leg. that is one of the most dangerous things I've seen in a long time. Please get a soft leather fitted foal halter for her. Nylon won't break if a leg gets stuck in it or if it gets caught on something, leather will.

Very very adorable baby

lol, thax Bondama!!

and JR, i do realize that the halter is WAY WAY too big, but it was her first trip outside and it was her first haltering lesson, we were there the whole time, she wasnt unsupervised, we dont leave any horses with a halter on in the pasture, we were just out for a stroll!!

thought there was too many pics, deleted some!!

so will she stay sorrel?? i am assuming

Yes, cute baby out of what looks to be a nice sturdy mare.
IF I was going to mention any hazards, it would be the bolts in the stall that stick out. They need to be cut off or add a piece of wood so the bolts are totally covered. I commend yall on trying to windproof some of the stall with the rubber but please do something about those bolts.
Glad to hear she is coming along nicely.

Ok, story time...

When dealing with one of the first foals I'd come into contact with, I had the leadline thrust into my hand. By this time I'd been around horses for over 10 years, but never handled foals. So, I'm just holding the leadline of this weanling as he grazed. I'm perfectly capable of anchoring a bolting foal, not a problem, so I figure.. no problem. All of a sudden the foal is hopping about and had managed to get his leg hung up in the lead line. (remember, I didn't hook him up, I was simply holding him) His owner, also a first time foal owner, and her guru had looped a chain lead through the bottom ring of the halter. The foal had his leg stuck the whole way through. There were at least 4 experienced horse people around when this happened.. yet, supervised or not, it still happened. Luckily, the only non horse person around was a strong man. He wrestled the foal to the ground and unhooked the halter before the foal broke his leg. It took a long time for me to EVER want to go near a foal again I felt incredibly guilty even though it wasn't my fault.

I also know that no matter how foal proof you *think* you have a place, those little boogers can get hurt on the strangest things. Plastic bubbles for them all !! I can't wait to see pics of this one as she grows Smile
