Beautiful Foals

Baby horses or foals as they are correctly known as, have to be the cutest, most gorgeous creature's in the whole animal kingdom...or is it just because I am a horse lover...Their cheeky curiousity, gawkiness, fearlessness and always exploring everything attitude, has a charm all of it's own...

foals-are-so-gorgeous Have you noticed how quickly a newborn foal seems to be able to stand up?...It's usually within an hour they're wobbling about, while their mother starts to lick them all over...and almost immediately they start searching for their mothers teats to feed...

Dad says it's a survival instinct that motivates them to drink, as they need the essential antibodies, which is in the colostrum, or mother's milk...

In the wild a newborn has to be ready as soon as possible, in case a wild animal threaten's them and they have to run away fast...Even though horses have been domesticated a long time, they still have the same instincts as a wild horse...

My first pony had a baby...She was so beautiful....I think she thought she was my sister, because she followed me everywhere...even in the house, till dad made a gate...I want to create a photo gallery of beautiful baby horses...

You can help me if you like...Why not send me a picture of your favourite foal
