"Can't you wait to take a picture til Mom finishes washing my butt?" He's a cute little guy who will likely be a great jumper like Dad. Congratulations.

Oh no! I'm so very sorry to hear about your mare.  Sending jingles for her lovely colt, I hope he adapts well to life without mom.

I am so sorry to hear of the loss of such a good mare. Your colt looks like a sturdy little guy, but it's got to be stressful on him to lose his Mom at such a tender age. I pray you can find a nurse mare for him.

Oh Carol - I just got home and saw this. I am so so horribly sorry. Was the colic from displacing her colon? It is so tragic and scary. Jingles from FL for your beautiful colt. I'll send you the link of the milk replacer that my filly liked the best last year (she turned up her nose at the other brands but wolfed this one down). It is in a black/red bag that has goats, cows and horses on it.. can't remember the name though. I'll look in a little bit. Wish I was closer to help you out.

Oh, Carol, I just saw this. I can't tell you how sorry i am about Mädchen. What an awful loss!
Froe is a wonderful mare, but you might want to consider a nurse mare. www.cyberfoal.com (this one's a registry), and http://www.ctba.com/nursemarenbank.htm.
If Dynamit foals soon, you may want to try rubbing the placenta or other birth materials on Domingo, and she may very well accept him to nurse as well.
Domingo is beautiful, btw, and looks very sturdy and solid.

Bless his heart - glad to hear he is doing well Carol. Was the blanket his mom's? or did she ever have it on so maybe her smell is on it??

OMG, I LOFF him. 
What a big boy (both maturity & size-wise) he is. After a rough start, he seems to be quite happy with his doting human mommy. Texas-sized {{Hugs}} to the little man.

Ugggg... I hate colic, and I esp hate those type of colics where you just can't do anything - I feel so helpless. He looks like he is just a trooper about it - you're prob right that he just doesn't realise that this is not the way it is supposed to be.
Big hugs to you and Domingo both.
