Have you ever seen a newborn foal’s slippers?
Mouse's little c**t just had the last of his when we had cuddles his first morning after birth! 🥹
Aka eponychium or “fairy fingers,” these rubbery slippers protect the mare’s uterus and birth canal from the foal’s hardening hooves during pregnancy and birth! 🦄
Then within just 24–48 hours, they wear away as the foal gets up to start exploring 🥹
Have you ever been lucky enough to see them before they disappear? 👀
