We hope for her sake it’s soon…..

POV: You’re home from the equine hospital and suddenly think you’re INVINCIBLE. 💨

Running around like you haven’t already racked up thousands in vet bills in your first 48 hours of life. 🍑💸

Peach, darling… your mother would appreciate a quiet afternoon. 😂

Officially meet Peach! 🍑💛

Yesterday we were planning on properly introducing our newest little member, but our plans changed when Peach’s IgG results came back extremely low.

Peach had what’s known as Failure of Passive Transfer (FPT), meaning she hadn’t absorbed enough vital antibodies from her mother’s colostrum in those crucial first hours of life. She appeared to be ticking all her boxes, no obvious concerns.

This can happen for several reasons, including delayed feeding, poor colostrum quality or inadequate antibody absorption.

Thankfully, this is something we can test for and treat! Plasma transfusions provide antibodies directly into the bloodstream, giving vulnerable foals the protection they need. And successfull treatment means they continue to grow and develop as any other healthy foal. No future complications.

Our little firecracker received just one bag of plasma, and her IgG made an incredible jump to over 1000! An amazing response, successfully correcting her antibody deficiency. 🥹
She’s now home, healthy, feeding beautifully and absolutely full of life! 🍑

It’s a great reminder of just how important neonatal IgG testing, proactive veterinary care and early intervention are. Even when a foal appears perfectly healthy, you can’t always see what’s happening beneath the surface.

A huge thank you to Naomi, Sharanne and the team for their incredible care, knowledge and time. We’re so grateful to have such wonderful vets looking after our horses. 💛

It’s been a beautiful morning here at Marigold Park! 🌸✨
If you’ve been following our stories, you’ll know that Cleo has finally welcomed her much-anticipated foal!

A gorgeous palomino filly! 💛

She’s as cute as a button, with the prettiest little face, just like her mumma.

So far, they’re ticking all the right boxes, hitting those important milestones and thankfully, have had minimal complications.

After the worries surrounding Cleo’s placentitis, it’s such a relief to have her girl here, healthy and doing well.
We’re feeling very grateful this morning. More pics to follow as she dries off and unfolds!

Poor Dottie is well and truly in the uncomfortable stage now! 🥹
She gets so big in those final few weeks, and with the recent warm, humid weather, you can definitely tell she’s ready to get this baby out! 🐴🤍
For now, it’s lots of scratches, back rubs and a little extra TLC to help ease the aches and pains for our girl. Not long now, Dottie! 🥰

First positive for the season — and a very exciting one at that! 🥹🤍

After losing her 2025 foal midway through pregnancy due to a birth defect, followed by a horrendous breeding season with strange cycles and unhealthy ovulations. We pulled out all the stops and just couldn’t get her in foal.

This year, we decided to try again… just one last time and first go, she’s in foal! 🥹✨

It feels extra special to finally see that little blob after everything we’ve been through with this mare. A positive 😉 start to the season.

Really in the final stretch now for Cleo — she’s officially hit her due date! 🥹🐴

We noticed a few mild signs this week that had us concerned about possible placentitis, so we had her checked over. Thankfully, her foal is looking happy, healthy and very active, with no signs of placental issues. Symptoms are looking much better after a course of antibiotics.

Now we wait for her to do her thing..
So is it going to be Buckskin or Palomino..??

Bit of a tidy up for the girls and moved up closer to the house while we wait for these babies
