Tasandra folede 11 april et hingsteføl efter Bon Courage, et føl vi havde glædes os til, desværre var han ikke udviklet korrekt, meget deforme forben, stort overbid, hovedet var skævt og opførslen var ikke normalt for et føl, derfor valgte vi d. 13 april at aflive føllet

Sidste føl var Zantanas, han kom 3 maj, kl 4.00 gik alarmen og kort tid efter stod det klar at der var noget galt, med kæmpe hjælp fra vores nabo og samarbejds partner Hanne Brebøl Thorsen og vagthavende dyrlæge fra Højgård Hesteklinik kæmpede vi en kamp for at få føllet ud, efter 4 timer kom han ud og i live, vi kunne se på Zantana hun var træt og helt forståeligt men en ½ time efter føllet var ude kunne vi se der var noget helt galt, formodentlig et sprængt blodkar og hun døde mellem hænderene på os, føllet fik sin råmælk og der blev hentet mælkeerstatning, han slugte det i sig og vi var begyndt at overveje ammehoppe, kunne vi bruge Tasandra ? hun var ikke afvisende over for ham, omkring middag fik han en lille udposning og på kort tid blev den enorm, dyrlægen kom igen og her var lyskebrokken sprunget og føllet blev aflive i rekort fart.

Et kæmpe tab for os og vi håber aldrig vi skal prøve det igen, at miste føl er træls, men når en så værdifuld hoppe som Zantana dør, går der bare længe før man igen syntes en tur ned af staldgangen er hyggelig.

Vi har da heldigvis Safina fra 2024 som udvikler sig meget godt og hende ser vi frem til at sætte i avlen i 2027 

** Tasandra foaled a colt by Bon Courage on April 11, a foal we were looking forward to, unfortunately he was not developed correctly, very deformed front legs, large overbite, his head was crooked and his behavior was not normal for a foal, which is why we chose to. April 13 to euthanize the foal

The last foal was Zantanas, he arrived on May 3, at 4:00 the alarm went off and shortly after it was clear that something was wrong, with great help from our neighbor and collaborator Hanne Brebøl Thorsen and the veterinarian on duty from Højgård Hesteklinik we fought a battle to get the foal out, after 4 hours he came out and alive, we could see Zantana she was tired and completely understandable but half an hour after the foal was out we could see something was completely wrong, probably a burst blood vessel and she died between our hands, the foal got its colostrum and milk replacer was brought in, he swallowed it and we had started to consider nursing a mare, could we use Tasandra? she was not dismissive of him, around noon he got a small hernia and in a short time it became enormous, the veterinarian came again and here the inguinal hernia had burst and the foal was euthanized in record time.

A huge loss for us and we hope we never have to try it again, losing a foal is hard, but when a mare as valuable as Zantana dies, it's just a long time before you find a walk down the stable aisle pleasant again.

Fortunately, we have Safina from 2024 who is developing very well and we look forward to putting her into breeding in 2027.
