Had to share this.

Dh went up to check our ponies last night, he wasnt going to but I had forgotten to ask my dad if he could go up. Dh had come home early to take me to the docs so went up a little earlier than if he had come home normal time.

As he was taking one back to the field, he noticed something in one of the other fields, a mare licking her new born foal. She must have just had it. The owners had only had the mare for 5 weeks and were unaware she was in foal, so they were very shocked when I rang them.

Dh has only been around horses since meeting me and felt very privaliged to see this, he watched as the mare tried to get it to stand and watched its first steps. All the years I have been around horses and all the foals I have looked after I have never seen a foal just born, a few hours after but not just born. I was really jealous as I had asked him to take ds and me but as the doc had told me to rest I had to stay home.
Cant wait to see it in the week.

A true bambii moment.

Aaah! Sadly, very different to my "bambi" moment. Years back I took my young nephew and niece to see the film Bambi. When the hunters shot rang out a little voice a few rows up asked "what's happened?" whereupon my nephew said - very matter of factly - "they've shot his mum". Cue the entire cinema bursting into tears!

Talking of Bambi, does anyone know where I can get hold of a copy of the video (for my SIL's 3yo). She's tried everywhere to no avail, apparently it's not going to be reissued for 10 years! I've looked on Amazon already. If anyone wants to part with their copy (for cash of course) let me know!

my mum had to take me and my sister to see Bambi twice- the second time to see the end of the file after the shooting!

Jodie - there's loads of copies of the Bambi video on Ebay.co.uk at the moment!
