That evil mommy.... by kathyo

That evil mommy....

We introduced the two mares and their foals. Phoenix, the older colt, was very curious about Echo, the young filly. He kept sneaking over to see her, but her mom, Tonka is not ready yet to let him close. To be honest, Echo was not interested in playing and at her age is still happier being with her mom.
Great catch. Mama's are very protective.

Wow! What a great action shot! A mom has to do what a mom has to do! :)

I've also heard the phrase protective as a Mama Bear, but this image makes me feel that bears have nothing on Mama Horse!
Great capture!

Great capture! It always surprises me how the sweetest mares can become such angry horses once the have a little one to care for but I guess that's what makes them such great mothers.

Poor Phoenix. I'm sure they'll be playing together soon.

@sjwyatt30 @luvmynynix @3rdxoff @pum71 @dh @linah This is Tonka's second foal...I am sure she will relax. The two mares get along fine....Echo honestly didn't seem too interested in Phoenix. She is two weeks younger. Thanks for all your comments.

@windridge Thank you :)

Haha, brilliant capture! I guess Tonka thinks her little girl is too young to be courting boys, yet. :P A fave for me.

@herecirm Everything is fine now....moms are friends again....and while the babies aren't too interested in each other, there is no more ear pinning and teeth baring..... :)

Kathy, you are getting a little behind in your project :) I'm only mentioning since you are my friend ... and you inspired me to start mine.

I am getting behind. Been out interviewing new barns...things are happening here that put my horse at risk and the owner is not addressing my concerns. I need to get refocused. Thanks Linda...I am so impressed with what you have been doing.....:)
