I took this picture in the afternoon, when her owners wake up in the next morning the foal was born.
First hours were difficult, she was kicking him and didn't let him be closed to her.
Fortunately when her owners were with her she let the foal drinks.
She's around 19 years old and it's her first foal. Just hope things will be better, I read that it happens after the birth and after 1 or 2 days mums become good ones. Let's cross the fingers.
(this horse belongs to friends, I only have news by phone and won't be able to see the new born before 10 days...)
UPDATE: after one day, Isba loves her foal. Everything is OK.
Living between Paris and the countryside, love taking pictures, a lot of pictures...
Publish different ones from this project on my blog.

Wonderful photo, Helene. I hope that Isba has now settled in to the role of being a good mother. It sounds like the little cheval bébé got off to a rough start with his mère.
