Sunday (yesterday) Dally turned 3 weeks old. Usually for the 3 week photoshoot I turn them out in the bigger pasture so I can get action shots, but yesterday was herbicide day so they will be off pasture for at least a week. We used Grazon.
Dally also has foal diarrhea, so I have been catching her every day and giving her 30 cc of Peptobismal.
Jayne should be coming into heat soon and that may have something to do with it, but mostly I think it's because she is grazing quite a bit and her tummy is adjusting to the new diet.
I did catch Dally yesterday without Jayne being caught too- although I did have a halter on Jayne but just threw the lead rope over her back while she ate her grain. Dally pulled away on my first attempt to catch her, but was easy for the second try. She even let me squirt the pepto in her mouth without too much protest.
The other day when Shayla was here, (Friday) she played with Dally a bit, and led her around. We had Jayne tied up.
Then yesterday, Sunday, after treating her, I led Dally out and it went well so I tied Jayne up and led Dally away from her again.
We had a minor protest, but she quickly gave up and followed. Good girl Dally!
This morning it was pouring rain so I took only a few photos.
Just before the rain
Jayne wondering why I am delaying with the delivery of her breakfast
Does that wheelbarrow taste good?
That booty!
Dally is getting muscled up nicely in true Beamer baby style, but still maintains her classy little lady image.
One last photo from Friday!

Nice photos & video. It is great to have a helper. Dally is really coming along!
last photo is the best. :)
What a good baby!
She’s a pretty girl!
You’re smart to teach them to halter so young. We have to administer antibiotics to Epona now, orally, and a trip to the vet, with endoscopy, isn’t going to help her trust us much. Wish us luck.
She’s looking really, really good!!!
Dally that is!
