September.at B & C Equine Rescue.

We waited and waited and waited some more. I was waiting at home for a call that would alert us to the birth of
Fionas foal. Then September 10th around 9 pm this hopeful yet sobering message that Fiona was sweating and
walking in circles. There wasn't much time left for those that had predicted September 10th as the foal s birth
date. Guessing the date and time of Fionas foal had been a fun and an irritating activity because there just wasn't
any script to go by and Fiona wasn't saying a thing! Midnight came and went, then it was September 11th. I gave
in for the need of sleep and headed home leaving several of my volunteer friends to watch the delivery and excite-
ment. It wasn't very long when the ding on my phone told me there was some kind of news and yup, it was

was changed several months ago by the then owner. However
since it was the responsibility of the then owner to provide
feed and care, that did not happen. Cooper was abandoned
by his owner and left to fend for himself. The situation was
reported to the owner of the property and Brenda was con-
tacted. The property owner assumed responsibility and asked
if Brenda could adopt him. He is very thin, feet overgrown
and full of thrush, and lame.
He came to the rescue July 29th and is undergoing the care he
needs to recover. His feet have been trimmed and on Sunday,
