    Welcome to my Friesian Horses channel.
    My name is Yvonne. I create and post videos about my daily life with Friesian Horses. I will show you the true Friesian Horse and what they are like: day to day care, training, riding dressage and the very special birthing of foals. I explain the facts about breeding Friesian Horses and the steps I take to help better the breed.
    You will learn that Friesian Horses have a naturally high gait, whether or not they can jump, if they are good for beginners and what they eat.
    You will see them running, trotting, playing and even fighting.
    I show you every aspect of my life with horses; the beautiful and the not so pretty. What you see in my videos is real!
    Did you know that the Friesian Horse originates from Holland, specifically Friesland? That is where I live! I hope Friesian Horses will be love at first sight for you.

    Mod Yvonne made this message for me (oops) and you:
    At 3:00 Yvonne meant to say "Coralle had a foal in 2019"
    The scientific name for a Dummy foal is Neonatal Maladjustment Syndrome (NMS)
    Due to certain hormones, foals are in a sleeping state during pregnancy. As a result, for example, they are not mobile and cannot harm the mare. During birth, and especially due to the pressure in the birth canal, the hormone composition changes and the foal is active soon after birth to stand up and look for the udder.
    In a dummy foal, the 'sleep hormone' is still present in a high concentration and it therefore wanders around in a very dazed state. Dummy foals are also called ‘wanderers’ for that reason. There is no urge to look for the udder and the sucking reflex has not yet been activated. Belle was not actually 'awake' yet🧡
    MOD🌷

      I am not receiving replies sometimes, but can you perhaps tell Yvonne maybe for future emergencies, if the chance to get some extra colostrum shows up, it can be frozen to give to foals in the future? I've heard of them doing this with Sheep Colostrum. Then its a bit safer than trying to milk the mare who may not be happy with a human so close.

      I saw another channel with this. They did a trick to try to reproduce the birth canal by wrapping a band around the chest of the foal and suddenly releasing it. On the third try it worked. Apparently it can happen with calves too. I have been around cattle my whole life and had not heard of it. So very glad that Coralle is such a brilliant mem! And Yvonne was so patient and diligent. Amazing!

    Coralle wasn't used to being touched when she first came to your barn. But you got her used to having you close, which was wonderful as she didn't panic and attack you when you handled Belle. Mares can be so protective of their foals and you were there in a crowded box between Coralle and her foal. It was as if she knew something was wrong and you were there to help. Amazing work you did.

    Once a dummy foal does get a sleep, it's like it realizes it's born now, and "reboots". When they first get up, they can't lay down, so getting them down to rest is the hard part. Especially because they 'wander'.

      Right? It's been a long time since she had a foal if it was in 2019 and she was already looking for it when she was in labour and passed a hoof. She's a much calmer mother than many of the friesians we've seen who move around or have sore udders so have a hard time letting the foal latch the first time. Corralle was doing everything she could to help, even letting a human milk her and wrestle her baby, she seemed to understand.

    Never been so happy to see and hear this filly singing her nursing song guzzling away at the milk bar what a beautiful joy filled noise. Belle is a survivor and I know Coralle must be relieved to finally feel her little one drinking under her at last. Now for nap time it’s really hard work being so small AND not quite understanding how to nurse whew I don’t blame her after all this I feel like sleeping too!!🤭🖤🐎 You’ve earned that rest Yvonne at least 48 hours worth bc you gave this little girl your all.

She definitely made up for lost time and when she couldn't nurse anymore, laid down and took a well deserved nap! I could hear all the sighs of relief out in cyber world, even tho Yvonne had told us previously that all was well. Goedzo Yvonne, Bauke, Coralle and especially Belle Uniek ❤️❤️❤️

    I was surprised by “dummy foal.” I had never heard that before. If someone had told me that Yvonne could work with Belle so closely, I’d probably been skeptical because Coralle would be too protective. And Yvonne, you worked so hard to show Belle how to suckle, for so many hours. Your dedication to her was selfless and kind. So happy for you that it worked. Love in the barn. Coralle, Uniek, and Yvonne.

      I've heard of it before but never seen it. Apparently it's not really a thing for us humans or dogs and cats. But animals like horses, cattle, sheep etc must lie very still when they are inside their mothers or they will cause a miscarriage. Human babies will wake up, stretch, kick, etc, but foals do not. They have a hormone that keeps them asleep and still until they are born. If something goes wrong in the birthing process the hormone doesn't shut down soon enough and they are dazed after being born

    What a long, exhausting night and morning for the moms! Thank goodness Coralle became less reactive toward Yvonne as time passed. Yvonne, you showed your love in not giving up until Belle awoke from her hormone induced “sleep.” You saved Belle’s life. I had never heard of NMS before, and I think calling it a “sleeping foal” or “sleepwalking foal” is a much more accurate term for this condition, as “dummy” connotes a lack of intelligence. Obviously, suffering from a hormone induced sleep state is entirely separate from instinctual and mental capacity. Belle has every chance at a full life now!💜
