Foaling season, calving season, breeding season coming up, icy weather, plus some very real detours into snakes, donkeys, and some truly unhinged donkey lore. 🐮🫏🐍 We also talk about how many foals a mare can have, what it’s like foaling out for the first time, how weaning calves works, and how I figure out feed plans for the horses. And yes, we definitely brainstorm a much more dramatic foal alert system that probably needs to exist. 🔔🔥 If you’ve been hanging out on the live streams, thank you for keeping us entertained and awake. I appreciate y’all more than you know. ❤️ Shop Running Springs merch 🛍️ https://katievanslyke.net/ Chapters 00:00 Welcome 02:00 Foal Watch 06:30 My Dad's Crazy Pet 09:45 How Many Foals Can a Mare Have? 23:10 Chatter Happy Ponies 29:30 Can Donkeys Colic? 36:30 Question for Buck! 43:00 That's All Folks #KatieVanSlyke #KatchingUpWithKatie #foalingseason #foalwatch #horse #horses #mare #foal #miniaturehorse #minihorses #donkeys #farm #farmlife #calvingseason #cows #runningsprings #horsebreeding #equestrian #countrylife #homestead ▶Check out my new merch: https://katievanslyke.net/collections/new ▶▶DIGITAL DOWNLOADS: https://katievanslyke.net/collections/digital-downloads ▶▶▶Connect With Me!
