Horse Story Part Two

So...my friend got home and went to go check on her horses. On her way, she almost tripped over the afterbirth, so she knew the birth had happened. However...there was a problem! The two adult horses were mother and and daughter...and the new grandma had decided that the foal was hers...no ifs, ands, or buts about it! The real mom was, understandably, very upset. My friend had to get past the upset real momma horse to separate the foal from its well meaning grandma...who could get aggressive when angry. And...seeing as how she claimed the foal, she fully believed that my friend was stealing her baby! It all worked out in the end, with the two adult horses being separated, and the foal being put with his real mom...and finally getting the milk he needed! What a day!
