WATCH: 'She's been a very good mum and she's looking well' – latest update on Annie Mc and her Doctor Dino foal
Martin Grassick [Stud Director] has been delighted with how Annie has reacted since giving birth for the first time earlier this year, and in the past couple of months her and her foal have been going through the typical weaning process. This is essentially when the foal starts to become more independent, using Annie less and less for nutrition and also from a social perspective as well.
There are many foals at Carisbrooke Stud, so our Doctor Dino colt has been spending plenty of time with them in the field. It's a fairly relaxed time as a foal grows into a yearling, and for the most part this is all they're doing as they continue to develop physically and mentally.
Tune in to see Annie and our foal in action with the snow falling down on Martin and Coral Ambassador Chris Hughes as they brave the frosty conditions for our latest behind the scenes exclusive.
