Finally!! Nursing! And some more comes out of the mare | Friesian Horses

[@syndillucian]

Wunder, once he laid down, looked like he was a little bit sleepy maybe. He is getting much better at standing up and so happy to see him nursing! Saly is such a good mom to him.

[@janineelvin3139]

You can really see Saly’s experience as a Mem come through here - she patiently waits for Wunder to figure it out, staying in the best position for him and even trying to guide him, all while enduring the discomfort of him constantly bumping into her very sore udder! Goedzo, Saly!

❣💯 Yvonne: "Yes! Yes! Yes!" after Wunder starts successfully nursing after Saly pushed out the afterbirth intact showing none left inside. Question: does that expulsion lessen Saly's pain in nursing????

[@virtualselfie6899]

@@sirei01 Makes sense as she did squeal after the expulsion when Wunder tried to nurse; by now, she's doing great. She is a Kroon AA Friesian mare, such great lineage.

[@prarieborn6458]

Yes, the foal nuzzling on the udder stimulates the milk to “let down” and contractions to expel the afterbirth. ...Breast feeding is nature’s way for the mother’s uterus to heal and return to normal much faster than otherwise. So beautiful to watch the love bonding between Saly and Wunder. Saly has such a beautiful look on her face. It is amazing that Friesian mares have rather modest, almost hidden udders, when compared to a cow or goat or sheep, with udders that are large and pendulous. Yet the mares’ milk grows a tiny foal into such a big strong horse. Mares milk must be very rich-like cream?
