He Is Down! Emergency Vet Call! // Versatile Horsemanship

On June 24th, 2019 we found our 6 week old foal down and unable to get up. An emergency vet call was a must. In this video you'll see what happened when the vet arrives. Stay tuned for more updates about Manzer the colt!

[@fairday2]

Thanks, but I already found your yt page and watched them. Manzer is really growing! I am glad that you never gave up finding out the problem and caring for him. He and his mother are beautiful; and I know the pain and worry involved in caring for sick baby animals. I am glad your's was a happy ending. :)

[@bethandmia6881]

Poor you hope he is ok

[@lisapierson8653]

Brandy don't be mad at yourself, you didn't do anything wrong. Please you are one of the most caring horse owner's I have ever seen It isn't your fault.

[@kingdomfreedom8323]

Yes a most diligant, caring owner. Its just hard sometimes, multiple animals to share our attention plus life in general, so much a handful to keep up in take care of.., we second guess ourselves alot. We have to try take pause and look and listen to our hearts, an instinct guiding us rough turns all not as it should be. Glad everything is ok..happiest little guy on the mend.

[@rcrow2011]

Your tears were breaking my heart 😢😢😢

[@VersatileHorsemanship]

Thank you for following the journey

[@markrumfola9833]

Hard to watch but very kind to share.

[@VersatileHorsemanship]

thank you

[@raraavis7782]

What a relief! Even with knowing, he was going to come out of it ok...it’s still heartbreaking to watch him suffer. Little snugglebug.

[@VersatileHorsemanship]

It was horrible. He is such a sweetheart and so innocent, I felt completely helpless while I was waiting for the vet

[@michellecaudle6870]

I know he made a full recovery, but this was hard to watch poor little guy.

[@VersatileHorsemanship]

It was hard for me to edit.

[@wind571evergreen]

Remembering you talking about how he is your most expensive horse I knew a video or more were coming but my tears fell just the same and agree with so many of the comments. To see him twitch and you in tears....I was in tears. I knew what you were fearing and we all at sometime blame ourselves about our furbabies. He is such a special gift and perfect. My heart is always with you...Love and Prayers for continued healing. 🐴💙🐎🐎🐎💙🐴

[@VersatileHorsemanship]

Thank you for the kind words

[@susanfurnish4132]

He's had several things to overcome.....PLEASE, SWEET OWNER! Don't beat yourself up over this!

[@VersatileHorsemanship]

thank you

[@melissawalker3874]

I burst into tears when he looked like he was having a seizure in the first minute. Amazing how much you fall in love with animals. I thought same as you, so glad Manzer didn't need to say good bye.

[@hannahpumpkins4359]

I had terrible pain from my ulcers - so bad I couldn't stand up. Those meds they're giving him are really the same they give to people - the same I take, and they work really really great!

[@laurashipp447]

Manzer will never forget the tender loving care that you showed him when he was hurting!! I enjoy your channel and one reason is because you truly love, honor and care for ALL your animals!! Blessings!

[@veganwitch13]

Lets hope it was just a pinched nerve or something like that. Poor baby, hope he is better since

[@samanthasowell6350]

You called the vet. They said he looked good. What could you see that a vet couldn't? Nothing. You're doing fine. The kids get sick and scare you to death and break your heart. It's in their job description. I'm pretty sure they really emphasize that duty before they send them on down to us. LOL you're good.... he's good.... we're all good!

[@VersatileHorsemanship]

thank you

[@blaisearwyn3405]

From someone who's been there, if you need to continue with ulcer medication for a long period ask your vet for the generic Omeprazole. Its the active ingredient and so much less expensive than the name brand. Rooting for you & Manzer!

[@Rebelgirl-kv6bd]

OMG this is so heartbreaking to watch 😢😢😢😢!! I've been following since Nika was pregnant for him!!

[@VersatileHorsemanship]

My husband changed his clothes expecting to have to bury him. We were SO relieved!

[@Rebelgirl-kv6bd]

@@VersatileHorsemanship I was relieved also!! When you started crying I lost it, I couldn't hold it back anymore. I loved the end of the video when he had his head on your shoulder, that was the sweetest thing I ever seen, he definitely loves you. I'll be praying that he feels better, give Manzer a hug & kiss from me 😘!

[@maryredd7613]

He's just like a human kid...they get sick out of nowhere, run high grade fevers, sick as you know what...but the moment you call a doctor (vet). Its as if they never were sick..he is the cutest thing..i love how well you treat your horses

[@cmarie5774]

I cried along with you, even though I've seen his 3 month video, and knew that he would be okay. Manzer is a very special little guy, and it was hard to see him in pain. Thanks for sharing both the good & bad with all of us.

[@carolefearnley1990]

Awww what a gentle patient little horse,it brought tears to my eyes get better soon baby

[@equestriannewbies889]

You cannot beat yourself up about this. You are doing what you can and the best you can. Stay strong! You guys are in my thoughts and prayers.🙏🏻

[@melisaraines9397]

Hugs to you and little man. I cried right along with you. He sure did give us a scare. He is such a special soul!

[@susanflowers6282]

I loved how Nika kept an eye on him the whole time. So Precious!

[@abbyle70]

I made it through this as I know he's so healthy in present day!

Same! I am not sure I would have had the nerve to watch if I hadn't watch Manzer's three month update!

[@jenniferlehman2464]

This is when he was 6 weeks old. Look at the height of Manzer. It tells you in the description of when this was, which was on June 24th, 2019. Best Regards from Ontario, Canada, Jenn.

[@VersatileHorsemanship]

thank you! I knew I had to post an update to prepare everyone for this. I stopped posting videos for a little while because I wasn't sure what was going to happen. All of the time that I dedicate to editing went right into caring for and stressing out over him.

[@raraavis7782]

Versatile Horsemanship That was very considerate of you! It was heartbreaking, seeing him just laying there, unable to get up. Poor little baby. I‘m so glad, you didn’t have to go through having him put down. You fall in love with them so quickly...

[@CaliAnimalLover]

I had to come read the comments to watch the rest of this....he’s just so darling! I’m glad he’s ok! And both the colt and his mama are just gorgeous. And so is your stable. Boy, babies can be downright frightening! We always want to blame ourselves, and that goes for our human babies and our cats and our parrots and everyone that is under our care. Sending you a big hug! He made it! Yay!

[@ginaven1]

Brandi you are the best horsey mom and please don't feel horrible you didn't know he was uncomfortable...Your vets are awesome, did you know vet suicide is very high. My nephew is a vet he brought this to every ones attention. The stress level is major in this type field. Bless your family, the sweet babies and horseys. Happy the baby is healthy!!!!

@@VersatileHorsemanship Your very welcome. Foals can be so hard to take care of, especially in the first 3 months. You handled yourself and Manzer very well, all things considered. So please, don't beat yourself up over the decision of when to call the vet. I probably would have done the same. Best Regards from a friend in Ontario. Canada, Jenn.

[@allthumbs3792]

I sure understand and share your concern and worry! Manzer seems subdued and listless, clearly not on top of his colt game! I remember the video when touching his withers caused a pain like response and spasm, as well as your comment that he was not running or playing much. Noting the date the video was done, not the published date, I’m comforted by the thought that this problem likely has passed and Manzer is on the mend. But it’s one worry after another with our beloved children as well as dear pets. I’m following this vlog with much interest and hope.

[@equitime77]

Hope the little man is feeling much much better

[@VersatileHorsemanship]

so much better

[@drivewayturtle65]

I absolutely love you and the way you love your animals. I watch videos of abused and neglected animals and my blood pressure just goes sky high. You, on the other hand, are emotionally involved with them. Manzer is as much your baby as Nika's. Thank you for taking such good care of them and showing others how to care for theirs. 💖💖💖💖

[@kimkearney5419]

To see you cry while he was down broke my heart.

[@debbieteague4474]

Well that was scary!!! I’m so glad he’s better. 💙 He’s such a precious boy.

[@VersatileHorsemanship]

[@Aprilme2]

He was so good for the vet, especially the blood draw. I only had two foals and they were good for the vet, but not that good.

[@VersatileHorsemanship]

I knew he would be easy to handle but, not that easy! I was so proud of him for being such a trooper

I started crying when you did. I’ve been through the same thing. my mare was full of worms when I bought her. She had a horrible coat, she was always bloated, and I thought it was new feed, new place and I wormed her. She coliced and nearly died. I felt like the worst horse owner in the world. ♥️ I feel for you

[@dianahofstetter1057]

Dear Brandi was in tears with you all the way. Please keep us informed on how Manzer is doing. On a lighter note one thing that makes me laugh is Nika is always eating in the videos lol must be her favourite past time lol. Love from Australia.

[@sudburyhouse]

So happy there was nothing found that would warrant putting him down! It’s so hard when they get sick! I felt so sad for you when he was down and you were waiting for the vet. I’ve been there and it’s awful! I felt a little sick to my stomach doing the ‘oh no’ ‘ oh no’s’ in my head! Almost didn’t want to finish watching. It was nice to see the relief in you at the end as well! Best wishes for the little guy! Get some rest!

[@robertcarmody194]

Omg! It seems like I personally know Manzer. I hope he’s going to be alright. I’ve become attached to him. Praying for you and for Mazer! Don’t second guess yourself. You can tell by looking at him he is well taken care of and much loved. Have faith.

[@kkdoc7864]

I’m going through Manzer’s playlist and watching this for the second time. Maybe I can help in a little way. In humans and in horses, I’m sure, if anything catastrophic happens from a fall or traumatic event, like a broken bone etc, it will show up immediately. You said yourself that he was acting fine after the bucket incident, and that these “spasms” showed up over time after you noticed he didn’t seem to be as active as before. These symptoms all seem muscular in origin especially cause he was tender along the muscles of his upper back and lower neck. If he had any spinal injury, he would not be able to move his legs etc. Muscular pain doesn’t show up right away. The cycle goes--pain then muscle spasm then more pain then more spasm. If you’ve been in a significant car accident before, you don’t hurt so much the first day but by day 3, you’re really feeling it. So glad that’s what it turned out to be.

[@balancingmidlife2022]

Heartbreaking to watch you go through this and see him in so much pain. ♥️🐴

Glad he is better!!! You guys are amazing owners!!!!!!!

[@Finkeldinken]

Watching this was so hard, but thank you again for sharing. This has the potential to help so many horses, owners and vet students. I understand that you felt guilty about not contacting the vet sooner, but as little as this may mean to you, I imagine that I would have been in your shoes completely. I would have waited and kept him under observation just like you did - and I even have ulcers myself and know how painful they can get. You couldn't have known that he was heading acute. He might as well have recovered and been fine, and you were already treating him. Try not to be too hard on yourself. Ooh, I am so glad I have seen his three month update before viewing this one!

[@territn8871]

Brandi, when I saw the title I was afraid to watch it for a little while. I sat here studying the picture trying to tell myself this was from a while back like you've been showing us his "babyhood", but I could tell he looked pretty big laying there. I didn't want to hear bad news and waited a bit before finally watching it.😪 I'm so thankful he managed to get up and that the x-ray didn't reveal a problem. If you have a chance to give us an update tomorrow we'd love to know how he's doing. Meanwhile, I will keep him in my prayers🙏.

[@pamkenel7534]

Talk about scary!!! I wanted to fast forward to make sure he was ok.😢 Thank you for share the good and the scary. 💜

[@56sleepy]

I feel so sad for you with your suffering and worry. I am not a horse human but am sensitive to subtleties of behavior and communication and it is obvious how very much you have done RIGHT for this sensitive little foal. It seems astounding to me how collected Manzer was during his exam, and calm during his procedures. He has clearly been safely, lovingly handled and touched regularly by his humans. His bioMom seemed to be wanting to be closer in on the action towards the end, perhaps even getting a bit peeved at the barriers to her boy, but amazingly she too trusted in your care. Interesting that his bioMom did not seem all that concerned when he was down, but what do I know about either of them and their species. I only know a good human when I see one, and what I’m guessing is for now a sensitive if not “old soul” of a foal. Peace and trust be with you all. GoFundMe can help we cyberfollowers defray costs of expensive meds until Manzer settles and/or generics become available. Little bits add up. Hang in there dear Mama.

[@kepnjem]

I must say, he looked to be in a bad way at the beginning of the video but kids being kids, perked up when the vet arrived! Yay. He was eating and alert. Phew. I'm sure your bonny boy will be as right as rain. 😊

[@zollyzelem463]

good luck and GOD Bless with your colt .

[@martineinfrance]

Poor baby☹️ you have had so many alerts with him, it must have been so worrying to see him in that condition. It is so heartbreaking to watch this drama, so hard to see him in pain. I'm so happy, as a video you posted much later shows, how well he was long after this episode hoping he is well today. I know how you felt thinking it was perhaps the end. I wish animals could tell us what their problem is when they are unwell. Thank you for sharing these sads moments.

[@dorothymerrell6091]

Oh poor Manzer, you don't feel good. It was so good to see him up and eating hay. He was so good for his exam just like a trooper. Please keep us updated on little Manzer.

He sure is a great little horse! I am so glad you have posted a video of him older than this and so I knew he was ok otherwise I don't think I would've gotten through this video - I can't imagine what you went through! Goodness - they do break your heart don't they?! X
