Been a little while since we saw Rachel's foal and Stonestreet just released this picture of her fuzzy lil self.

Stonestreet just posted a link to this piece that ran on Oaks day. Recent footage of Rachel and her filly are included as well as a word from Barbara and others. It sounds like the operation was more of a risk than I think we knew originally, based on the location of the problem. They claim they've not even talked about whether to breed her, just her recovery.

Great segement; thanks for posting. Though I laughed at the name running under her owner, "Barbara Blank."

Yes, thanks for posting. That was great to see. Little Rachel 13 is adorable:{>: and her Mom is a real beauty. :tro:

i took it as being pretty serious since they kept cautioning everyone that it was very serious and she had a long road ahead of her. i was worried every time that they said there was an update that it was bad news.

Oh I'm not saying I didn't think it was serious, but sounds like the vets weren't even sure they wanted to risk operating, not unlike when someone tells you a tumor is inoperable. They could operate but it might not be survivable if they did given what they had to do to remove the problem. It's hard to think she'd have survived waiting it out with antibiotics and draining. At some point, you'd have to thinks sepsis would've set in.

Nice story, Mr. Haskin! Thanks for sharing it with us. And thanks for posting it, TOG.

So glad she made it.

Rachel's "Godmothers?" Oh boy.

Always nice reading about Rachel. :)

Guess this means you don't want to be her Godfather (?)... :p
