RE: [RC] Recognition of offspring - heidiMy 8 yr old gelding MMF Felarof (Fellow) was born there. He left there as a weanling, at age 6 or 7 months. When I unloaded him, he took a deep breath as he looked around..IN THE DARK...and immediately stared whinnying. Cheri had me put him in a large paddock that bordered the mare pasture. His mother was in with all the other broodmares. He immediately ran up to the fence and within SECONDS, he and his mom were nose to nose..little nickers coming from them both. Dam/foal connections are pretty strong--but then they spent time together. It is the sire/foal connection that I find so fascinating.
