He's got such a beautiful head and he looks pretty big next to his mum, for his age! He won't grey, he's got zero hyperpigmentation and plenty of foal camouflage - test him and you'll see.
I hope so!! Winnie looked very bay as a foal but is greying now, but I think she was a bit darker in shade (more adult color) - I think Vali will stay buckskin ❤
Hobbit is just the best, as always. Imagine she hadn’t noticed. She deserves some flowers and Prosecco! So glad he’s home and safe, he’s such a beautiful boy and such an exciting prospect for the future!
Thank goodness Vali is okay. Kudos for Hobbs being proactive as it could have been a lot worse. Speedy recovery sweet boy. I think he’s going to be a beautiful buckskin.
I'm so glad Vali is doing well now! Hobbit's decision to follow her gut likely saved this adorable little guy's life. Dee is a phenomenal mom, so that helped a lot at the equine hospital, I'm sure. Sending lots of love and positive thoughts Vali's way while he continues to recover! 💙
He's a real beauty & I'm glad he got through that crisis. We've all gone through that adrenaline rush & the crying where our animals are concerned. Veterinarians rock & so does Hobbes❣️
Meg, I’ve been through colic so many times, with my different horses over the years, and it never gets less scary! In fact, my retired mare just colicked today. I’ve just been in hospital, and am on pain meds and shouldn’t drive, but the second I got the text from my barn manager that my beloved mare, Landra, was colicking, I took off like a bat out of hell to get to the barn. I got there just as the vet did. Thank the Lord it was just a mild impaction, and the good old nasogastric tube and stomach pump, then mineral oil pumped in helped the situation. But Landra has had a torsion colic when she was younger, which obviously required surgery. She’s 21 now, so I worry even more. I totally empathize with that panic and sense of helplessness. So sorry you had to go through that, but so glad Hobbit was on scene to catch it early, and that Vali got his surgery and is ok. I know you have to be SO relieved ❤
My mom always says the peace of mind is worth the vet bill ❤ so glad he’s ok my mare has colic surgery a year and a half ago and I cry whenever another horse colics badly that I know so naturally crying during this. I’m glad he’s ok
I know exactly how you were feeling. The visible signs of colic are so fast. My old horse who is at the other spectrum of the age scale at 27, had colic recently. The vet wasn’t optimistic but treated with a muscle relaxant, massive pain killer and I spent nearly five hours alone in the barn as twenty litres of fluid was pushed through him whilst distracting him with rubs and encouraging not to go down. The vet told me before he left to let him out after the drip had finished, which I did but spent the rest of the night checking on him. A round 4.30 am he asked to go in a new paddock and did a poo as he walked through the gate. The vet’s surgery rang early morning and were surprised that he was doing fine as the vet suspected a twist. Like you I was so worried and happily like Vali, Dan pulled through and is doing well on a new diet to add more roughage as his hay consumption has gone down. I hope Vali’s operation is a success and he has no need of another one. They are such big strong animals in so many ways but vulnerable and fragile when it comes to their internal make up.
Your mom is so instinctual and knew exactly when the issue became urgent. So happy and thankful that Vali is recovering well! They sure know how to put us in a state of fear and worry, don't they? Well wishes to ALL ponies and the EEP family!
Oh Meg so glad Vali is okay ❤️ I had a horrible what if drive today too as one of my horses was injured and I didn’t know what was going on, I was 2.5 hours away and my partner had terrible reception so I just had to wait. So far he seems to be okay but not out of the woods yet 🤞
so thankful that you are not a wait and see type of barn. I have worked at those in the past and it's horrible. It's always the right thing to have the vets come out, no matter how silly it may seem. Thankful and grateful to Hobbit!
So glad Vali is doing well ❤ So, so important to go with your gut. My Arab, Bart, was unwell. Vets did tell us based on scans they thought he had bone cancer in his jaw. There were some options and of course we didn't want him to suffer. But my gut was telling me to pursue it further. After other testing and a procedure, turns out it was a massive abcess and horrendous infection in the jaw that presented like cancer on testing. Thankfully, he healed up well and was never sick ever again. This was when he around 11 yrs old. He turned 33 in Feb 2024!!! ❤🥰😘
So glad Vali is ok, it must have been so scary for you and Jennette, when you own these pressured horses, you have to act on your gut feeling, Hobs did the right thing and also letting you know to when you were away x sending 🤗 to you all, thank you for sharing xx
He is such a gorgeous boy! I am so sorry you had to go through such a terrible scare but I am SO HAPPY to hear he's doing well now!! Big hugs for both of you
What a handsome boy he is, and also sweet. So VERY glad it came through it all so well. So glad Hobbit is (and has taught you to be) such a superb horsewoman, so alert to every sign of a problem, catching it so early. Vali is indeed a Golden Boy, but yeah, getting him healthy sounds like it was the scariest of challenges. So happy for all of you.
Thank God. I’ve been a wreck! I knew it was colic just because with horses colic and if terrified me. Then you said he was okay and I calmed down but have been waiting for this vlog just to hear what had happened. Thank you remarkable vet team. Thank you remarkable Hobbs. You are the best grand momma horsey momma ever
I understand your fear and stress when your mom called you. And so good that she noticed it in time. It's always good to have somebody checking the horses. Horses and other home animals are like family, so it hurts always.😍
So glad he's okay. Three counties are just amazing - my boy went there for major surgery last year and I couldn't fault them. Fingers crossed Vali keeps healing well now 🙏
I figured it was something like that, So glad he's doing well now and hopefully the surgical repair will hold and that will be that on the hernia! He's a tough guy, which should stand him in good stead in 7 years or so at Badders! And YAY HOBBIT!!!! Thank goodness for her care and thoroughness.
I've never owned a horse or had much experience (horse-mad book worm, read pretty much all related nonfiction in 3 libraries) but I do know colic is terrifying. Thank goodness Vali is okay and hope this surgery fixed it so no repeats. Bless Hobbs for acting fast...
I am so glad Vali is doing better. I couldn't help but go giggle when you got them on the trailer to bring them home I sounded like you called him belly lol.
Omg 😱 so happy he’s ok Meg what a stressful time for you. Thank goodness Hobbit was sharp enough to see it so well done to her. And yes I see Buckskin lovely. He’s gorgeous so is Deedee.tfs🤗🏇🤗
Aw Meg I can’t imagine how this would feel, I’m so happy everything is looking up now - your care for your horses is second to none, well done Hobbit! Xx
Thankgod for Hobbit to notice any difference! Great, that he is better. You have such a unique foals, every single one of them! Beautiful amazing foals, all of them! 🤩
Very common colour in Connemara ponies so I suspect he will be a dun or buckskin adult. Glad he is OK and well done to Hobs for being on the ball and getting the vet out
Good to see and hear how gorgeous little Vali is doing. Our animals, however big or small, are a worry, and yet if we know them well, we can so tell they are poorly or not right ❤ Such a worrying and scary time for you, Meg, and your mum ❤ He is now home enjoying being at home and deservidley, so getting more cuddles and kisses ❤
glad to hear vali is going to be okay! as a pet parent myself (though to a cat so nowhere near the expense of a horse) i always say there's no price on peace of mind. i've taken my baby to the vet before over just a tiny little bump that turned out to just be a leftover little spot from one of her routine shots she'd gotten recently. the amount of relief i felt was worth every penny i paid the vet to just feel around and find another little spot just like it and confirm that it was probably nothing but that they'd keep an eye on it at future vet visits.
Preparation for children. Crazy stressful anyway you look at it. So glad he’s okay! Loved this video of his baby antics and loving on you. I don’t have horses but used to do occasional horse sitting and miss my time with them so much.
I had a very similar situation with one of my cats . He was born with a hernia and it erupted/ burst on Easter Sunday so had to have emergency surgery. That was 8 years ago . So glad Vali is ok x
Thanks goodness he’s ok. What a nightmare😱 That helpless feeling is the worst🥺 Massive well done to Hobs and the wonderful vets involved in saving him💗💗💗
I’ve had ‘colic’ when my gut twisted, and when I’ve had blockages & I had open surgery to resolve it. It feels horrid for anything from hours to days before, but not enough to change anything… Then it is AGONY. I can confirm he is a brave little soldier… Props to him for dealing with this as a little innocent baby, not understanding! I’m so so glad he’s doing ok 🩵
That horrible feeling of when your stomach sinks really bad in fear and hopelessness is what i would feel in this frightenting moment in your life.I am so happy he is ok now because if he wasnt i would have physically cried over your foal.Hobbit is the best.(Ofc you still are its just in this particular situation i said about hobbit)Xxxxxxxx
Omg. It’s that intuitive feeling you get when you are connected to your animal no matter what species. Thank god Hobbs was so attentive and could read his symptoms. I’m so relieved he’s well and safe now. What a precious boy he is.
Such a shock. My heart goes out you & your Mum. Hobbs is a superstar 🤗 A shout out, too, to your brilliant vets.🎉 Hoping all goes smoothly with Vali's recovery. Much love to all❤
Oh my goodness, I’m listening to you, but I also can’t stop laughing at little Vali absolutely being all over you. What a friendly little guy! Dee is so good, just chilling in the background, not being foal proud. Of course I’m sure she trusts you more than anyone. She might also be enjoying having you babysit the munchkin for a while so she can have some peace and quiet! 😅
Bless you, Hobbs & Vali. Speedy recovery for him. I'm a firm believer in your veterinary gut instincts on any animal. Been there many times. Had one indecent that I landed up texting my Vet late at night only to discover he was on holiday in Israel. Bless him he contacted me immediately and stayed in touch, informed the clinic about the situation etc. etc. Worth the money and having a good rapport with your vets. Again Meg, always go with your gut feeling. Major dittos on that.
Very happy to see the golden guy is home and on the mend! Good on Hobbit and the vet team for their quick responses, and well done Dee for her stellar in-hospital parenting :)
Oh Meg, what a distressing time - so glad he has come through so well, having such a steady mum like Dee with him would have helped enormously, and well done Hobs not hanging about. Powerful emotions are very draining so hugs to you all and take care.
Omg I’m soooo sorry Meg and fam! Colic is the worst!!! Poor little guy!!! We’ve know a few horse with colic and only one has passed on. I am SO happy that Vali boy is ok! I cannot imagine how sad and stressful that experience is! I’m glad to see Vali is doing better now, and I’m so glad that we didn’t have to receive even more horrible news! We r here for u Meg! U r one of the best horse women I’ve ever seen! Also super job Hobs for catching it early! Props to u!! He is so cute and looks nice and perky now! Such a relief! Also mega job Dee Dee! not to be biased but she’s always been one of my favs!!! Keep up the good work and don’t stress too much! Xxx love from🇺🇸
OMG! So glad he is okay. Colic is the worst my Palamino has done it twice. Both times I was a total mess. I do think he might be a buttermilk buckskin? Breathe deep and get rest after an adrenaline let down. It is a real thing. Take care Meg and Hobbs!!! Xoxo your #1 fan from Indiana.
All of us who've had pets or animals knows that dizzying, sinking feeling of helpless uncertainty. It's hard to think of much worse. So glad the little fella pulled thru ❤❤❤ It's funny how similar colic in horses is to gi stasis in rabbits -- or maybe not because it's literally the exact same thing. I've had house rabbits for over ten years and so many times they recover via the car ride to the vet! But of course when it's a serious blockage, getting to the vet and into surgery is required. Do you guys ever do fluids on your own at home, tho? It's something that's really helpful for my little guys. (But of course we don't have vets that will drive out, just an exotics vet with limited hours a long drive away, so we *have* to do a lot ourselves. Still, always good knowing you can)
I’m so happy Vali is doing okay now!! Dee is an amazing mom! Hobbits decision likely saved this little foal. Sending love and positive thoughts to everyone!! ❤
hobbs is a hawk eyed horse nainy glad she was keeping a close eye and got the vet out asap yes I have had a phone call like that when my fur baby got knocked down by a car and had a call from my step dad to get home quick . (Bacardi was ok after but had a broken pelvis/hock so took 4 months to get her back walking and even then the leg heeled a bit odd so she had one leg a bit shorter than the other )but she adjusted ok cats usually do. im so glad vali is back home and im crossing everything that he gets better and the less invasive thing will work XXXX
Harrowing! I don't envy you that stressful time. So happy everything is turning out for the best. And kudos to Hobbit, she really is the best horse Granny and general horse person there is. We see it in every vlog, but this was an especially urgent situation and of course she made all the difference. Glad everyone is home safe. On a humourous note, this reminded me of one of those vlogs where people apply their make up as they tell a story but instead of that it was you telling the story while you and Vali groomed each other. Adorable!
So sorry to hear, that Vali was so poorly, thank heaven for everyone who helped him, especially Hobbit 👍. I love his gorgeous big Bambi eyes, well everything about him is gorgeous, including his personality. It’s lovely to see him interacting with Meg, I think she will have a special bond with him.☺️
Im so glad Vali is ok! Its horrible when stuff like this happerns, Good ol Hobs for saving the day! Alwats listen to your gut, it never puts your wrong. Lots of love Meg
I'm so glad to hear all is ok, I panicked for a moment then! Sending Vali lots of love and hugs and wishes of wellness and healing. Hopefully, there is no need for further surgery 🤞 Keep us posted on his recovery 😊 ... Sending lots of love and big hugs to Vali and all the horse family ❤❤❤
That must have been terrifying. Brings me right back to when one of my foals got neurologic. So much can go wrong with the babies. I'm so glad Vali is okay!!
He's got such a beautiful head and he looks pretty big next to his mum, for his age! He won't grey, he's got zero hyperpigmentation and plenty of foal camouflage - test him and you'll see.
My thoughts too. He is a beautiful little buckskin boy!
I hope so!! Winnie looked very bay as a foal but is greying now, but I think she was a bit darker in shade (more adult color) - I think Vali will stay buckskin ❤
But he could alway Darken
agreed!
Hobbit is just the best, as always. Imagine she hadn’t noticed. She deserves some flowers and Prosecco! So glad he’s home and safe, he’s such a beautiful boy and such an exciting prospect for the future!
It's that feeling of helplessness that's the worst. So glad everything has worked out so well. Thanks to Hobbs!!❤❤
Thank goodness Vali is okay. Kudos for Hobbs being proactive as it could have been a lot worse. Speedy recovery sweet boy. I think he’s going to be a beautiful buckskin.
I'm so glad Vali is doing well now! Hobbit's decision to follow her gut likely saved this adorable little guy's life. Dee is a phenomenal mom, so that helped a lot at the equine hospital, I'm sure. Sending lots of love and positive thoughts Vali's way while he continues to recover! 💙
I have just been diagnosed with a hiatus hernia. IT DRIVES ME NUTS. I'm with Vali. Vali you are being well looked after.
Kudos to Hobbit for being the best mum! Keen observation and her knowledge saved this foal. Thank you Hobbit!
He's a real beauty & I'm glad he got through that crisis. We've all gone through that adrenaline rush & the crying where our animals are concerned. Veterinarians rock & so does Hobbes❣️

He has the sweetest, kindest eye. He will be great, no doubt.

Everyone give Hobbit a big hug for her alertness in noticing Vali's distress. We are all wishing him a quick healing journey...he is a special guy.
Your mom is so instinctual and knew exactly when the issue became urgent. So happy and thankful that Vali is recovering well! They sure know how to put us in a state of fear and worry, don't they? Well wishes to ALL ponies and the EEP family!
We lost my mare suddenly to colic in 2020, my heart just sinks to my feet whenever I hear someone else dealing with it. So glad he pulled through!
Hobbs the hero. She knows the horses as her own children. Anxious times, but so happy to see and hear things are all good again.
Oh Meg so glad Vali is okay ❤️ I had a horrible what if drive today too as one of my horses was injured and I didn’t know what was going on, I was 2.5 hours away and my partner had terrible reception so I just had to wait. So far he seems to be okay but not out of the woods yet 🤞
What a relief to hear he's going to be OK. Well done on catching early ❤
Sooooo glad the gorgeous wee fella came through safe and sound !! He has the most adorable face 👌🏻🙏🥰❤️
so thankful that you are not a wait and see type of barn. I have worked at those in the past and it's horrible. It's always the right thing to have the vets come out, no matter how silly it may seem. Thankful and grateful to Hobbit!
Such a relief to hear he is ok now🙏🏻
Meg bless You, must have been terrifying😢 and well done super Hobs ❤
Vali is such a cute foal I am glad he is feel better now ♥️♥️
He is absolutely gorgeous!! I want him!!! 😍😍😍

Vali has his mother's beautiful eyes! Best wishes for a speedy recovery...
Well done Hobs! And all the vets for the speedy action. He is so precious - live his personality. ❤
How scary! So glad that he is well. God Bless.
So so glad he’s safe and sound! And hopefully the less invasive surgery takes! Have you settled on his show name yet? Kisses for the bestest boy!
What a beautiful bond you both have ,you can see the ❤️ 😍 💖
I understand your fear and stress when your mom called you. And so good that she noticed it in time. It's always good to have somebody checking the horses. Horses and other home animals are like family, so it hurts always.😍

Bless Hobbs for acting fast...
Good job Hobb’s!!! So happy for good news! Vali such a strong little man!
Love from California🏔️🌲☀️🩵

Thankgod for Hobbit to notice any difference! Great, that he is better. You have such a unique foals, every single one of them! Beautiful amazing foals, all of them! 🤩
Very common colour in Connemara ponies so I suspect he will be a dun or buckskin adult. Glad he is OK and well done to Hobs for being on the ball and getting the vet out
Good to see and hear how gorgeous little Vali is doing. Our animals, however big or small, are a worry, and yet if we know them well, we can so tell they are poorly or not right ❤

Horses! So glad he's ok. He is absolutely adorable
Oh my goodness, I’m listening to you, but I also can’t stop laughing at little Vali absolutely being all over you. What a friendly little guy!

Well done Hobs for instigating promt vetinary care. ❤ Glad Vali is making a good recovery - praying that he makes a complete recovery. ❤ 😊 xOx
Very happy to see the golden guy is home and on the mend! Good on Hobbit and the vet team for their quick responses, and well done Dee for her stellar in-hospital parenting :)
Gosh what a scary situtation! Glad he is home safe and sound. Well done Hobbs!

(But of course we don't have vets that will drive out, just an exotics vet with limited hours a long drive away, so we *have* to do a lot ourselves. Still, always good knowing you can)
I’m so happy Vali is doing okay now!! Dee is an amazing mom! Hobbits decision likely saved this little foal. Sending love and positive thoughts to everyone!! ❤
hobbs is a hawk eyed horse nainy glad she was keeping a close eye and got the vet out asap yes I have had a phone call like that when my fur baby got knocked down by a car and had a call from my step dad to get home quick . (Bacardi was ok after but had a broken pelvis/hock so took 4 months to get her back walking and even then the leg heeled a bit odd so she had one leg a bit shorter than the other )but she adjusted ok cats usually do. im so glad vali is back home and im crossing everything that he gets better and the less invasive thing will work XXXX
So glad Vali is ok ❤❤❤ your poor mom has had a lot of stress between Daphne and now Vali!! She needs a relaxing day!!
What a health scare! I’m so glad he’s feeling better. Thank you for the update. ❤
So glad he's ok. Great call Hobs, thanks for looking out for all the ponies!
Harrowing! I don't envy you that stressful time. So happy everything is turning out for the best. And kudos to Hobbit, she
really is the best horse Granny and general horse person there is. We see it in every vlog, but this was an especially urgent situation and of course she made all the difference. Glad everyone is home safe. On a humourous note, this reminded me of one of those vlogs where people apply their make up as they tell a story but instead of that it was you telling the story while you and Vali groomed each other. Adorable!
So nice he is doing well now❤
Awww I'm so happy he is OK! He is absolutely gorgeous 😍 ❤️
Nice to see him ok
So sorry to hear, that Vali was so poorly, thank heaven for everyone who helped him, especially Hobbit 👍.
I love his gorgeous big Bambi eyes, well everything about him is gorgeous, including his personality.
It’s lovely to see him interacting with Meg, I think she will have a special bond with him.☺️
Im so glad Vali is ok! Its horrible when stuff like this happerns, Good ol Hobs for saving the day! Alwats listen to your gut, it never puts your wrong. Lots of love Meg
I'm so glad to hear all is ok, I panicked for a moment then! Sending Vali lots of love and hugs and wishes of wellness and healing. Hopefully, there is no need for further surgery 🤞
Keep us posted on his recovery 😊 ... Sending lots of love and big hugs to Vali and all the horse family ❤❤❤
Glad to hear Vali is doing ok what a relief for you and Hobs ❤
So relieved Vali is doing so well now, he's such a sweetheart ❤
That must have been terrifying. Brings me right back to when one of my foals got neurologic. So much can go wrong with the babies. I'm so glad Vali is okay!!
