2009/2010 was an eventful foaling season with the safe arrival (eventually) of five foals, 2 colts and 3 fillies, one filly by Latimer (frozen semen) caused a fair bit of stress as she presented placenta first, we got her out safely and all seemed well. Several hours later she was a dummy foal and had lost the ability to suckle after local vets doing what they could I rushed her to Satur Veterinary Clinic in Scone in the front of my landcruiser, the trip took 6 1/2 hours and they managed to perform a miracle on a very ill foal. Dulwich Stud thanks Richard (vet) and the wonderful support team at Satur for their huge effort. I truly believed this filly would not survive and after losing a colt of the same breeding last season plus semen issues I was about to give up on ever having a Latimer foal. Mirage is still a little behind the other foals but doing nicely since her huge ordeal at the start.
