The foal in these pictures was born on December 24, 2008. With no milk being produced by her mother, it was very touch and go due to needing a way to nourish the foal. In search of goats milk to give nourishment a message was posted on a Oregon horse lovers Yahoo Group for anyone who had access to goats milk on Christmas Day.
The response was incredible. The gift of helping a stranger was given by so many. The owner of the horse and her foal did find goats milk in Dexter, Oregon and the baby made it through the day.
3 days later the baby is doing very good. There is still the need to keep a close eye on her but it looks like the danger is over.

The meaning of giving was experienced by so many this Christmas Day.
