Just like a human child, this foal finds comfort in his mother’s lap!
Someone sent me these photos and I just had to share them!
This is a newborn offspring of Taskin, a Gypsy Stallion owned by Villa Vanners of Oregon .
These pictures were taken immediately after his birth on April 6, 2009.
The mare laid down, and then he trotted around and crawled right up into her lap!
Some pictures just don’t need captions.
There is nothing like Mom’s lap no matter who you are.

Great photos Barb. Reminds me of the days I kept horses
Wow, you had horses! My grandfather did too, so I was brought up with them; they are such a beautiful and majestic animal, probably one of my favourites.
You are right… Love is and words are not necessary. Touching!

What great pictures! What a sweet momma and baby. So precious. Thank you for sharing these with us Barb!
Isn’t that a wonderful thing to see Shell? My heart is bursting with emotion seeing the tenderness between the mother and baby.
The cuteness factor of this post is the higest!
Adorable photos!
Thanks Rebekah!
I’ve never ever seen a foal do this before, that’s why these photos are so unique.
Beautiful, thank you for posting and sending the picture, just beautiful and so true some photo’s do not need words, the photo says it all.
They certainly do Cathy! These ones are so precious.
A lovely photo and the mare is so caring.
They are precious pictures. Thanks for popping by!
Those are darling. Animals rock!
I agree 100%! That’s why I’m passionate about them, like you!
Awww, so precious. The love between this mare and her newborn is heart touching. Wonderful photos, thanks so much for sharing these.
I’ve never seen a foal do this before, it’s quite unusual and oh, so sweet!
What a wonderful photo/photos…..laps were made for love and contentment.
Nothing like the contentment of a mother’s lap, Chris – animal or human!
So cute and reinforces that animals can and need to love! Nothing like a mother’s love.
We all need love Jodi, and yes, there is nothing like a mother’s love, whether it be in the human or animal world.
Those are such good pictures. Good Mom pony for letting your foal sit in your lap. That is so great. We enjoyed that.
Take care
Glad you enjoyed it Marge; I’ve never seen a foal do that before. Did you watch the video of his father? He’s stunning!
ohhh….that is so precious….and wow!!!…that dad is impressive!!!!
He sure is impressive, I’ve never seen a horse with such a long, flowing mane like he had!
Hi,
They are gorgeous, I have never seen a horse and foal like that before with the foal laying in Mums arms so to speak, very, very nice.
I also had a look at the video, very good indeed.
I enjoyed the video showing the father – he is so majestic; perhaps his son will grow up to look like him!
Barb, this is beyond beautiful and adorable and oh so sweet.
Glad you liked it so much Margie, it’s so precious.
That’s the kind of comfort no one ever outgrows. Just precious.
Very true RD!
Awww, how beautiful, animals do have feelings too!
They sure do Sami!
Oh ain’t that so cute…he sure does love his Mum…wish my Mum was still here so I could sit on her lap and have a cuddle!
There is nothing like a mother’s lap, is there? We never outgrow that feeling.
That is ADORABLE!!
Sweet!
Oh man…that is just too precious.
Tenderness abounds between mother and baby!
One very big “awww”!
Thanks Jo!
