This is a video of Windermeres Blue Print and her colt Windermere’s Sketch soon after delivery. When foals are born they have a rubbery layer known as capsules, “foal slippers”. The hooves are like this to help protect the mare while the foal travels along the birth canal. The minute they make contact with the air they begin to dry out. So you have to be quick to see/get a picture. | Windermere Farms
