Pastoral Scene

I came across this scene in a field just beyond our home. I stopped to watch if the foal would be allowed to suckle and of course, had my camera ready.
You can see by the foal's tail in the photo above, that he's managed to connect to the milk bar!
He was just beginning to enjoy his treat, when suddenly momma noticed me at the fence.
Notice her stance showing that she was starting to move to the side.

Just like a mother, she took up a protective stance, placing her young on the offside and guiding him away from "danger"

And there they go into the distance...
