I would guess she has a little bit to go, but it could be any day now.

Last year she didn't even get a belly until after 330 days or so. Most of the belly that she does have now is fat, but she lost weight fast after foaling last year and struggled to put it back on. So I wanted her a little heavier to start this year. As you can see there has been almost no change...

Ok everyone, time for questions. If you aren't done, do not read these! 1 How did you like the book and what did you think of how it ended? 2 Do you believe in psychics and ghosts? Why or why not? And did that change your feelings about the book? 3 Do you think Thomas’s erratic behavior...

I was definitely wondering. Are you tired of being up all night watching her yet? 🤣 My last 2 foals have gone quite a bit past their "due dates" so I have spent way too much time watching mares. But she is coming along nice and it shouldn't be too much longer now.

Thanks, I will tell her you said so. She loves compliments. After clipping you can really see foal movement, though this one isn't as active as the last little booger.

It's definitely not something I would have chosen, but I won it online and I enjoyed it. I will post the questions in a couple days. Don't want to accidentally give away the ending to anyone that's not finished.

No real changes, but she definitely is bigger than she was last year this far. I clipped her today, badly and with the hair, because I'm tired of eating horse hair in my dinner every night.

If you post a good picture of the hoof flat on the ground, from square on the side and from the back of it I'm sure you will get some critiques. To me they look a little long but nothing crazy, but it's tough to tell from those pictures.

It's hard to find a good farrier, and 90% of them are temperamental. I like the one I have now, but he doesn't like to do minis, so the first thing I need to find out before I get one is how good is it for the farrier? If it's even a little difficult I have to pass because I don't want him to...

How are you all coming along with the book, and what do you think of it so far? I know how it ends, so I'm searching for clues about the plot twist.

I should also say that if my horses feet looked that long at 4 weeks I would be very suspicious of my farrier not doing what he is supposed to do. My mare grows like crazy, she would probably look similar at 8 weeks, but her growth is pretty even from toes to heels. Which is fun because she...

They don't look too bad to me. I've seen some pretty drastic changes made and the horse seemed to get immediate relief. The way I understand it is that the gradual method keeps stretching things out in there, so instead of a trim and then relief you get a gradual change, all the while the...

Thanks! I started with pencil, moved to charcoal, then to stained glass, and now I'm messing with the acrylics. I tend to like things exact and perfect so it's a real challenge for me to be able to relax and let this paint do what it wants.

We had rain for like 5 days in a row so I tried a new painting technique. It's pretty much making broth out of acrylic paint, and it kind of made a strange, blurry effect, almost like watercolors. I'm not sure if I like it or not yet.

She sure looks like she is getting close.

Yay! that's me, and I'm going to start on it again tomorrow. I already read it once. I will be cheating and getting my questions off the internet.

It can be tough with minis because most vets don't want to do an internal ultrasound, and external is mostly useless except at certain points. I would guess that collecting off the ground is pretty much worthless. You probably have a 50/50 chance of it being accurate. She sure does look round...

Well, I guess she has a little too much weight on her. We are having a bout of Easter laminitis. She's not on grass, and I didn't change her feed, but the new bag was a lot stickier, I'm guessing either too much molasses or just pregnancy hormones. Poor thing. Bag is still slowly filling.

Great job! And very educational.

I wish the birds would grab it here, but they just don't seem interested. My mare's paddock looks like it got snowed on. It's buckskin on her but white on the ground. and me. and my food.
