After several days of NOTHING Gypsy is getting close now. Brix is 21, ph 7.5, and she has some wax! I expect that ph drops soon. She is miserable and actually not my friend when she checked her earlier.

Congrats!

A couple days with no poop is very normal! Glad to see it’s resolved though!

Fantastic! Yeah if he was below 600 you’d have known by now most likely. So glad he’s good! The silver coloration you are seeing is typical black foal camo, which usually indicates grey is not present. Note the use of the word USUALLY lol. Here’s one one of my black foals that had a lot of...

Okay so, how long did it take for him to nurse? With low iGg levels it can definitely be scary. They usually want to do plasma which unfortunately is expensive. They are at risk of getting an infection otherwise. Hopefully that iGg level is high!

He is a black tobiano. I am thinking he did not get grey from mom considering how much foal camo he has.

It’s not unusual for them to go a year. Udder is getting close but should still fill some. You don’t want to ph test correct? How soft are her hindquarters? How much tail resistance does she have?

Congratulations!!!!

It’s official, this mare is crazy. I am giving up on her (not really, maybe reverse psychology). she went backwards again overnight and is testing sky high again. MARES…..

So my friend was wrong about brix the other day….not sure what it actually was but it’s been 8-12 in the last 48 hrs….until tonight. It’s up to 20 and ph is starting to drop (between 7.8 and 7.5). Behavior is very different, she’s quiet and wants to be alone. Hopefully getting closer now.

Brix is now off the charts. Ph is still high but I bet it drops soon now with that change in brix. Udder has made good progress too.

Very normal. I don’t really worry about it unless they are super dirty.

Basically she’s gotten to the point where all she wants is to be in her stall and left alone. She stands there all day and looks pitiful. She is just over it. She’s been itchy and rubbing but it’s more than that now. She’s just fed up with it.

More progress! Still testing high so we continue to wait. Since she’s now 315 and making so much progress we are keeping her in the run that is under camera as a precaution. She’s really hit that miserable stage.

Gypsy has made really good progress in the udder department. Ph is still high. I think she probably has some time left but I’m very pleased with her progress and with her being a maiden I don’t trust her to stick to the rules LOL!

Looking good! I expect that udder to fill a bit more but I bet she’s not too far off!

Starting to make big changes! Nice udder now although teats should still fill. Belly is dropped and moving forward of center!

Just for the fun of it, this is the sire to the first 3 foals this year…RHA Redis Loaded Dice yesterday showing off to his first mare this spring and the horses next door.

Gypsy is really starting to make progress now. Udder is growing but has a way to go. Brix is already high at 17 and ph is teetering on the brink of dropping. She is 311 days and a maiden so she will be interesting. Rythem hit 280 today. She has had a bit of edema in front of her udder the last...

Getting there for sure!!! I think it will fill more though. When you can, can you get a pic from the side so we can see belly position?
