Our weather here in Northern lower Michigan has been pretty close to Taz's description. Local cherry and other crops may have suffered some initial damage to buds as everything bloomed earlier than usual and then froze. I have had a little blanket on Jasper, which will probably coming off later...

Oh she's beautiful and what a beautiful name too!

What a beautiful name!!

Iron Mountain is in Michigan's upper peninsula. Kingsley is about 25 miles southeast of Traverse City in the lower peninsula, if that helps. This is in the northern lower peninsula of Michigan. Our weather here is usually a little warmer than the U.P. but pretty similar. We were getting snow...

Weather is up and down with temps all over the place. One day it stays 20F and the next it is 60F, then at night back down to 15F. I will see if I can load more photos. Can't let them out to play much because another mare is intently focused on stealing the baby. So not any "fun" pictures yet...

Still tossing a few names around, but currently the best contender is "Jasper."

Congratulations on your new little filly! She's a looker!

A few names are floating around. Still can't decide!

And still no vet response!!:mad:

I'd be watching her very closely...My mare just had her foal early this morning and didn't have much more of an udder than yours. I really thought I had about a few days to a week o_O I also had no breed date, so that really wasn't a consideration in my situation. Just watch her, have a camera...

Snickers had her baby at 4 am today!! Little colt. Very strong! Literally born on it's feet! Mama delivered standing up. Baby broke open the bag himself with just his weight and movement. Front feet landed first and then the rest of him followed very quickly as she walked. All 4 hooves on the...

I think I'd start preparing for possibility of up to 3 new little ones next Spring. That would be my plan ;) I have a little stallion. Opted to wait on gelding him as his condition was poor due to acorn toxicity. Now there is a chance there will be more babies next year. My "plan" should've been...

She seems to be coming along ok. She's huge and miserable. Went from having a moody mare to a very sweet one, back to moody (and today that is putting it mildly!). Finally got some test strips but she's in a kicking mood, so I doubt I'll be able to use them at all. It's taken a year for her to...

Makes absolute sense to me, but then again, we are both sleep deprived! I don't have an answer for you as you know already, I ordered test strips and have had zero luck getting close to that udder! I guess for now I'd say it can't hurt to try! (unless she's irritable like Snickers!). It seems...

Absolutely adorable!! Thanks for the reminder on how cute and fun they are. Crabby pregnant mare today made me question why do I do this?!

Here they seem to follow routines of deer and rabbits- mostly evenings and very early mornings. they start howling around 10 or 11 pm, so I imagine that's their gathering time.

OOOhhhhhh....SO EXCITING! Can't wait to see pics of your new bundle of joy!

That was amazing!!

Don't worry MerMaeve, it was actually some of the best times the kids and I had! Everyone was phenominal really and the animals all got along (dogs were confused though! LOL). Llamas were pretty chill and took up most of the room. Everyone was restrained, especially the dogs.

Tell your husband it could be worse! My ex and I were in the middle of a divorce during fair and he refused to help or allow use of his trailer. I had to get 3 kids and all their animals to the fair in a big hurry using only an old Ford Econoline Conversion van..Hauled 3 kids, 3 dogs, two...
