The thing is, that she wasn’t crabby about me touching her teats before. Then all of a sudden she was snaking her head at me. To be honest though, if she’s not in foal, I’m okay with that because I have a plan B to get a baby lol! Would certainly love if she was in foal though but I do have plan...

Gotcha, I’m not stalling her yet but probably will soon :)

Ohhhh I understand, I’ll probably start doing two times a day too, that’ll probably help

Gotcha. I could swear that she is building one though because I can see in the photos I take that it’s getting bigger. And also last Sunday I was able to feel it, and I had felt it a couple days before that and last Sunday it was definitely bigger than the few days before from feeling it

That’s what I meant, I think…? Lol I’m so new to this haha

Well I will say, you already know this but you’ve DEFINITELY got a foal there. You’re super lucky being able to know that haha Indi just keeps me guessing and guessing…I’ve not had her two weeks yet and I’m already going crazy. Her udder right now sure looks very similar to my Indi. Belle’s...

I forgot about pitter patter whoops lol. You know that’s totally possible that it’s because of the mild winter! I never thought of that!

There are at least two other people on this site that I’m following who are waiting for their foals to be born. @Taz and @elizabeth.conder but there may be more.

Until Jan or Feb yes, there are rare cases as I’ve been seeing here that mares can get pregnant in winter too.

I like doing it myself too, super satisfying! I’m not good enough to do others lol, my gelding Baccardi can be a real brat to do, as literally every 2-5 snips he starts acting up, trying to “rear”, even though he has balance on all of his other three feet. Any tips to help him not be such a brat?

I actually do feet myself too, with my dad’s help. We’re not professionals but we can get it done good enough so it doesn’t hurt them, and we are learning how to do it better every time :)

Lol 😂 I mean Baccardi is just slightly cowhocked, you barely even notice it and it doesn’t affect him at all

They were trimmed, the rescue said they were semi up to date. I’ve been able to handle them for a few seconds, haven’t tried for longer yet but they said he’s pretty good for trimming

Okay I’ll look into that and get his back feet at least done. He was wild on a reserve till Jan so that would be why he didn’t have intervention, and he was also not handled much at the rescue as they have many animals to look after.

So I have a concern about Arrow. It seems like he has “cow hocks”, can this condition be fixed? Might it go away since he is only two? If it doesn’t go away or can’t be fixed, will he be lame or will he be able to learn tricks, jumping etc? It’s mostly in his back legs, his fronts are almost...

Okay so another interesting update here. I’m attaching some photos and I know it doesn’t look like much, but I am now 90% convinced she is indeed pregnant. Why? Because basically, I went out, and she was laying down. I didn’t see her at first. Then she got up and tried kicking her belly. Then I...

Oh my gosh what is with all the black horses lmao 🤣

I love it too! Lol 😂 if he’s a gelding there’s no way haha

Ahhh gotcha, I was hoping you were saying she’s pregnant lmao 🤣 exactly what I was thinking with the photo thing haha, it is hard to know what her baseline is since I’ve only had her for a week haha but I’m trying to stay neutral, not hoping too much for a baby and being fine if nothing happens...

This is so weird, so many people with black mares waiting for them to foal lol! My Indi doesn’t look quite that pregnant, but she does look much bigger than my other not pregnant mare, and she does have an udder. At least more of one than my other mare. It may not look like much on photos but it...
