Didn't seem like too much fluid... 'bout usual. (I foal out 10-40 mares a year as a mini-midwife, plus bunches of big horses)

This morning Bug foaled a lovely (teeny) Colt we're calling "Bud" - From his hair coat, yes he's a bit preemie but WOW is he a strong little guy! Delivery was pretty textbook once she settled into pushing! Bug wasn't sure about letting him nurse, so I gave him a supplemental bottle of banked...

Here's another use for the skateboard if walking is just too hard.... She better foal soon before we figure out more ways to make fun of her....

Here's another Skateboard option....

We've been threatening to strap a skateboard to her belly for a long time - today we made good!

Bug Update... (Bugdate?) - still hanging in there, back to her semi-spazzy self! Still so humongous that we took photos of her today with a skateboard tied to her tummy! Still tiny nipples in the bigger bag, so I want her to wait another week or two... but not to wait until her 342 due date...

Bug is 295 days along today. She didn't finish her breakfast, didn't do her usual mad dash around the round pen, yet she is not hugely ready bag-wise. Our earliest live foal was born at 292 days, so her baby *might* be OK if she foals after today... I'd rather she wait at least another week...

Hands down, better than a furminator (cheaper, too) and indestructible so far... http://www.sleekez.com/products/10-sleekez-horse-grooming-shedding-blade

No sneaking.... sterile stallion was gelded and sold 2 years ago, and Appy had no access except for hand breeding... so perhaps she took on an earlier cover and was playing hussy at later breedings. Our earliest live foal was born at 292 days and just had HER first foal last year! Our...

This is Bug.... she's by First Knight's Redi or Not... she's under 30". Her first foal died in utero, full term, and had to be pulled at the clinic because of his position and rigor. It was horrible. (and I've seen worse, but horrible is horrible!) Anyway.... 3 different vets including the...

Currently "on cam" - a client's palomino pinto Gypsy mare "Promise" (you will see her owner here doing mane and tail duty - I'm not going to be responsible for THAT!) She's due in about a month - not much in the bag department as of today. Also Bug - my teeny little First Knight's Redi or Not...

Sorry gang - I was roped into going to horse shows both days this weekend despite being in the middle of a "fibro-crash" and trying to catch up on some sleep! I finally got frustrated (and it was hot) so I gave Nana a bath.... *poof* baby that night! BeauNana Muffin! Bay Dun (or "Yellow dun"...

I've had a feeling she was going to foal for the last 3 nights.... see where it gets me? Nana's in her stall so people can watch... she gets out to graze and roll and walk around a couple of times a day when we're cleaning her stall. She prefers not to move if given the choice! Today is hot...

This is Nana's 5th foal (4th for me) - but she's in her 20's now (21 or 22, can't remember off the top of my head) and hasn't been bred for a few years. So it's liable to cook a little longer.... OTOH, she waxed 3 days ago, her milk is nearly opaque and she certainly can't be any LESS due at...
