So a while back I had bought some equine p-tests for a bit of fun, spent hours trying to collect pee 😅 and ended up with some very inconclusive results. Well the day the vet is coming out, doesn’t Rosie decide to pee right in front of me with the bottle on the stick I still had in the barn...

Thank you! And thanks, it works pretty well for what we need right now, but likely we will have to make some adjustments in the future. How are your girls doing? No significant changes with Rosie this morning, though Roxy my pintaloosa is acting strange with her now too - has to be by her side...

Just as I expected, nothing really new on the evening check. Her udder looks the same to me, no change in her back end. The only thing that was a little odd was Wish would not let the boys anywhere near her and Rosie, and she had to be right by Rosie. If either of the boys came into the barn she...

Ah yes I had seen those already. Ugh I just want to go out there one of these days and think wow that’s a big change! But for now it’s very slow going.

I agree completely - all those offering advice and support have been an absolute godsend! Do you have any Pepper udder pics? Not much is going on with Rosie right now so it’s up to you, Pitter Patter, to keep things interesting haha!

No :confused: I have to get some equipment to get the wifi signal over in the barn, but I know what I need now and how to do it so fingers crossed I can get my hands on it soon! If not I’ll be sleeping in the barn lol

That’s a wonderful explanation, thank you! Rosie used to have a pretty firm, round back end but now it’s getting a bit softer either side of her tail and slightly downwards either side of her vulva, not mega jiggly or anything, just more squishy to the touch than it used to be, if that makes...

So this might sound really silly, but being a newbie to pregnant mares I would rather ask the silly questions and know the right answers! When you say “jello butt”, where exactly is that? Is it all over, around the tail head, downwards sort of either side of the vulva? And how squishy are we...

Lol I think she’s getting very much to the “I’m over it” stage! Everything seems to be more of an effort for her the past couple days, like she seems to have a “ugh ok, if I have to” attitude (can’t blame her - my middle child was a September baby so I know first hand what it’s like being fat...

Oh my goodness, he is the cutest little thing!! Bahaha I better stock up my fridge! I’m hoping the vet may have a better idea of where Rosie’s at when she comes out on Wednesday. I’ll post the pictures from last night and I’m sure you’ll see what I mean about her being a wide load! I couldn’t...

Well I go and say that about Rosie having a lower belly and tonight it seems to have gone back up and she’s as wide as a house 😅 I’m sure there has to be a dedicated section in the psych ward for people with pregnant mares!

Wow I can see why you’re suspicious of Pepper!! Lol no definitely not too far behind! I feel like Rosie has a lower belly than Snickers, but not as low as Pepper. Snickers and Rosie look similar in the udder department for sure!

What a little darling! Congratulations 🥰

Eek!! Maybe all the second guessing is finally coming to an end lol though I’m still going to get the vet to take another peek while she’s here. Heck if I’m already paying the call out fee and having 2 other horses checked out while she’s here then I might as well. Hopefully the “black blob...

Please do! Haha I know I certainly will be very grateful for your advice and knowledge, as well as the other ladies that have been fantastic along the way so far! It is so nice having Pitter Patter at a similar stage in foal watch too, us with our “late bloomers” lol

Funny you should say that because I almost thought the same thing! Maybe there is a little something going on if you’re also seeing it. No not yet, but I have family coming this weekend and my brother in law is extremely techy (and I mean full on tech genius lol) so I’m going to ask him to scope...

Oh I love Finnegan/Finn for short! 🥰

Aww it sounds like you have a wonderful routine and lovely relationship building with them all! Haha I would love to see you with a pony sitting on your lap! How adorable! I’m like you with the picture taking - my camera roll is full of pony ****ies, belly shots and the rest of it, occasionally...

Aww bless them lol the only reason I asked is I found that separating Rosie to give her her feed made a huge difference in her demeanour. Even as recently as March she had to be cornered and almost wrestled to get a halter on her, not good about being touched etc. But catching her daily to give...

I will do for sure. The vet is coming out next Wednesday. Rosie we will know that day, but for Wish (the welsh) I’m assuming it will take a couple days for the results. Unfortunately I’m pretty convinced she has it. Everything going on with her is basically a checklist for Cushings symptoms, but...
