    My Mare is Possibly Pregnant.

    Thank you! She’s the best impulse purchase I ever made lol she went from a feral little toad of a pony to an absolute sweetheart. And thank you, I was leaning towards silver bay too but a) I’m not very good at colours past the basics and b) I’ve never owned or seen a silver bay in real life. I...

    My Mare is Possibly Pregnant.

    @PitterPatter, do you find that some days Snickers looks pregnant and other days she doesn’t at all?! Rosie barely looks in foal today, though I do think her belly looks lower than it has recently. Do you have any new pics? Also, @elizabeth.conder, Rosie has a dark stripe along her back (didn’t...

    How are Tilly and baby doing today, Taz? Any name ideas?

    My Mare is Possibly Pregnant.

    What sort of names do you like? Human names or more “animal” names? Yes having Snickers’ trust will make a huge difference. Pitter Patter, do you feed Snickers separately from your other ponies?

    My Mare is Possibly Pregnant.

    Oh absolutely, Taz finally having a baby after all the months of Tilly looking ready, then not, then ready again just shows that they do things in their own time and not by the book! Definitely gives us hope that’s for sure (and prepares us for a long roller coaster of a wait!!) That’s so good...

    Ahhh!! Huge congratulations, Taz! So glad to hear all is well, especially after a red bag. Sending love 💙

    My Mare is Possibly Pregnant.

    Well said, Taz! That’s basically what I’ve decided to do! Pitter Patter, Rosie’s previous owner told me she had never been around a stud, though she came to auction with one (they also said she was a yearling which she wasn’t so I suppose I shouldn’t put too much stock into that). But, if she...

    Hopefully that was just practice for the real thing tonight!

    Just read on PennVet that curling of the top lip could be a good sign that this marathon wait will soon be over for you!

    I’m sure @elizabeth.conder would be a better source than me haha but isn’t it when they have actual milk coloured milk that they’re super close too?

    Don’t stress Pitter Patter, I remember before the vet came out I asked my farrier what she thought about Rosie and she said “nah she’s not pregnant, she’s just fat”. When you get your hands on her she’s not fat at all, she would be right where she is supposed to be.

    Thank you! I’ll give that one a try! It would be really nice to have some contact with the outside world when I’m in the barn regardless as we live in a valley so there’s no cell service unless you’re near the house (we have a cell booster).

    Ah that’s fantastic news! A new baby and a full night’s sleep is just around the corner, Taz!

    I would think that there’s a good chance Pepper is too then, as Snickers is and they’re from the same place and same herd - given that Snickers was obviously exposed to a stallion, if she and Pepper were in together then it stands to reason that the stallion got to Pepper too (though of course...

    Sorry Pitter Patter, I can’t remember off the top of my head, but did Snickers and Pepper come from the same place?

    Thank you :) I literally just plopped it up in a ponytail as it’s so poofy you can’t see her belly with it down lol Ah a braiding book sounds great! I used to love getting the horses all pretty for showing (haven’t done that in a lot of years though!)

    Her heart girth has remained the same from when she got clipped late April to now so I would hope that belly is more than just fat 😅
  19. Jodie

    Advise please on older broodmare

    Lol it’s nice to see evidence of it. When she was first clipped, she looked half the size that she was with her fluff and all the “the vet must have been wrong” thoughts were running rampant in my mind. But now she’s at the point where she actually looks bigger from the front and back than she...

    This is the picture, Taz. Same “you’re a crazy woman” glare lol but definite growth in the belly area! 3 weeks ago on the left, this morning on the right.
