On a different topic, there has been absolutely zero change in Rosie. The more time goes on the more I think either a) the vet made a mistake 😅 or b) a little funny business happened on the way to/at the auction when she was in with the mini stud lol Another strange thing is happening though -...

Absolutely it would be a very worthy study to conduct! While I’m sure that breeders are very vigilant anyway, I imagine it would help to be more mentally and physically prepared if you were able to determine the likelihood of a red bag happening.

From what I have read, the most common causes of red bag deliveries are placental infections, fescue toxicity and stress. Obviously I am no expert, (any of you experienced ladies please feel free to correct me if I’m wrong!) but I don’t think that would mean there’s a correlation between the way...

I’m another vote for Theodore/Ted/Teddy! He’s an absolute darling!

I’m honestly starting to think maybe Rosie is just fat 😂

How exciting! I’m glad you managed to get some sleep last night. Come on baby, time to vacate!

Obviously I’m far from an expert but she looks a whole lot like a lot of pictures of mares I’ve seen right before foaling so 🤞🤞🤞!!! Nothing really new with Rosie Pudding, she just seems to be getting larger by the day and the edema in front of her teats feels bigger too. My mum is coming out...

Jeez, Tilly! It’s time to let us all see that baby you’ve been hiding, and for Taz to get a full nights sleep!

Holly your home looks wonderful! Beautiful animals, and woah the tortoise!!

That is a possibility for sure, and one that was mentioned by the vet within the realms of a false pregnancy, as in she could have indeed been pregnant and lost it prior to coming here, but her body/hormones continued to think she was indeed pregnant, causing the bagging up, producing milk etc...

Thank you! She and a beautiful bay mare were seized by animal protection back in January and a wonderful rescue ranch took them in, then I gave them their forever home.

Lol I definitely remember that well while breastfeeding! Being out in public hearing a baby cry and my body thinking “ooh we need to feed the baby!” 😂 That’s crazy that you still get that! Your mama instinct must be very strong! As for Pepper, it will definitely be interesting to see if she is...

Pitter Patter, I agree they look very similar! Rosie was confirmed in foal by an external ultrasound back in March. My vet is very experienced with full sized horses but said that she’s not so good with mini pregnancies but gave a very rough guess of around June/July. I’m leaning more towards...

I’m going to hazard a guess and say that Snickers and Rosie are at about the same stage, which doesn’t help much as I don’t know when Rosie was bred haha but I have had her for just over 9 months now. Pepper I really don’t know. Sympathy symptoms are apparently a thing - I had my vet out to preg...

That would be wonderful, thank you! Like I said, I know she has a very long way to go yet, but being that this is my first foal and that my horses are all my babies, I worry and notice the slightest little things. I thought my human children were going to be the ones to give me grey hairs, but...

😂😂😂 Thank you Taz! I’m honoured to be a part of the Loony Lady Gang haha! @elizabeth.conder your girl was a maiden wasn’t she? Did you have a similar experience with her udder development?

I suppose I should have added some pictures to try and show what I’m meaning (though of course it’s hard to get pictures to show exactly what I’m seeing in real life 🤦‍♀️ ) I know she has a long way to go yet, but I’m just wondering if this a normal part of the process. I thought the bag was...

I could use some help if that’s ok? Rosie’s udder is definitely changing though it isn’t filling as such yet. What would be her actual udder bag used to be tight skin tucked against her if that makes sense, but this morning it has folds in it, almost like it’s a bit saggy, is that normal in...

Wow she looks like she’s dropped from previous pictures!

Aww he’s adorable! Huge congratulations 🥰
