You don't have a camera up right? They will probably be hard to catch, they like to wait till you aren't looking and/or pause when you show up. If you can peek between boards or around corners or something like that you might have a chance of being there when the foal is actually born. If they...

She's adorable even at the ugly duckling phase. I had a wonderful 'old man' who I bought as an ugly duckling who grew into a gorgeous boy. Her neck being set on low is the only thing I would have looked twice at but I ride dressage and am used to a higher head set. That said I have one who has a...

Congratulations!! So happy everyone is doing well. She looks bay to me from those pictures. Can we have more pictures please when you get a chance? So cute!! 🥰

I'm so relieved she's home and well. I hope having her home will give you some peace and let you start healing along with her, hugs

How's your mare doing??

Sounds like she's good to go when she feels like it. Good luck on everything going well, looking forward to seeing pictures of a healthy baby and mom soon 😁

Just an idea with having to keep her blanketed. Can you make the belly straps really snug and take off the leg straps?

How's she doing this morning?

You got a bonus mini 😂. Have you had any foals before? There's lots of info on the breeding forum if you need it. If your little guy is 4 and still a stud you might want to start figuring out how to put him and the mare side by side until after he's gelded, he can breed her after she foals. I...

I'd keep her blanketed and keep hay in front of her, I'm voting for cold....probably? Maybe a second blanket if it's going to be cold tonight. If she's not rolling, sweating, breathing hard, etc I wouldn't think it was labor but keep a close eye on her. Labor should only be 1-4 hours about...

Basic stress indicators are turning the head away, turning the eyes away without moving the head, tightness in the muzzle and around eyes if your close enough to see. If you ignore this they will then turn away completely and/or move away from you. Basically it's small things that mean they are...

I've done those methods and they work but rewards(treats) work faster and better as well as seeing and responding when they show stress indicators. Turning head away, looking away without moving head, etc. I've found it's more about connection, teaching and asking than controlling like round pen...

Smart man😂 How long have they been showing changes? Can you move their tales to the side and get a pic to show if they are elongating? They are both maidens I think so the hope is they will follow the book. I hope you have another 3 weeks to go with them, if not are your kids and husband up on...

She doesn't look like she's hiding it to me 😁. She's lovely. I have to ask.... Are you set up for foaling? Do you have a camera up to watch her at night? Have you done this before? If not have you read up on it and watched videos? You can't be too prepared :)

I'm so very sorry. There was nothing you could have done and what you did saved your sweet girl. 💔

They're definitely doing something but don't look ready yet. Are they elongating? I won't ask to see your pics but how close are you? It could be a race to the finish line! Your husband does know better than to tell you you're fat doesn't he?? Thank you, we need a bit of comedy relief right now...

She's where she will get help, you did the right thing to take her there. 🙏 🙏 🙏 🙏 🙏 🙏 🤞 🤞 🤞 🤞 🤞 🤞

Didn't check in until too late. You need a vet. Any updates? 🙏 🙏 🤞🤞

The one side looks like it's thicker to me. I would guess the white dots are dirt/mud, I've seen that in my pictures before.

You were there when Poncho was gelded? If it keeps happening you can just split them again. The older one (what's his name?) might be happier with friends over the fence and not in his paddock, some are. I knew a small pony who was perfect when he was out with big horses but beat up the little...
