Congratulations!!! A filly and buckskin at that! Yeah, where are those spots?? LOL

Waiting..........

Wow! I don't know how they are still keeping those babies in!

Wow! Those udders look 'ready to foal' to me! Good luck with them and I hope to see some spotted baby pics in the morning!

Sounds like there will soon be a foaling frenzy at On Target!

Sounds like it will be soon! Can't wait to see pics of a little spotted baby!

A 'bag' is a mare's udder. The term 'bagging up' is when the udder starts to fill prior to foaling.

Diane, I've given her a pep talk. Since she's past 300 days now, it's ok to start really progressing! Viola, you just never know what any given mare is going to do. Some go early and some go late and some go anywhere in between. I wish I had the magic to predict when mares would foal. I...

Here's Dream today at 303 days gestation. These pics don't look a lot different than the last ones, but I can feel more filling today. I'd really like for her to foal before I leave for a horse show a week from today! I told her she could progress now.

An update today. Dream has a little more udder development this morning. First time noticeable in several days. I will take my camera to the barn and take some new udder pics before I turn her out.

Looks like you're going to have some foals here pretty soon! Can't wait to see your spotted babies!

Ok, Mary. That's the battery I was talking about. I know those can make the systems not function correctly if that battery is getting old. Hope it keeps working correctly for you and it pretty much takes a back up system to foal these mares out!

Mary, does your Equipage have an internal battery? If so, it may be on the blink and that will cause the system to not function properly. You can take the cover off the repeater and disconnect the battery. It should work properly after that. My Equipage has been in for repair for a month...

No big changes in Dream yesterday or today so far. I'll update as she does something interesting.

Oh, no! I'm so sorry to hear that. Susan bred some awesome horses during her years as a miniature horse breeder. May she rest in peace and her contributions to the breed will be forever more.

Yep, Diane, Galaxy has a pretty good record for throwing color. He's already sired a black, blanket colt this year. Mary, I have your cam up and will watch it as much as I can. The not laying down flat out is a good sign she's getting close. Such a pretty mare! Can't wait to see her foal!

Mary, keep a close watch on your mare. I've been fooled by maidens in the past that didn't have what most would consider a normal udder. It can be small and even stay in two halves, but if it starts to get firm, they can and will foal. Anna, Regumate won't cause any problem using it even if...

Here are some new pictures of Dream from today. One side shot and a couple more udder pics. I obviously need a steadier hand when taking pics from underneath! LOL

Dream didn't make any major changes last night. Her udder had gone down yesterday during the day. Maybe caused by moving her to a different paddock. Closer to the barn. Udder came back up some overnight. I will take some body shots of her today.

Anna, very good point you brought up. Dream was actually bred through two cycles. However, the vet ultrasound dates last summer coincided with the second set of breeding dates, so I can only assume she is the gestation length I have posted. As Mary pointed out, Regumate won't keep her from...
