Different mare years ago lost hers and lasted 1 week and a half before foaling. NOT this mare. Sorry for the confussion. I was just wondering for anyone who has seen their mares loose their mucus plug, what is the LONGEST they went before foaling???? Because this mare I am concerned about has...

What is the LONGEST anyone has had a mare go before foaling after loosing her mucus plug? I had one in the past go about 1 1/2 weeks before foaling. I have a mare that is about 300 days right now. She was only bred one heat cycle but had a very long heat cycle(14 days). So if she took in the...

Well I have 3 this year. First one born on Easter Sunday. Tiny bay filly (331 days) out of Missy Doll is due next. And Reo she is just like your mare. She foaled 320 days first time, 315 days the second time and we are at 329 days right now and holding. Lucy is last but not least, is due...

First foal of the year. Mom's first foal and and is a great mom. It is a tiny bay filly and is she a pest. She was born on Easter. Has a 7" cannon bone. Spunky and loves people.

Very nice!!

Beautiful boy! And yes he is going to really color out. Can't wait to see what he looks like after his foal coat is gone.

So very sorry for your loss of such precious mare and foal.

Yes the PH that low means birth is very close. Never had it fail me yet. My guess is your mares calcium will rise right at time of birth. I predict you are going to have a foal in less than 24 hrs. But more likely in 12 hrs or less. I would watch her closely. Let her out for a little exercise...

Beautiful fillies!!! Love them both! And what an entrance into this world they made. Sounds like you had your hands full for a moment. Congrats!

I would say your mare has at least a week or more to go. But just so you know some mares can change over night and some do a gradually change. Since she is a maiden you won't know until it happens. But she does look like my maiden mare that is 309 days. And I think she has at least a week or...

It all depends. I have had mares that have had a FULL udder for a month and some that get it in a week. But one very good clue is when the udder turns shiney like you just polished it. Usually have a baby soon after that. But I am a firm believer in milk test strips.

I also think it would be a good idea for an "EVENT Calendar" forum. It would post upcoming events and would be easy to see. And from what I see people like easy and convenient. People would be able to click on each event and give info on or tell about it, and new comers would know what to...

I have used pool test strips for years and they work great. Aqua Chem 6 way test strips from Wal-Mart or any store that sells pools strips.

Mine have been for a couple of weeks now! Spring and foaling season are just around the corner!

That is a totally awesome story! I had a beautiful dappled silver black gelding that I sold to a girl with her parents permission and she sent me letters and pictures of her and her younger sister achievements with this gelding. Loved getting them. I think one of those pictures should be in a...

Gorgeous!!! Love her! Congrats!

Welcome to the exciting world of minis!! You will have access to very knowledgeable people here. Your guy is cute and can't wait till you post more pictures when he gets home.

I am going to get corn meal soon. Because the mounds are coming up fast all over the place. Love this idea and hope it works.

Did you check the paper(AMHR) to see if they signed on the back? Also you could send them a transfer with an addressed stamped envelope and a nice letter why you need this and asking them to please sign and return and hopefully they will send it back to you.

Just google Wee Foal test kit and it will give you places to purchase it from. That is what I did. I used it for the first time this last year on one mare. To collect I used a syringe (with out needle) put her in a pen by herself at night, because she always pees right when I get to the barn in...
