    Hello all! I'm looking for a little bit of advice about my lil potbellly girl..

    Yeah it is hard to tell with the pictures from behind. If she has never had a baby, she could be hiding the pregnancy. If she will let you, put both hands around her belly. Your hands should lay against her belly in front of her milk bar. You may feel a flutter or a small kick if pregnant...

    Do I blanket the baby?

    Our temp got down to 30 degrees, our filly (born Friday 13) was shivering with one blanket. Put another blanket on her. Went ahead and put a blanket on the colt (two days older), just to be safe. Tonight is supposed to be in the 30's. Put one blanket on filly. Colt has no blanket. His coat is...

    Hello all! I'm looking for a little bit of advice about my lil potbellly girl..

    Can you take a picture broadside and from behind at her level. The head on picture is a little off but her stomach does look lopsided, indicative of being in foal. If she has foaled before, getting fluid from her nipple is not always a telltail sign. If she is pregnant and over 6 months, you...

    That was quick. You just got her up to you the other day, right? He's cute and congratulations on a healthy baby.

    Here's a couple pictures of a little break in the crazy weather for turn out. She has one ice blue eye and the other is dark blue. Next up is Fabs. She is 333 days today. Still needs to fill the milk bar more.

    Wooo Hooooo! We have a buckskin (probably LWO+) filly out of Rain (black) and by Magic Mans Top Ticket (smoky black LWO+ sabino). She foaled about 6:30 am. I was guessing baby would be black, but nope. She has a bald face, white on all four legs, and white in her tail. Not sure if she has any...

    We were able to let out for a little while. He definitely has two blue eyes.

    Puzzle kept waking me up between 2-7 am. She was very restless. After I went into the house I went out to the barn a couple times and nothing. At 8 am I went out to do chores and checked on her first. She was laying sternal. Watched her for a minute and realized she was having contractions. I...

    Surprise, Candace is pregnant

    Usually you can transport 30 days before foaling, some say doesn't matter. If she has already foaled before moving, definitely put her and baby together loose and separate from other horses. For a four hour trip, I would wait a couple weeks before transporting.

    Surprise, Candace is pregnant

    Most likely! Mares usually bag up in a six week span, unless they are mine. I would figure out a way to keep an eye on her at night as she gets closer. Some minis can have problems and may need assistance. I sleep in our barn at night. It has been cold and our barn is not heated. Had to...

    Well our four mares over 300 days have decided to race to the end. They are all progressing and almost tied. Her are milk bar pictures. Our weather has been a pain. We had three days of almost constant rain, than one sunny day. Now we are expecting rain today and possible a rain/snow mixture...

    Thanks everybody. This foaling season has been rough. Still have four mares over 300 days and three that will be 300 towards the end of April. Hopefully we start getting better results with the remaining mares.

    Hello all! I'm looking for a little bit of advice about my lil potbellly girl..

    Hard to tell especially if she has had foals before. Since she could possibly be over five months, you may be able to feel baby. If she lets you, wrap your hands around her belly. Your hands will meet in front of her bag. Lay your hands flat against her belly. You should be able to feel bumps...

    Well, Sassy had a red bag and we were unable to get a black colt out in time. Then she prolapsed, so we had to euthanize her. ? RIP Sassy and baby!

    Hello all! I'm looking for a little bit of advice about my lil potbellly girl..

    Is there any chance she may be pregnant? Otherwise pot bellies usually mean worms (in some cases) or lack of protein.

    Does she look in foal?

    Oh by the way, I was close. I told you back on the 9th, you would have a baby within a week. She foaled 7 or 8 days later. I'm good, just not on my mares.?

    baby Oliver

    The hair on his four legs is so white, I wonder if he may have four white socks. Do you know the color of the sire?
