So sorry I forgot to come back and post about our vet visit. She checked out to be just fine! She is just very unhappy and wants that baby out! Lol

Oh Oh! I meant that I thought the baby being super far and hidden was concerning lol I am hoping everything is all good. She is very very irritated. She does not want to be touched anywhere on her body as if she's very very sore. This is her first baby with us and have been told with her other...

Hello I am back with more pregnancy posts! Please read. I do not remember if I've posted about our other mare Tilly being bred last year. She went out to have a rebreeding after missing the previous year. She was gone during the time Pearl had her colt Val. Anyways! This mare has been keeping...

His name is currently pending, it will be SRS Highly Addictive.

We are beginning and have lots to learn but we would like to show him in the different halter classes first. He is ASPC only. His mother was not double registered. She is ASPC only also. The little man is about 2months in this photo and dirty lol!

It's been a while since I've posted about Pearl's colt! He's 3 months in the pics. We love him but since he is our first shetland to ever show I hope we're not being blind! Would love to hear opinions good or bad ( as that's how we learn!) We are going to get him out next year as a yearling. We...

Hey guys! We are wanting to start our girl Tilly on cart and in halter, but she only has one eye. When the time comes, can she be shown in registered or really any shows with just one eye? I'm assuming halter may be a no go in registered classes but I could be wrong. She is a very pretty girl...

The wait is finally over! Beautiful big black colt born about 12:30pm ❤️❤️

Maybe the pH strips were not faulty and she was just reading high till tonight. Shes been reading at about a 7.2 for this past week and now shes at a 6.4 which is the lowset this strip reader will go. Maybe a baby tonight! 🤩 Super excited. She's been very quiet and hiding in the lean-to all day...

Well it is now June and she is killing us. She is about 354 days along now and still no lil guy! The baby is very angry tonight and doing a ton of rolling and bouncing around. Her udders have gotten larger and quite tight. Her pH is still reading too high but I had to get new test strips and I...

We are getting there! Going to be starting the sleepless nights here very soon. She will be 343 days along tomorrow. Her pH is dropping pretty quick all of a sudden. I'm thinking maybe around the weekend 🤔 though she could still be holding on even longer lol Her pH 2 days ago was still showing...

Took a photo of her bags at dinner time and then another before going to bed and this is how much they've changed 🤔 hopefully they stay like this and she stops with the deflating😂

335 days today! Got some interesting changes 🤔 I can definitely say how she was last foal vs this one is very different. She's had fluid from her udders for about 20 days now but still barely any filling of the udder. Still clear/amber. pH is still testing about the same somewhere around 7.4...

Still nothing :( though we do have some odd changes. I was just about to post an update.

I will try to remember to keep posting on this thread about Pearl's changes and incoming baby! That way I'm not making a ton of random new threads! Lol. Here is her doing a morning roll. You can zoom in and get a bit of a better look at her bag size in the photo too!

Pearl is nearing 330 days! I've been studying photos from last foal and comparing them to this incoming foal. Pearl did not fully bag up till about 3 days before foaling last time. It seems likely she will do the same this time around. I've started pH testing her and here are the results from...

So I made a post a few days ago about Pearl having some questionable discharge and thankfully it has all cleared up! Today while I was checking her over I noticed what looked like a small wax plug. I grabbed my phone to take a better look thinking it could be dirt but nope! It was indeed a...

There is no blood. And yes she was confirmed in foal last year before we brought her back from the stud. She should be about 310 days along and we are still seeing baby movement.

Hello again! So Pearl is about 310 days along now! I can't remember if I announced in an older post or not but Tilly is 100% not prego, darn mare. Anyways Pearl is showing a lot of signs of possibly coming a bit early besides having any udder development. Last time she had a foal with us she...

Pearl is doing good and has a fair amount of baby movement! She will be in the safe zone of 300 days at April 11th but shouldn't foal hopefully till May 6th which is 320 days. To me she seams pretty done with it and may foal early. Tilly is very questionable still. I personally am sure she is...
