Again, I am confused....

[Bonny]

How far along is your mare Crescent? Is she a maiden?

 

[CrescentMinis]

I don't know for certain. I am in the pulling hair out stage now, kind of like you

at least Bonny is making progress!

I have a thread here called "Waddling mare" looking for input, that has a couple of current pictures. I have some doubts as to whether there is a foal at all these days, but weeks ago I was positive the movement I saw had to be baby.

 

[Bonny]

I will check it out and see what I can do to help you out!

So Bonny--what's the latest on our Bonny girl

 

[Bonny]

The latest is miss bonnys udder is swelling again and I could even see her bag from between her legs from behind for the first time! It was only a little piece but still progress!

So anyway tell me what yall think of these pics today. Pretty PLEASE!!!

WOW!! You bet that bag is growing!!!! Yippppeeeee!!!!!!

GO BONNY, GO BONNY, GO BONNY!!!!!!!

 

[CrescentMinis]

Definitely making progress! I can see a difference from the earlier pictures.

 

[shelly]

YUP, bag's definitely getting bigger

Have you been able to see/feel anything yet other than that "mystery bulge" the other day? I'm quite positive that was the foal turning around!!

 

[Bonny]

I still havent felt movement. Bonny was wide today also.

I am anxious to see if her udder is bigger tomorrow.

 

[shelly]

Very wide indeed!!!

That baby must be laying sideways in there

Still curious why no movement seen or felt though---must be a very laid-back foal coming!

 

[Bonny]

I guess I am never there at the right time. Ho Hum.

Bonny probably tells it "be still here she comes...again!"

 

[luv2ridesaddleseat]

LOL! I bet you're right Bonny!!

I went up and snuck a hug with my Cookie Monster yesterday!! OMG, I miss her SO MUCH!!!!

I'm thinking of you and Bonny!

 

[Bonny]

I took some tummy pics of Bonny today and some croup shots. Just to update.

Also she did some tail rubbing.

To me her tummy is weird shaped. wondering what yall think.

Looks like baby is all on one side...tail rubbing could be from pressure from baby, bug bites, a tick in there somewhere? Anyones' guess really...Shadow and Sahara are both still rubbing every couple of weeks. I put that MTG stuff on when they start and they will stop for a week or so then start again! OH!

How's the paint mare doing with her pregnancy?

 

[Bonny]

Bonnys udder is not as big today as the last 2 days.

Sometimes I feel like giving upon her! OH!

My vet said he now has a rectal probe so he can US her internally. So hopefully next week he can come out. He is out of town this week.

I dont care when she foals, I just want to be prepared. Not knowing if she is due or not, if she is bred from Feb or May or before I got her is soooo confusing. One day I think she looks due then the next I swear she is only 2 months along.

Mini Mares are such a mystery!

My Paint mare is doing really well. She is really protective of Bonny and I. She likes to herd us and yesterday when Bonny was laying down sleeping Shy was standing guard. I know this is pretty normal herd stuff but its so neat to see it.

Its funny to see a 15.2 hh mare guarding a 35 inch mini, like its her foal.

Shys tummy is getting big and I know these mares are looking forward to fall as our weather is so hot and we still have August to go.

In the meantime I will keep watching miss Bonny, I hope the vet can US her soon.

 

[luv2ridesaddleseat]

Good News on Shyanne, Bonny! It's so much easier when you know when they are due!

In the mean time, all you can do is peek in on Bonny as often as you can, and hopefully your Vet can come out and give you some sort of Idea when she is due!

MY COOKIE IS HOME!!!!! She looks so much better after being gone only 10 days! She has shaped up and lost some weight! Now to keep it going!!!!!!

 

[Bonny]

Thanks Joyce.

Glad you have Cookie Monster

back home! Is she still standing for the stally?

 

[luv2ridesaddleseat]

She was bred just before we put her on the trailer to come home, so yes! I think we are going to try her again on Thursday if Shelly has time. Her mare is also standing for him!

 

[shelly]

YUP, Mocha is still standing for Joey and I will breed her every morning until she won't!

Joyce, you are more than welcome to bring Cookie over EVERY night until she won't stand TOO! I wouldn't want to miss her egg dropping on the off night! We can do 6 PM every night if you want too, just say the word!!!

I am going to try and get a bath and trim on Joey before I post better recent pics of him, but I promise to introduce him soon-properly!!!!!

 

[luv2ridesaddleseat]

I'll be over tomorrow at 6:00!

I agree with getting that dirt off Joey! He's going to look spectacular after a bath and grooming!!

Bonny, I'm sorry you are on such a roller coaster ride. I sure wish I could help you more.

Maidens are hard enough from what I've read even when you know their breeding date. You are so attentive to your horses, you will know when the time is close. Bonny is so lucky to have you!
