For me, it seems that in the last month of pregnancy I can't feel the foal kick or move hardly any, but I can certainly see and notice the shape of the mare's belly change when that foal shifts from side to side. I find that it seems to be 3 to 4 months before foaling when it is easiest for me to feel the foal move and kick and it gets much quieter the closer it gets to foaling. Again, that just may be me, but I suspect that since room is limited, the baby can't play as much in there.
So at about seven months, just about at feeding times, I give the mare a belly hug and place my hands on her belly just in front of the utter and gently hug the mare. (I don't want to squeeze too hard and scare the mare into kicking me!) This is when I can feel the baby push or kick back at me. You just have to be patient and try often. And of course most often the mare will grump at me if the foal kicks because I "woke up the baby!" laughs.

Well, I havent thought about it because I didnt know!
But I do have 3 options still about her pregnancy:
1. She is in foal from before I got her last Dec to a sorrel pinto stally due now through November.
2. She is in foal from February when we had the stally here putting her about 5 &1/2 months due January to a black and white pinto stallion.
3. She is in foal from May to a Stallion that I believe we said was a silver dapple? Putting her 70 days and due next April.
Given everything Yall tell me!

The breeding with the first stallion was never witnessed. She was pastured with him and another mare, from about June ( could be as early as april) - December when I got her. Thats why I dont know for sure about the breeding dates with him.
I can add pics of her from Dec so you can see her changes.

From that last pic of her from the side---looks like she has dropped some to me!
I am going with door #1 also and I would give her another 2-3 weeks as her bag does still have alot more filling to do
Though being maiden-she might not get more until she foals!!!
So if it was by the sorrel/pinto stallion, do you know if he was tobiano or sabino or what? What were his markings? Is Bonny a grullo or red dun? (I'm playing with the coat calculator
)

I think Bonny is a red roan/ or Bay roan. She may be going gray.
I didnt get a good look at the stally but my guess is sabino.
I was thinking she looked like she dropped some also. She is rubbing her tail head alot. Cant keep her tail braid in at all! Silly girl!
