Any guesses on when she'll foal?? Pics included

[ShaunaL]

So, here are some more pics of Tidbit. She is 314 days, long history of foaling 2 - 3 weeks early with minimal bagging and sneaking foals out in pasture when no one thinks she's ready. But not this year!

I don't have a lot of experience with evaluating readiness - do any of you think she could still go another 2 - 3 weeks??? At what point before foaling do your mares look like this?

She's been testing 85% foaling range on the Mother Nature's strips since Sunday AM. I stopped testing with the pool strips since she's been at 1000 hardness and much lighter orange than the lowest pH option 6.8 since Sunday as well.

Just wish I knew if I still have 2 weeks to go or if she looks like she's ready!

I personally would watch her like a hawk if you dont wanna miss it but when she is ready and the foal is ready to meet the world she will foal. Isnt all this fun....

I would say keep a close eye on her. She looks like she could go at anytime expecially if she is testing low on the pH. I dont think she will hold out for 2 weeks. Good luck!

I know, I sure wish they were like dogs, where you can pretty much know what day they'll whelp

I'm getting worried because I only have a week and a half left of vacation before it's back to the usual crazy work/kids in school schedule. I am really hoping she will foal this week or next.

I tested her a few minutes ago with the Mother Nature's strips. The top square turned dark red immediately and the bottom square was a yellowish green. Don't know what that means but I guess it means she's closer!

My guess is that she will foal within the next few days.
