[a mini dream come true]

Yes I know. I'm thinking her earlier stuff was just a tease. Looks like she has settled for the evening.

 

[cassie]

maybe the foal was in an uncomfortable position causing her to do those signs... just a guess... lol she is eating her dinner now

 

[a mini dream come true]

I've got to go to bed. It's another early morning for me. Safe foaling Amanda. See ya'll in the morning.

 

[Eagle]

How is she today hazel?

 

[a mini dream come true]

Hubby fed fo me this morning so no updates on udder. She haa been outside and doing good. Will update more when I get home

 

[a mini dream come true]

Got home just a little while ago. Delilah stayed outside until I got her stall clean and went to put fresh straw. IT"S WHEAT STRAW! still has some mature wheat heads on it. Now I know why she is always trying to eat her bed. There is more grain?

I will have to go out and shoo her out of the pen to get more exercise. No new developements in the udder. She had a good roll when I got home and tail head is looser. That's about it.

 

[AnnaC]

She looks really happy with her nice new straw bed Hazel LOL!! And yes, it looks as though you will have to get firm with her if you want her outside and taking exercise - put your foot firmly down and insist, tell her it is for her own good!!

I'm really getting excited as Delilah is now getting so close to foaling. I know that several mares have produced their foals already and we have a lot of new mares to watch over, but Delilah was always one of our 'originals' and is therefore special to those of us from the beginning of this Mare forum.

Come on Delilah - we need to see your baby!!

 

[a mini dream come true]

Thanks Anna, I'm not sure if she listened to our talk --ooppps there she is again

. I've been outside and left the gate open so she can get more exercise. But seems she likes the barn. We've still got the G---sons, so I told Dustin to spread her hay out around the paddock tomorrow instead of putting

it in her rack. She hasn't ate all of her pellets again tonight.. I'm going to leave her out a little while longer before I lock the gate. Just to see how long she will stay outside.

Well at least she is walking in and out that's some exercise

.

Her bedding looks so soft. I was going to get Laney some straw but I worry about her eating it. delilah is munching away right now.

 

[a mini dream come true]

Megan, this that I have is Wheat straw. Yes she eats it, but I don't think it will hurt her. I used to feed Wheat hay until I couldn't find it anymore. My horses did great on it and loved it.

 

[MeganH]

Your straw looks nice and soft! The kind we have around here is so hard and thick. Nothing like yours!

 

[a mini dream come true]

It's just what we got when we asked for beding straw. Not rally big, but not small either. I think we just got lucky. There is some wheat heads in it, but not many. That is what Delilah is eating and leaving the bigger stuff for her bed.

Delilah down sternal haing a snooze 10:28pm

 

[Eagle]

5.30am and she has just got up, she looked so relaxed and comfy in her super dooper bed

 

[MeganH]

8:15 am and Delilah is grazing away

 

[a mini dream come true]

The gate is open so she can go outside. Hubby is home. Silly girl. Guess i'll have to block her out when I get home for a while.

 

[Eagle]

12.40 and she is eating

I can see the foal going nuts
