I figgin to too. Need a bit of shut eye I do yessiree indeedy. Happy foalin to _______? I think Raven is a gonna foal afore the rooster crows! Nite all!

Diane, have you been sharing your happy pills?

1.52am and Delilah is stood in her corner looking gorgeous as ever

I see her hay rack has gone.

I am crossing my fingers for you and Vernica

 

[a mini dream come true]

Good morning everyone,

Thanks Renee.

Vernica is a suprise if she is

. I took the hay rack out because I was worried about the foal getting under it and not being able to get out. Sounds like Delilah had a quiet night. We had some rain

:HappyBounce . I'm glad it didn't bother her.

Cassie, your cleaning spree has rubbed off. Either that or I'm doing the nesting for Deiliah

:rofl

My computer room looks good this morning. It was a total wreck yesterday. I better get ready for work and feed so I'll check in this afternoon.

With the weather like it is I'm going to leave Delilah in the small run today, so If ya'll see anything that needs my attention, please call. I can pull the Marestare message boad up and check it periodically through out the day.

Everyone have a wonderful evening/day. and Thanks for watching my girl.

 

[a mini dream come true]

We have a little improvement in bag size.

I know she is not really loose, but I want to see if they delete this pic

And we have a pic of April who is due in May. The foals may be playmates and close to the same size and age yet

Sorry Ladies, I don't know how to rotate it yet on Photobucket. Guess I should have done it before uploading it.

See we are beginning to get a little bit of green

 

[a mini dream come true]

Yep! youre right Diane all you have to do is look at my avitar. That's my Juan 29 1/2" Falabella blend. Sorrel Pintoloosa.

Here is a better pic with my granddaughter Amber

Great temperment and very photogenic (the stallion not the girl)

:rofl

:rofl

I don't know she looks pretty photogenic to me, and anyone who poses so nicely wiht a mini must have a great temperant.

 

[cassie]

he is lovely!

and your Grand daughter is gorgeous

what a poser!! lol

YAY that is great about April she is beautiful! it would be lovely if Delilah n April both had their foals pretty close together LOL not good for you of course but good for both babies =D

 

[AnnaC]

When is April due? Just wondered because I think that Delilah has possibly another 3 weeks to go before she foals (judging on her udder) and April foals early...........................................you could have two little ones fairly close in age?

I just love your little boy - g/daughter looks pretty good too!!

 

[a mini dream come true]

Good morning everyone,

Just catching up. You know the photo for Juan isn't very flattering. It makes him look all out of porportion (sp). Anyway.

Chanda, Amber is a very sweet young lady. Thank you for the compliment. I'm pretty proud of all My grandchildren.

April is due the 28th of May. She is the one that lost the foal last year. Here's hoping for a better end this year. Anna I've been thinking about that too. Cassie, Diane said that Falabella'scan go longer than American mini's so it's possible. And you're right I will be pulling my hair out. :arg! . But as long as they are all healthy that is the most important thng. Got to get ready to feed and work. Everyone have a Great Day/evening..

 

[Eagle]

You too Hazel

Your granddaughter and Juan look great to me

 

[cassie]

Morning hazel how are your girls today?

 

[a mini dream come true]

They are doing fine Cassie. April decided to be hudinini last night and open her gate. Went out this morning and she was hiding fairly good in the dark, but not quite good enough

:rofl . I felt like a nut out there calling her like you do a dog and expecting her to come running

:rofl

:rofl . That was not going to happen

:rofl

. She just about looks bigger in the belly department than Delilah. Delilah has more udder.I felt April's foal move. Delilah hasn't increased her udder any, but it's not smaller, so that's good. She has had several good rolls since I got home and a little flemming. Seen Delilah's foal moving around. That's about it.

Bet you're glad to have Mom and Dad home. Bet they're glad to be home too.

 

[a mini dream come true]

Good evening Ladies. Not much change in Delilah, but look what April has done in five days

Taken 3-18-12

and taken today

this is her udder

I'm worried she might foal early

according to my calculations she is only 276 days. Tell me what your opinions are. I did brush her out after I put her up to get rid of some of the loose hair.

 

[Eagle]

How tall is she Hazel? she looks smaller than Delilah and the smaller girls carry bigger so I wouldn't worry about the size of her yet, remember Odette has been getting a shopping bag and she isn't due until May.

1.45am and she is eating her hay

 

[cassie]

WOW what a change! she sure is preggo LOL I agree with Renee, keep an eye on her and see what she does... is there any possible chance she could have been with the stallion earlier??

2:05 am Delilah is standing in her corner

 

[a mini dream come true]

Good morning ladies

, April is 30" so she is quite smaller than Delilah and she is due May 28th. I hand bred April last year so I would have a good due date. She was only bred for the the one time, three days in a row. Cassie, There is always a possibility, but I was trying to be very careful, because at first I wasn't going to breed at all.. Thanks Renee, little ones do carry heavier, I'd forgotten. It was just such a suprise to see that big a change in five days.

I'm thinking like you Diane

:run the race is on. The only foaling history I have on April is that she had a foal in 2010 It got in some water somehow and drown. Last year her foal was early.born during the day, did not get out of the sack and everyone told me it was a late abortion. That's why I am watching all her progress so closely. Everything should be fine, but you never know.

Update!!! Delilah is maybe feeling the pressure, she increased her bag size last night.Maybe she'll hold it today. She is out for the day and already had a good roll this morning and back to eat breakfast.

Everyone have a good day/evening.

 

[vickie gee]

April does seem to be moving right along.....seeing her udders I just have to ask does she give both regular milk AND chocolate milk?

 

[a mini dream come true]

April was kind of like Granada. No foaling signs and we guesstimated about a month early. the cannon bone was 5 1/2" . Of course that's if I measured right. It was a filly and her head was out of proportion to the rest of her body.

Vickie, I'm not sure, but will let you know

when she gets milk.

Don't tell Delilah, but if April keeps up I may just have to splurge on another camera. OOHH and don't tell hubby

:rofl

He's the one that might throw a fit

:rofl

 

[AnnaC]

Whoops, I got a bit muddled there Hazel - put it down to my tired old brain, but when I read what you had written I did a double take!! "" she's due May**, I hand bred April to get a certain date"" or words to that effect. I seriously had to consider whether April or May came first on the calendar!! And you lot wonder why some of my posta are often a bit strange LOL!!

So it looks as though you might have a race on your hands if Delilah doesn't hurry up and have her baby (and Hubby having a fit at the thought of yet another cam link!) Dont worry too much about April - she has YOU keeping an eye on her this time, so she and her baby will be fine!!

 

[Eagle]

Don't worry Anna, I had to think twice too

Hazel how many days did you calculate to get April's due date?
