April / Delilah / Vernica's Foaling thread Cam Up

[a mini dream come true]

Nothing new with Delilah. I'm still guessing. April has started her shopping, but has quite a ways to go. Hoping to get the stalls fixed so I can move the camera and have both on cam.

No rest this weekend, no sleep last night, so I'm hitting the hay

. I'll try to post pics tomorrow. Son Rise is really looking good and I think a perfect example of country pleasure posture. If I have my classes right.

Hope everyone has a great evening/day.

Which mare do ya'll think should be on cam?

Miss Delilah taken today at day ? or Miss April at day 281, who had a late abort last year

Udders are about the same on each mare. And here is a pic of my lovely Delialh. I love her so much

and a partial pic of the new barn

Still need to install the divider and move the cam so we can have two on cam at once.

I like your new barn, I'd love one like that.

 

[a mini dream come true]

Thanks Chanda, It is going to be for two foaling stalls. We have electricity for it. I'm just glad to get it up. Hoping to get it finished so we can move the two mares over there before going to the show, is we have time. We'll see how it works. I'm really thrilled to have this much finished.

 

[Charlotte]

My bet is on April, but then I don't know which mare has had the most foals or which is bigger (taller) and such as that. Miss April looks more ready to me.

There is nothing I like more than a new barn. Well, maybe except for a new foal.

 

[a mini dream come true]

Delilah has had at least one foal and is 33.75" tall. April has had at least two foals and is 30" tall.

 

[cassie]

hmm gosh I don't know Id say both LOL so tell that son in law to be to get it finished hehe I think you might have two foals very close in age which is good

they will be playmates right from the start

 

[cassie]

hmm yeah good idea Diane

by the way Hazel your new camera is brilliant love that face pic of Delilah!! just gorgeous!

 

[a mini dream come true]

April's baby was playing kick ball or something in there this evening. I felt sorry for April, you could see her belly jumping around all over the place.

Thanks Cassie, I had to try some new shots.

 

[a mini dream come true]

Yes she does. I was taking pics and she kept following me so I thought. face shots. We need face shots to show off her beauty.

As you can see I moved April under the cam and moved Delilah to another stall. April is saying "Thank goodness I'm in my stall! Now I can butt rub and scratch." This was April's original barn when she came to live with us.

 

[a mini dream come true]

The other stall I don't think had a pole stable enough to suit her for rubbing. She had way more hair than Delilah and I've been trying to brush it all out. I'm thinking the clippers may be easier. That's what I did last year.

 

[a mini dream come true]

I know. I'm going my gosh, I'm glad there are no rough edges. she would cut herself to pieces. I think I'll go back out and take her halter off, just in case.

 

[a mini dream come true]

April loves to be brushed. She follows us around anytime we are out there and loves brushing. The grandsons love to groom her and she eats it up. a real in your pocket girl.

 

[AnnaC]

Well with all your grooming work plus her butt rubbing Hazel, April is looking pretty smart and tidy now. LOL!!

What a gloriously round tummy she has there too - how's she looking with her bag etc?

 

[LittleBittyBritches]

What beautiful mares you have! Looking forward to seeing what they produce!

 

[Eagle]

wow Hazel that pic is gorgeous!

2.00am she is eating, Hazel what has happened at bottom of her stall wall? has she kicked a hole?

 

[a mini dream come true]

I'll check when I get home. There is a a spot that has wire over it.

 

[Eagle]

Thanks it might just be the light I am not sure.

 

[a mini dream come true]

Thanks Btiches. I'm pretty excited to see the foals, but mommas keep cooking.

Renee, You were probably seeing the spot that I have chicken wire over to give ventilation at the bottom.

Updated pics on April Her hooha looks pretty long

It's dark red inside, but I'm not sure if that is from her being close or because her hooha is dark anyway.

Here is April's bag this evening

She has as much as Delilah has had for weeks. and the other shot

So what do you girls thing? Still at least a couple of weeks? Delilah still looks the same, no changes there

 

[a mini dream come true]

I think she wore herself out last night with all the rubbing

. Eariler she was pacing in circles. Maybe she got dizzy

I'll get the new pics tomorrow. That's why I asked about putting her in there

just a feeling.
