Hi everyone! We had a bit of a break, but I will be putting Baile under camera hopefully tonight. I don't think she is ready yet, she still has a ways to go bag-wise, but figured we might as well start keeping a closer eye on her. Her name is CLC Baile Del Sol, she is ASPC/AMHR registered, a multi-national top 10 producer, and is currently in foal to MO Breaking News EDV, who is the sire to our 2 fillies this year. Mo is homozygous for black and carries agouti, so the foal should be bay or black. I did do the nail test on her and it says filly. So far the results are 2 out of 3 correct for the nail test, so I'm hoping this one is correct also!
Baile is 330 days on May 27th, although her average seems to be more like 336. Baile will bag up fully, have a teeny tiny bit of wax, which will go away within 1/2 a day or so, and then within another day or so later she will wax a lot (for at least 1/2 day+), then she will finally drip milk before foaling. She has done this for all of the foals she has had for me. So it's about a 3 day "process" for her from when I first see what I think is wax. So far Baile has been fairly pleasant. Something I have noticed is when she is in foal with a colt, she is NASTY mean. She will lay her ears on her head and threaten us any chance she gets. Her threats never go anywhere and us laughing at her just makes her more mad! LOL But with her filly last year, I noticed she was overall pretty pleasant, uncomfortable of course, but not her typical "I'm going to kill you" kind of self. So I am interested to see if this is a pattern with her. If it is, she will be having a filly, which is also what the nail test says. I don't of course care either way, healthy is most important, but her having a filly would put Mo at 3 for 3 for fillies!
Here is a picture of Baile and also 2 of Mo. The last one is a SUPER casual picture of him I happened to get while he was out talking to the girls...just love my Mo
The cameras are down today, but I will be getting them back up and running tonight. Unless I feel like she's close, this week I will turn her out during the day. Our weather is supposed to be beautiful until next weekend, so I would prefer to have her out and moving around instead of stuck in the stall, at least until she's closer to being ready.
