Praying for a safe and uneventful foaling of a healthy little one. Can't wait to hear!

 

[blazingstarranch]

Good morning! No news yet, she's waiting for just the right moment. You know, the moment that only she knows. The moment when no one is looking...

 

[LittleRibbie]

O.K. No ones looking...you can have it now!!!

 

[Eagle]

Not looking

 

[AnnaC]

No peeking here either!!

 

I'm not looking.................much~!

 

[LittleRibbie]

Too funny !!!

 

[blazingstarranch]

Well folks, nothing to report yet except that she is quieter and has lost her appetite. That's concerning because all our other mares just hoovered their feed up no problem right up until minutes before foaling! Any thoughts?????

 

[Eagle]

Each horse is different so I wouldn't worry about it

 

[AnnaC]

A lot of mares go off their feed in late pregnancy - the foal is pretty full sized by then and there is not much 'stomach' room available. Try giving her a few very small feeds to see if she will cope, but as long as she is getting plenty of grass/hay to nibble at plus her minerals and vitamins, she wont come to any harm.

 

[blazingstarranch]

She barely touches her hay, just a few nibbles, and just a few nibbles of grain. Her food looks like it hasn't been touched at all. I'm hoping tonight is the night, I worry too much I know, but we just want everything to go well!

I am hoping for you!! How about some new photos, when you have the chance of course! I am praying for a safe and easy delivery!!

 

[LittleRibbie]

Sending prayers for a safe delivery....your not worrying too much....your just being cautious and a good horse mommy

 

[eagles ring farm]

any news? ...prayers for a safe foaling

 

[blazingstarranch]

Trixie, ah Trixie. I have no news to report at all. If anything, she looks less pregnant now! I saw baby kicking a week ago so I know she is preggers. Milk testing at 7.8 to 8. Her udder is nothing to write home about. She's driving me bonkers!!!

 

[LittleRibbie]

Oh you poor thing...why of why do they make us wait like this....I feel so sorry for ya!!

How about some pics?
