Cindy foaling topic (and later Luna)(ex-weefoal tests?-topic)

[Chilam]

She is 251, 225 or 211 days.

She was in pasture with a stallion at spring. Because she came heat again I thought she wasn´t pregnant. But, she was last time in heat at september, sho she appears to show heat even she is pregnant. Vet checked her week ago because I have felt movement from her belly couple weeks and she has guite a belly.

Stallion I had in spring was his first season breeding.

This is Cindy´s first foal. She is not making any udder yet or giving any other signs. I already have camera in stall so if I want I can watch her whenever I want. But after all there is some waiting to go no matter how many days she already has.

 

Very exciting. She's very beautiful, and I can't wait to see what she's hiding in there!

Here udderpic. No udder yet, but just a liiitlebit soft tissue on front of udders. Not mutch, so I think zero for udder development.
Made nail test, it says filly for Cindy and colt for Luna. Time will show..

She wants sooo mutch attention. And she loves that I`m touching her belly, feeling baby move. She has always loved attention but she is even more to pet and hang out with than before. She eats her feed when I take horses to the stable at night, but she wont touch to her hay before I´m out, just wants to hang out.

I dont know what her udder usually looks like but I think there could be a little movement there - not easy to see from a picture of course so I may be totally wrong, but she also looks pretty advanced in her tummy size for a maiden mare even at 250 days. When exactly "in the Spring" was she with the stallion?

 

[Chilam]

She can be max 250 days. Before that no stallions nearby. Avatar (stallion) came 26.3 and they were on a same pasture right away. She was in heat at that time, 26-27.3 are the first days she was bred. Avatar is little smaller then Cindy too. I think she IS littlebit big for maiden, but she definately is maiden. I´m checking her udder etc at evenings now, and watching little with camera at later evening/night but im not staying up or taking sress wiht her yet. She seems to feel good, being pretty normal.

I think she definately has some soft tissue in front of her udder, just littlebit, but there is. Hard to think it would have anything to do with milk, udder etc yet, bacause she is not that far along. Maybe she is just fat (and perg of course).

It´s nice to read other topics here too, see other´s waiting too and see how it´s going on other ones. Hope beautiful, healthy little foals to all waiters!

 

That's what I was thinking too, Anna, about that tummy size for a maiden even at 250 days. But, she's looking good!

 

[Chilam]

I´ll hope she is at 250 days (252 now), so she would be less fat then if she is just like 210 days.

haha..
(and less waiting for me)

Just hope everything goes well (for everyone!), no matter when she foals. just learned to recors my cam pic, so maybe i´ll get it on tape this time.

I´ll let you know when something is happening. So when she is makin any progress.

As long as there is not progress, I´m just trying to get my camera to internet (so I can keep on eye her when not home, or someone elsa can). Now I atleast can use it, record and so on. I´m not very good wit that cam, but learning.

 

Well, be assured, "we" are located all around the world, so we're happy to help out watching for you! Because we're as excited as you are (and you KNOW I'm excited about these SPOTS!! )

Cindy is eating less hay now I think. Or atleast she is aeting slower than few days ago, but she is eating enough so no worry.

Nothing is changed. Udder, belly etc just same as before. I think i´ts good because there is so few days gone, she doesn´t need to show any signs yet. Aftr all, at the she should foal at febryary or later. At night she is lying down a lot, ang she looks huge when lying all over her side. Baby is quite active, almost every day feel it moving, some days less an sometimes it feels like training rodeo or something.

I have read all the topics here, now, again. It´s nice to read other ones foaling topics too. Very long days now whn I have been only home (sick, so not working for a week).

 

So sorry to read you've been sick. Hope you feel better soon.

So, I've been reading backwards, and see the earliest she could have been bred is March 26? That would be a February foal, and if she's this big now -- I can't wait to see her in a month or two! Such a pretty girl!

 

[AnnaC]

Hope you are feeling better today? As Diane says, I think that your pretty girl will soon join the ranks of what we call "beware, WIDE LOAD approaching"!!

 

[lkblazin]

Feel better soon

all of my co workers seem to be getting sick as well.

 

[Chilam]

I´m better. Pretty healthy, just ligaments on right ankle are little sore. Stepped badly week ago and they teared littlebit. No big broblem.

Juts came from the barn. Everything there ok. Some softness in front of Cindy´s udder, but no really udder or any visible development. day 215-255 about.

First pic 209 (249) and second today 215-255. Nothing happening.



Let´s see again after few days, or week or something.

Tomorrow I´m going to watch the hobbit moviaes, all three at the local cinema with my friends. All three hobbit movies on a row. Pheww, that´s going to be very long night, but we have been waiting this trilogy so we are going. I have couple freedays from work too for this (LOL, and last week I was on sicklave, one day working and "own freedays").

 

[lkblazin]

I love the hobbit series/ lord of the rings have fun. I am so excited to see the new one

 

[Chilam]

Crazy little babyhorse. I can feel and see movement on halfway of Cindys belly under belly, but from front of udder to the half way of belly to the front. That makes me think it may be more than 218 days now, like that 232 or 258 could me more like right... Littlebit of edema still front of udder, more than week ago but veeeery little.

 

The edema in front of the udder is a good sign. We'll all be watching to see it start to move back into the udder, once it gets done in front. All going very smoothly, and she's progressing as she should!

 

[Chilam]

Slight udder swelling this morning. Not mutch, maybe it´s back to "nothing" at evening. (had once before today too, and went back to nothing). Not mutch edema front of udder, just a littlebit, and the belly looks just same as before. Day 223, 237 or 263. (263 I think could be more right, because of huge belly, "things" with udder and clearly visible foal movement?)

My barn cam pic, she looks pretty.. big..

 

[Chilam]

There is not so mutch like party activity on her belly anymore. Pretty mutch single kicks, rolling or "some kicks". Not like bellybouce-party movement. Nothing new on what she looks, or the udder. Veeeeeryy slowly coming some little edema front of udder, but so very slow. I think i´m taking next photos like at the new year or something, if anythin radical does not happen. So it would be like 20 days from the last photos I have on my computer.

Here is a picture of her at september. (4-6 months preg) (just to see what she lookd like few months ago) and one barncam-pic today.

Cute pics. My girls rarely lay down, but when they do everyone needs to do it

 

She's looking good and it looks like baby is "rounding" her out! Just perfect.

And the "party" slowing down is just perfect. Baby is taking up more room, and that's what we would expect. All good signs.
