Hang in there Amy, she looks great and she is now giving baby what she couldn't give before due to her condition. Don't beat yourself up about not taking them all, you got Cinnamon out and we love you for that.
Her milk could just all of a sudden drop so continue to check her twice a day

She's come along wonderfully! Thank heavens you have her. I totally understand on the testing strips. I have the same kind, and they haven't changed. I just did what you did, only I also dipped it in baking soda water. yup, they work... It's been so frustrating. In your case, it's okay, 'cause baby is getting nutrition that it couldn't have before!

Y'all are such an AWESOME group!! *sniff* We really have tried with her. Obviously, she's a pretty easy keeper if she has improved this much within a month! Which just aggravates me all the more with the condition she was in. She's such a pert little horse, she has the cutest whinny, and she's gotten where she looks forward to your visits to the lot. She just started on her third sack of mare feed...so let's add that up: Life Design Mare & Foal, $19.50 x 3 = $58.50. Safeguard wormer: $10. Ivermectin: $9.00. Farrier: $20. Hay: (divided by three minis): $35. Beet pulp: (shared with old Dale): $15. Treats: (shared with EVERYBODY): $20. Initial vet visit (no problems, just for OUR wellbeing): $75.
So. This mare recovered from the condition she was in for under $250...that includes the sharing. So there is really no excuse!!
I hope she is improving, even with eating for two. The numbers tonight are both still high. Got a couple pics. Didn't do profile because she is still wearing her blanket.
Ike came up to eat...noticed he has a bo-bo. Got it cleaned and dressed. Was just a tiny little cut with this big of a mess!!
Scared me to death when I saw it. One of my daughter's mares (Tovero, not Tobiano) had a very nasty leg wound once. Took me over a month to get her right. I'll see if I can dig up pics of her.

These are sort of graphic too...this is daughter's precious Harley.
Here's when I first noticed it. You can see behind her other pastern where she had an injury there as well. We blame it on the darned barbed wire, but don't know for sure. said it couldn't have been more than 12-14 hours old. All he could do was give her a tetanus booster and show me what to put on it and how to wrap it.

This is a bad pic, but only one I really have of full body shot. Both of these mares are my daughter's.
Here's daughter and Dixie:

Thank you, Alana! It was a nasty one, and healed REALLY well.
I was sitting in my recliner, and glanced over to the monitor...that belly doesn't look forward to me anymore!!! Opinions? Or can you even see her that well?

AMY!! You have such a beautiful daughter!!! How cute is she???!!! The horses are all adorable as well!
That belly looks forward to me, but I dont know what I'm talking about! Lol Summer never really got a forward tummy, so it looks forward to me.

Oooooo that cut certainly is nasty - isn't it amazing how well those awful looking injuries heal through! Love the pics of your very pretty daughter and her beautiful horses, thanks for posting them.
Cant see Cinnamon's tummy very well in the pic on your screen, but she certainly looks as though she's getting closer from the pics you posted earlier. Can we get a full side on pic of her soon so we can see how that tummy is lying please?

Good morning y'all! No changes with Cinnamon this morning. Gobbled down her breakfast and promptly wanted OUT of her stall! Her numbers show no change. I will get y'all some new pics this afternoon.
Renee, for clarification, that was Ike's leg, not Cin's!! It was a tiny, tiny cut, but bled A LOT! He came thundering up to the fence this morning, so obviously doesn't hurt him!
Amara has grown so much since we took those pictures!! It's hard to believe how fast they grow. She's 12 now, and is my baby. The oldest is 19, and the middle one is 17. Amara has been pestering me to go riding, but it is so hard to find the time. When I was her age, I would disappear for HOURS on my horse. I wouldn't DREAM of letting her out of my sight...she's not quite as "horse savvy" as I was. My very first horse was a Shetland pony named Blondie (appropriately enough). I decided I was outgrowing her, so Santa brought me the most GORGEOUS Appaloosa when I was 7 years old. His name was Dusty. He died at the age of 33. There must have been 100,000 miles on that horse. He was my friend, my therapist, my heart!! Blondie lived to around 35. She was SUCH a character!

Oh sorry, I miss read. I know what you mean about being a horse mad kid. My first pony was called Mr Perkins and omg that poor pony, I would get mum to drop me off on Saturday and Sunday morning and I would spend the whole day there pestering him
If I wasn't riding him I would tie him up for hours and hours so I could plait him, bath him and just general scrub him until he was squeaky clean
I bet he would run round like a loony every Monday knowing he had a few days off

Ha ha!!! Gotta love our old ponies for the stuff they put up with!! I used to gallop my pony from one end of the field to the other. I was young and naive, (maybe 5 or 6) and my grandfather would be-bop out there in his old farm truck, telling me to cut it out, or else I was going to kill that little horse. I look back now and am HORRIFIED at how much we used to run. Bless her heart, her last twelve years or so, she never had anyone on her back, so maybe that made up for it.

Wow amazing how nicely the leg healed. I thought for sure with the weather passing us and heading your way, that Cinnamon would have had her foal. I got excited for a moment when I saw Eagles photo. I thought oh my gosh she had the baby, when I realize it was Eagle's pic. Cinnamon L@@@@@@@@@@K'S Amazing Amy. I have noticed in our local Craigslist ad for Houston, TX there is a guy and he is wheeling and dealing minis. He must be picking them up at the auction under $90 and re-selling them for over $350. My girls have not foaled either during this storms and cold spell. I have them at a friends stable up the road. It is foaling time for her Vanners and she is going to keep an eye on the girls for me. She sure is beautiful and a very lucky little horse that you two chose each other. Prayers for an amazing healthy,filly soon and an easy delivery for Cinnamon.
Here is something you might find interesting. Scroll down past the description to the first photo. You will see three colored orbs. One a large, transparent green, another a neon slimy colored green with yellow speckles in it and the other to the right of these is a fuchsia orb. They are classic fairy orbs and the guardian angels of these wild horses that are up for adoption this month. Amazing how they have their protectors too. https://www.blm.gov/adoptahorse/horse.php?horse_id=5757&mygalleryview=
Gotta run, I have a few minutes to get ready for work. Have a GREAT DAY!

Okay. Bad news first...
I left my phone in the car when I went to put Cin up for the evening and feed her...so no pics this evening. Shoot me now!!
Good news is that she has a streak of red in a very relaxed hooha! Her milk is slightly more yellow tinged than it has been being, amd it is sticky. She was also more generous with it this morning and this afternoon; I didn't have to work for that half cc at ALL!!
Bad news is that her pH is still waaayyy high, but I'll still be watching her closely tonight.
More bad news is the fact that I have a wedding tomorrow night, and I won't be home for a few hours. My mother would be in too much of a panic to be much help if something went wrong. If we kept her "busy" (grooming, brushing, etc) right before we put her in for the evening, could that possibly hold off her labor for a few hours? I mean IF something was gonna happen?
Anyway, I'm a worrywart. She may have another week or two! Or not.
