I know Delilah is preggers and it's stillnerve racking waiting not knowing when

Lol at least you know she IS greggers...

Still nothing new to report this morning

She would be... At the least 324 days in foal...

Sorry girls but this is killing me lol

 

[Eagle]

If she bags up over 2 weeks and she starts soon she could still foal at around 340 days so don't give up yet Cassie.

Cassie I was just remembering this morning how I got the foals to move so I knew all was well.

I found that the best time to check was first thing in the morning.

Mares were in at night so hadnt munched in a while so once they heard me coming outside they would get excited at the thought of breakfast coming so I would give them breakfast and then while they were tucking in give them a good scratch under their bellies so the mares were even more delighted because you scratched a place that they couldnt reach and with the weight of the foal the skin is stretched so it makes it more itchy. It seemed to wake up the foals and they would give a burst of activity.

Might be worth a try. Just try to do it in the morning and make sure to give the mare a very good scratch in front of the udder (before the dip in the belly) and fingers crossed you should get the movement you are looking for.

cool thanks heaps Karina, I remember Suzie used to LOVE being scratched in front of her udders LOL

I thought I could feel some movement this morning, it was cooler so no flies and she stood there and let me feel for a bit.. thought I felt a little poke LOL

It was harder for me to get into the crevice of her udder this morning... don't know if that means anything... and I'm not going to say what and jinx it LOL

adding in some cool pics I took this arvo from work of the up coming storm!!!

I love them LOL they are taken with our little work camera and turned out pretty good

its hard to see... but thats our house

thought I'd share them with you

 

[Wings]

I love storm photos!

Being on a hill we see the storms rolling in long before they reach us, it's brilliant!

This was our recent storm, really strong and not half as bad as the one when Storm was born. That colt certainly picked it

 

[cassie]

WOW yeah I love storms too!!!

love watching the clouds roll in and the thunder!! and at night the lightning and the rain falling on our tin roof!! gotta be one of the best sounds...

storm has gone now so horses are in their new paddocks... Smartie is in Kingstons' yard with him they get along fine... and the girls and Finn are in the next paddock SO HE CAN STILL SEE THEM LOL in the back yard LOL

we are doing some rennovations on the house at the moment, laying down new timber flooring in part of it, then will do the rest of the house later in the year, so my job is sanding and staining yippee LOL I have no finger prints left

and it can't be good for my excma LOL but oh well going to look so good once it is done!!

 

[cassie]

just about to go to bed

but before I do... I thought I would show you some old photos I found hehe

then late last month LOL



isn't it amazing what some love attention good feed and a summer coat can do!! lol

thought I would share that LOL night all

 

[MeganH]

Beautiful storm photos. I LOVE being at the beach and sitting on the balcony watching a storm come in from the ocean.

Penny really looks beautiful now. Does not look like the same horse

You have done a great job, Cassie!

[AnnaC]

Those storm pictures are fabulous! (sorry cassie, you will just have to repeat that shot of your house on a clear day.

)

As for our lovely Penny - well what a difference! It has little to do with her suddenly getting her summer coat, but more to do with your care, attention and love Cassie!!

 

[cassie]

lol sorry for the overload... what do you think.... lol to be or not to be? LOL

 

[Eagle]

Her tummy looks much bigger, have you measured it today?

 

[a mini dream come true]

I agree with Renee. She looks bigger/thicker. Looks to me like she is progressing.

 

[cassie]

no I measured it a few days ago... and it was the same... but she was a bit stressed and was all tucked up as I had just wormed Smartie (which was why I had the tape out LOL) and he always goes crazy LOL and so Penny was stressed when I came to her with the tape... I'll try measure her tonight...

what do you think udder wise? I thought I could feel some filling... but maybe can't see it yet??

 

[cassie]

Penny wouldn't let me measure her when I fed them... but my friend Rebekah is coming over in a little while, so we will slip the halter on and measure her then

hopefully anyway!!!

so guys what do you honestly think of Penny... her udder and such?/

 

[Eagle]

I think we still have a little time, give her another 2 weeks.

 

[AnnaC]

Well I think that the 'weight' in her tummy has slipped back and looks more pronounced, plus her bag has become more 'pouchy' (ready to fill?).

Come on Penny - you can do it!

 

[cassie]

Cool

Thanks girls... Sorry to keep hounding you all about this lol hoping for a little more progress in the morning.,. You hear that penny?? Lol

Good night everyone Have a good day/ night

Oh Finn had another bad day today

He seems to be ok now... But I hate having to poke my baby with all those needles n tablets

Really dnt know what is making him so sick all the time...Thanks for supporting me through all this ladies

I couldn't handle all of this without you!!!!
