[cassie]

It's all good Liz thanks for trying camra is off my daytime penny acting very strange today her n Finn were galloping all over the paddock got s video n it's really cute lol

But earlier, Renee this will interest you... She mounted suzie!!!!!!!! I have never ever seen her do this b4 n she has rolled three times today that I have seen...

I am feeling really sick again today have the worst cramps in my tummy so the horses are fed n on cam n I am in bed just took some mess so hopefully they will kick in soon

Sorry girls

Thanks for everything xo

her galloping is a not a good sign of immanent foaling

my girls stop getting active like that weeks before foaling. Do you remember hoe Suzie stopped playing towards the end. I am going to start a topic in the main forum to find out if girls mount when the are not preggo and see what people say.

Sorry you are feeling sick Cassie, I don't think I will be able to help much tonight either cos as soon as the kids wake up I am off to clean my parents house.

Sorry you are feeling poorly Cassie - bed is a good place when you are feeling grotty, very comforting! I have had one mare who became more 'spritely' as she got nearer to foaling, but like Renee said, in the main they seem to become more quiet and 'inward thinking'. Hope you are feeling better tomorrow.

 

[cassie]

Oh yeah... begger hmmm well I guess time will tell... That's ok... Knowing that we dnt need to stress it was really weir though... Wonder if it was just the weather then... Come on penny we wAnt you to have a baby in that tummy!!!

 

[cassie]

I just did a bit of research... Waiting for sore mess to kick n so I can sleep n apparantly it is quite common for a pregnant mare to mount a mare on heat... So maybe suzie was on heat... N the extra hormones in penny at the moment caused her to do this...

About to research late pregnant mare very active... Might put a post on the main forum to see what our lovely friends have to say then I am off to sleep ps I'm sorry for the state of pennys stable but I get massive cramps if I walk let alone bend over sorry...

 

[MeganH]

Sorry you are feeling so sick, Cassie

Really hope you feel better very soon. 12:15am cam time and Penny is up grazing.

 

[cassie]

Thanks Megan... 2am n she is down sternal by the gate I love it so much that she lies down now

Alot of pregnant mares mount other mares. Hormones...

My mare was doing it and Liz was making fun of her, then later on Liz had a humpy train of four to five mares last year in her field it was really really funny.

Trust Liz to have a train of them

 

[AnnaC]

LOL!! A train of mares!!

Penny's looking very settled in her stable now - loved the ballerina rear leg stretch she just did, really pointed her toe!!

I know a number of things can cause mares to mount, hormones seem to be the main one! In a non pregnant mare it is more concerning as it can be a indicator of an inbalance or another issue. My Rivain will mount an onheat mare while she is pregnant

Cassie have you considered Penny could be having a phantom? Based on how little her udder or belly have changed and we're so close to the later end of regular foaling times I must admit I'd be suprised (although very happy!) to find she's in foal. Do you think it's possible to get her scanned?

 

[bannerminis]

Hope you are feeling a little better Cassie.

I have been watching Penny on and off throughout the day.

If you are scratching her belly does it feel hard or could you push it up. I find that when the mares are heavily in foal that if you try to push up the belly underneath there is just too much weight and its like a board. (Just a thought)

 

[AnnaC]

Sorry Cassie, forgot to say hope you are feeling better this morning

Far from being 'settled' our Penny is now getting seriously cross!! Is is possible that Suzie or Finn are up to something outside - Finn up to not good of course LOL!! Or maybe Penny is just expecting her breakfast to be served at this hour? Apart from being 'cross' she has also been doing quite a bit of tail swishing and even butt rubbing (before she started her 'cross' time)

I can see why Bree suggested a false pregnancy, but I'm still inclind to think hat she is in foal. I know it is impossible to tell from looking at a cam picture, but I have been staring at Penny for a good 10 minutes, most of the time she was standing near her door with just the right side of her tummy and rear end visible, and I am sure (well almost sure!) I saw a 'kick' like *** up high on her flank - she then followed this immediately with a huge swish of her tail and a round of the stable. Once she returned to the same spot, I didn't see anything again, but she kept suddenly swishing her tail and shifting her back legs, then changed to a sudden butt rub?? It was a while after this that she started her 'cross' stint of impatience for food. So something was 'effecting' her earlier on???

If she was having a phantom, wouldn't she be bagging up as well - or do some mares not bag up? Never had a mare with a phantom, so interested.

thanks Jackie haha I can so imagine that happening to Liz, funny girl!!

Hope you feel better soon Cassie

HI Bree feeling a little better but still very sore... Mum n Dad leave for Germany today so I have to do all the running around so I can't afford to be sick... if its not better by tomorrow I'm going to book a doctor app...

Bree I have considered everything with Penny... she is just driving me crazy!!

lol

it would be possible to get her scanned but also very expensive... (still haven't got the vet bill back yet from Finn's last colic

) I think I would rather wait out the time and see what happens after that... its just so weird that I had her on the massive diet and she still kept getting bigger oh well.

Hope you are feeling a little better Cassie.

Thanks Karina, under her tummy feels hard.... I can't really push it anywhere at all... the side of her tummy is kinda loose but then hard (if that makes sense) lol

not much udder change though her right teat is a fair bit more swollen then her left... her left is sorta shrivelled looking LOL I just can't get anywhere with this mare!!!

Hi Anna,

the butt rubbing thing is VERY new.... her tail is normally immaculate and no signs of any form of rubbing, but in the last month she has started doing the rubbing thing and all the rest...

I guess we just have to keep watching... come on Penny really this is getting beyond a joke!

 

[Eagle]

"Kingston park phantom dime" would make a good name. Lol

I hope you feel better soon Cassie

 

[cassie]

haha that would make a good name Renee, I have also been thinking of Kingston Park a Classic Mystery... as Penny's name is Raylee Park Classic Touch and the possible sires name is Gift horse Blue Mystery LOL

but I like your name too LOL

but we have to have a foal before we can start naming it... LOL I

 

[cassie]

hehe just found some of the baby photos of Finn hehe I love this one



hehe cheeky baby!

its a very hot day here today and the horses are all hot n bothered... Penny especially is very hot and she is dripping sweat from around her udder!!!

is there anything I can do to cool her down?? I could probably wash her but she gets a little stressed from that (n I'm not feeling well enough to battle her lol)

poor thing.

 

[cassie]

just got back home from work and found Penny doing some major butt rubbs n pushes against the timber fence... hmm,

I thought I could see tummy movement from where I was standing but wasn't sure....

 

[Eagle]

Morning Cassie, I hope you are feeling better today. Please wave to your mum and Dad from me and tell them to have a wonderful time.

 

[cassie]

Morning Renee

they got on the plane at 6:30 should land in Singapore at 1am their time... then on to London then Berlin... LOL they are travelling Business class so I think they should be comfortable

Thanks, I'm going to the doctor tomorrow just in case... because the pain is in my right hand lower side where my appendix is...

I'm really hoping it isn't appendicitis yuck!

Penny is in for the night... I'm pretty sure I saw and then felt movement... well I THINK I'm sure LOL who knows

lol

its still very hot but because the stable is timber its not to bad in there, and there is good ventalation so she should be ok

about to go make the boys dinner now... hope everyone has a good day/ night
