Classic K Miniatures thread. pics and updates on my mini's

[AnnaC]

Kicks and rolls, hummmmmmm it sounds exciting!!!

 

[MeganH]

but I am SURE I felt movement, I first saw a little kick at her tummy, then I felt and felt two more so I put my hands on her and felt a rolling sort of movement in her tummy...

 

[cassie]

lol not a 100% as with everything with this mare... but I did feel movement... unless it was just her digestive system

lol

here's hoping she will keep progressing now... fingers crossed! Come on Penny!

 

[bannerminis]

I have everything crossed that she is in foal. A friend of mine suspected her mare was in foal and had her scanned twice but each time the vet couldnt find anything. He took his time but said she was empty. Apart for a belly she didnt show any other signs and sadly they got up one morning to find a dead foal in the stable. She was devastated and blames herself but the mare gave NO signs and vet checked her over too so what can you do.

One way or another you are doing the right thing by keeping a close eye whatever the result, so good on you and it looks like it has been good to build an even better bond between you and Penny

 

[cassie]

Thank you Karina, oh your poor friend!! I would feel the exact same way... yeah I am so glad she is up on camera n I have all you lovely people helping me out with this.

yes it sure has tightened my bond with Penny, she will never be like Suz who I can do anything to but she has really settled down to be a lovely mare.

She was really distancing herself from Suzie and Finn this morning... hmmm.

 

[vickie gee]

Hi Cassie. I started reading through Suzie's thread to bring myself up to speed after seeing pix of the little Finn. OMgosh. I don't where I was when all this was going on...not foaling season here back in Oct. Yours set a world record for LB pages( on Oct 9 alone.) I do plan on reading in it's entirety when I have time. I did not even log so I could see pix; that would be like reading the last page in a book before reading book. I did watch the birthing video. You did good. I finally figured out that I was looking at a cell phone and not a flashlight. The rest of the world is tuned into cell phones, but if I had a video you would be looking at flashlight. I do have video of Elvis as soon he was "here" drying off and trying to stand. Some day I will post video when life slows down. I doubt if I ever get a video of Choctaw foaling unless I go undercover disguised as a fence post or wheel barrow or something non-human. Anyway your thread (what I read of it) amused me and that is what I needed. Three years ago today March 6 my mom passed away with me holding her arm. It is very difficult for me but my mom always had a smile on her face and so it is very important to me to try to follow in her footsteps. Her name was Jimmie Fay and I miss her so much. She and my dad were together for almost 60 years. I know if she had lived to see these new foals she would be marveling at how comical they are.

i never felt any foal movement with saffire and dusty so dont worry about that if you can see all the changes in penny.well i would say she prego,s ...got any new photos...would love to see some update photos

 

[cassie]

naw Vickie I am so glad you were able to take comfort from Suzie's thread lol yes it did take a while and yes we had a lot of laughs LOL we had a good time waiting for Finn to be born,

I'm so sorry to hear of your mother, she must have been a very special lady! take care of yourself and I hope you are able to have a lovely day... even with everything going on... give your little man Elvis a big cuddle and kiss

foals always make me feel better

haha the flashlight thing is funny , I was getting so many msgs and calls my backside was vibrating every 5 seconds LOL thank you for your kind words about Finn's birth It was my first time, and I was quite nervous, but Suzie did a brilliant job lol

 

[MeganH]

I am so sorry to hear about your mother, Vickie. Cassie is right- Elvis will make you feel better.

And I second Jenny... pictures please, Cassie!!!

 

[a mini dream come true]

Penny is really keeping us on our toes

. Yeah for the kicks. One of these days we'll get to meet this little one

. I'm still trying to get used to the new way of doing things one here.

Awww! I may have figured another part out

.Has the flooking gone down anymore?

 

[cassie]

haha I'll try take some... she really hasn't changed though which is why I haven't posted any...

Russell just went home for a bit and said that Penny was lying down and rolling... not normal for her... then Finn decided to join her lol they then got up and were fine but very interesting.... might set up the outdoor camera I'm thinking... hmmm

 

[cassie]

yeah flooding has gone down, further south west of us is copping it big time! the whole north side of Wagga is under water! poor people! over 200 houses under water and if the levy doesn't hold then the whole town could go under...

poor people! please be praying for them as its hard times for those people right now!

 

[MeganH]

I would set the cam up for sure Cassie! I have never seen her roll.

That is awful about the flooding

 

[a mini dream come true]

Oh goodness, how terrible for them. They will be in my prayers.

praying the levy holds so more homes are not lost

.

just when we think we may have her figured out she throws another loop

:rofl

 

[cassie]

haha yep!!

we are meant to be getting another big rain storm come through... depending on how big it is and where the rain falls, we still could get a flood here... really hoping that it doesn't go down to Wagga though

here are some pics... its crazy!

the levy is holding so we are hoping they won't get anymore rain down there!







two of our trucks just got bogged

so I had to go round and get the tractor ready for them to take up to get the truck out!

we realyl need to get it out before the rain or it won't be going anywhere!! lol so I might be in and out a bit for a while!

 

[izmepeggy]

Oh my gosh Cassie, You be careful. We are praying for YOU and the PEOPLE.

 

[cassie]

thanks Peggy, we r ok, the people down in Wagga though... scary stuff!!

truck is still bogged

lol they have moved 600mm since 9:30am this morning!!

LOL good thing Dad isn't here.... he would be livid!!

it would be get away quick!

lol my Dad isn't good when he is angry

hee hee

I have my ultrasound at 4pm... won't know the results straight away... but have to go back to the docs to find out... I am trying to drink lots of water cos I have to... lol water gets a little plain after you drink lots LOL

lol

 

[cassie]

ok Penny is in, no change that I can see... she was doing some belly kicking and tail swishing and there are no flies around tonight... with the rain storm that I think is coming... she could be a little stressed tonight with the storm, but I'm hoping not, she has nice fresh straw a whole heap of hay and more feed hoping she will settle down... I have to go to soccer at 7:15 and will be gone an hour but am only 15min away should you need me at all... thanks for keeping an eye on her.

its very cold again here, so she has a nice fresh extra straw bedding... hoping she will be ok.

 

[AnnaC]

Goodness Cassie, those floods look terrible - those poor people, so very sad and pretty frightening for them!

How did the scan go - when do you get the results? Hows your tummy feeling these days?

Will keep checking on Penny when I can throughout the day - hopefully the storm wont bother her too much - it's peeing down with rain here at the moment too, gotta go out and do the boys but guess they will choose to stay in the warm this morning (I always know coz instead of waiting by their doors to go out, they go stand in their hay corners ready for a new supply as soon as they hear the rain drumming on the roof. LOL!!)

 

[cassie]

haha I wish my girls would do that lol

the scan was horrible LOL to say the least

have to book another appointment to see the doc to get my results... more money to pay... great lol

its raining here at the moment, but we haven't had any wind which is a blessing... we don't need any wind or we will have alot of trees down, the ground is so soft it wouldn't take much it looks like Penny has already finished her hay so I will go and give her some more.... she always hoes into it silly girl!

we won soccer 6-4 tonight

hopefully last game of the season, and last for a while... I won't play next season as I have to much studying to do... that I am not doing...

hehe will do a quick check on penny now,

see you soon
