I am glad the scan is over Cassie and

for good results. I am sorry for those poor people that are flooded, I do hope the weather changes for you all soon.

 

[bannerminis]

All that flooding is just crazy. I hope you will all stay safe. I feel so sorry for people that have lost their homes to it.

Keep safe and glad you had your scan and hopefully your results will be ok. Pity you couldnt "borrow" the scanner and use it on Penny LOL

[cassie]

Wow she really was up n down alot!!! I wonder if she can't get comfortable poor girl.

Thanks heaps girls for watching... Every time I woke up she was up standing quietly so thank you for noticing the times she lay down... I suppose I better go out n feed them it Is so wet tho

It has been bucketing down all last night n Is still bucketing down this mOrning, I'm going to keep the minis in the stable paddock so they can come n go n stay out of the rain hopefully

 

[Eagle]

Cassie I don't think she looks uncomfy it seems to me that she is just nervous cos she is alone, as soon as she gets up she goes to the door to look out before going down again and when she is down her ears are moving the whole time listening to what's going on. Is there anyone in the paddock in front of her stable at night?

I always seem to miss out on the ups and downs when I get time to check - I just get the bouts of continual marching!! Are the others in the stable paddock at night Cassie, if not I was wondering if it would help if they were. Penny may feel more settled if she knew her friends were near. If they are in that stable paddock, then we must think of a way to help Penny relax more - she seemed to be settling so well at the beginning after her first few restless days. It is possible that a mare will delay foaling if she is strssed or not happy about something - not sure how long before actually foaling they can do this, it may only be during the last couple of days/hours, but it something I was wondering about with regard to Penny's 'nervous/concerned attitude during the nights??

Anyone else got any thoughts or ideas that might help Penny?

 

[cassie]

Suzie n Finn are in the stable paddock n last night stayed up there the whole time... They were dry when I went out... The rain was very heavy at times last night n she is quite a skittish mare... I could put insallation in the roof but that would be massive dad job

She Is very relaxed n soft around the tail head this morning... N a little pinker inside.

To give you an example of how much it rained last night smarties feed bucket was full n I checked the rain gauge we had 45mm that's almost 2" in one night!! Crazy stuff! It looks like it's settled in for the day aswell..

 

[AnnaC]

OK, so it's not lack of company! I know the rain is bad just now Cassie, but she did go through a bad rainstorm not long after you started shutting her in and, if I remember correctly, we were all amazed by the fact that she seemed quite unconcerned? Is there anything else - dont know if the cam makes a noise, I'm sure it doesnt but just sending out thoughts like something we cant hear but she can!

 

[cassie]

no nothing else I can think of, I dont know if maybe the change of weather is getting her a little scared? I really have no clue... unless she is fretting because she can't see Smartie all the well...

maybe I might put Suzie and Finn into the cattle yard... (if it isn't pouring with rain ) and put Smartie in the stable paddock and see if she is better with that...? what do you think?

 

[Eagle]

yes I would try that as she is very fond of him, try putting hay outside her door to encourage him to stay by Penny. If not we are going to have to find a way to let her out cos it is heart breaking to see her so unhappy.

 

[AnnaC]

Good thought Cassie - try Smartie close by for a change, it may be him that she is missing. If you get him there at teatime as soon as you shut her in, we have all evening to watch to see if it helps and if not or she seems worse, then you still have time before bed to swop everyone back again.

Grrrrrr I really hate the new way the emotions work - most of the time they pop up as I click to post but then disappear before I can start posting!! Wish we could have them back the way they were!! Also why do some posts print up in minute writing, others come up in 'dark ink' while most are normal??

 

[cassie]

I will try tomorrow night she is really quite nice n settled tonight so hoping this is the start of a better attitude n settling down at night fingers crossed!!
