9:50 am cam time Penny was standing swishing her tail and biting her belly a few minutes. Now she is out of view

 

[cassie]

haha thanks girls.

you know I love ALL of you!

Penny was very relaxed last night

and I saw her lying down sternal real early Megan was very nice to see her having a nice rest

she was lying down outside this morning too... she sure is doing more poops then before LOL and some of them are mushy some are fairly firm, but definitely looser then her normal pebble poops lol

Finn is now having a nice rest down by Penny

yeah he is funny with those buckets! I put them up high but Penny can still reach them and knocks them off, then Finn has a great time playing with them!

Penny just did a nice back leg stretch she sure is looking happier then she did on the weekend!

Amanda, her milk is an opaque white colour... and a little sticky.

I haven't tested her the last day... and still no udder progress... do you girls think I should be testing her at all or leave it?

 

[StarRidgeAcres]

Hmmm... She sure has been a perplexing one, hasn't she???

I would have expected her milk to be more stickly and maybe yellowish, but honestly they don't always read that rule. When was the last time you tested her?

 

[cassie]

umm Sunday morning.

yeah she just loves to be a tease!

 

[cassie]

she just got down and had a roll and was straight back up again LOL strange mare!

Cassie- How is Finn doing with leading? My husband took Ricky out and worked with him today and he was TERRIBLE lol. I wish I would have gotten my camera and recorded because it was the worst he's ever been. He bit over and over, reared, pawed him with his hooves. I am hoping he will be gelded this month and that will help him lose the attitude. He also likes to grab a hold of my jacket sleeve with his mouth when I am rubbing him and he just sits there and holds it almost like its soothing.

 

[cassie]

HAHA Finn does the same thing with the biting thing... just grabs hold of my jacket and holds on to it LOL brats!

considering Finn hasn't been having many lessons he is doing really well.

I really take it slowly, and try to coach him forward with the feed rather then pulling on the lead so he doesn't really even feel the halter, I also cluck my tongue at him to encourage him, and he is learning that if I cluck my tongue he goes forward... still got a long way to go but I was really pleased with his last session.

I hope Ricky gets better for you! do you use treats? I definitley think that positive reinforcement is better then negative... I try not to smack Finn and just growl at him and when he does something good I majorly over exagurate it. good boys and hugs and scratches all over the place. then he does it again to please me and to get his scratches. he really is a good boy... maybe if you like I can take a video of one of my sessions with him... maybe when he is a little better LOL if it might help at all...

I'm a complete novice too lol

my two gorgeous girls having a scratching session!

 

[MeganH]

I would love to see Finn in action

Ricky used to be perfect on the lead. I think it's been my lack of working with him recently and his hormones that are making him batty. I used some horse treats and it made him really mouthy so I have laid off and give him scratches and a treat at the very end. Once he is gelded I think he will be much better. He would 'whoa', walk and trot when I asked him and did so well before. Silly boys. Ricky responds well to me stomping my foot or raising it like I was going to kick (like a mare would) when he gets aggressive with me. I think I am going to try to work with him tomorrow. I really wanted to work with him and get him to stand for showing.. if I can ever get rid of his belly lol

I saw Penny and Finn together too earlier

I am closing all my cam pages and shutting down for the night. Good day/night everyone.

Approx 10.40pm and Penny down sternal and snoozing quietly except for the odd shift to get more comfortable.

 

[AnnaC]

1.30am and Penny down sternal on opposite side to earlier, gave a long look at her tummy then back to snoozing quietly - apart from her ears, which never seem to be still!!

I'm off now for a couple of hours - back around teatime (my teatime!)

 

[MeganH]

1:50am and Penny is pacing and seems unsettled.

2:00am and Cassie is in picking up Penny's many poos.

 

[cassie]

Did anyone notice the fuzzy camera?? I woke up to check and got a very fuzzy camera... well I was terrified, thought it was smoke and that there was a fire LOL I always jump to conclusions lol... well I don't know what caused the fuzziness probably had something to do with Suzie n Finn somehow LOL

but its clearer now... phew. sure scared the heck out of me at 1:30am in the morning

lol

so see Anna n Diane, I can get up when I want to/ have to...
