I was SURE this would be the announcement, but I sure feel your pain because our cams have been up since March 1 and nothing yet here either!!!

Should there be reason for concern if she still hasnt foaled after the 24 hour mark of testing at 6.0?

I have seen mares on Mare Stare that "tested ready" for seemingly forever, so I guess it does happen. As long as she isn't losing the colostrum (i.e it isn't streaming onto the ground), you should be OK. They foal when they are ready and not before!!

hang in there Lexi..once it happens it happens sooooo fast. Hoping for a babyu doe you today! It WILL happen!

 

[Gone_Riding]

Maybe she's waiting to foal in the day time... Yeah, we can dream! Come on, Summer, you don't have to wait until Summer!

Just stay close by cos she will go soon.

 

[lexischase]

Staying very close. She doesn't look like she will foal today, hopefully she is trying to trick me

 

[eagles ring farm]

trying to trick me lol...these mares are so good at that. Sometimes it does seem forever but so worth the wait

when all goes well

Getting exciting...

 

[Eagle]

how about some new pics

 

[lexischase]

Will get some shortly. Was just intently watching her shift weight and she was dripping milk on one side. It's getting white!!

I never in a million years would have thought our mare Toffee would have foaled before your mare. Toffee's milk was at pH 7.0 last night and the baby was definitely NOT in position yet. Even at 10 AM when I was putting Dancer out I noticed nothing and it looks like no one else did. Then BANG when I fed lunch at noon she foaled mostly standing up and never setting the alarm off (like last year). Good thing I noticed Clyde peering in Toffee's stall window and ran to investigate, as the filly was a good ways out already. Show just how sneaky these mares can be!!!

 

[lexischase]

Oh my goodness Mary! How exciting is that?! Big congratulations!!! Lucky you!

 

[Eagle]

Waiting patiently for pics, well O. K not so patiently

 

[rubyviewminis]

I am on pins and needles! Come on Summer!

Mary, that is amazing! Lol, congratulations! She must be related to Missy!

 

[lexischase]

Renee at the barn I have no Internet to upload the photos, just can post from my phone. When someone comes to take my place for an hour later ill post them. What time is it your time???

I don't think I have ever seen Summer eat, drink, and pee so much as I have in the past 2 days.

 

[cassie]

If she is dripping white milk it won't be long....

oh gosh so excited for you!!!

It's late for Renee...

 

[Eagle]

Yes Cassie it is nearly midnight so I must hit the hay soon

Lexi no worries, I will see the pics in the morning or even better baby pics

Safe foaling

 

Can't wait to see the pictures. Happy foaling -- that white milk is a great sign that she's on her way!!
