Cocoa's active foal

[Country Hills Miniatures]

Compare this with the photo I posted earlier. Can you see a difference?

She is definitely looking elongated

When you have time can you take a pic from down at her level from directly behind so we can see how foal is riding ?

Still riding sideways. No udder fill yet. 2 weeks till due date

She looks like she could go a bit yet. Several of mine don't get slab sided OR if they do - it's literally just before foaling...

Praying that she starts filling her udder for you. Have you checked w/ your vet to see what you will need to do if she doesn't have milk fill? I have had the shot given - to bring milk into the udder AND to let it down where the foal could nurse/pull it from the udder with 2 different foals out of the same mare. The shot wasn't a big deal and she turned into a milk cow (almost literally) both times!!

She had a foal 3 yrs ago when I got her and she had plenty of milk then. Hope she doesn't go late. I'm getting impatient.

 

She's looking just perfect! I bet you'll see that milk start to fill a bit as her delivery date nears, but she's got some time. When she gets to her "due date" you can always let your vet know she may foal without milk (if none shows up), but usually these frustrating girls fill at foaling, so the shot is rarely needed.

We are finally developing an udder. And I believe it's turned. Will post pic later for your judgement. Is there a time frame for delivery after they turn?

 

Mine always went 3-4 weeks once udder development started. But they can go sooner (or later), but about 3 weeks is a good guess.

Pics from last night.

She's looking great

Back view

 

She is doing just fine, and looks great. We'll watch for baby to line up, and move a bit forward of center as it positions for birth. But for right now, all is looking just fine!

Not sure what I'm looking for. Had my foal turned?

 

[Ryan Johnson]

She's looking great . Baby is riding sideways at the moment . You can notice in the pic looking at her from behind . When baby lines up she will look slab sided. You won't notice baby poking out the sides

How's her udder? Have you noticed any other changes recently ?

 

At this point it would be helpful to have 2 pictures of her routinely. One from the back so we can see how baby is riding, and then the full side view. This will help us check baby's "line up" and the positioning. She's looking beautiful.

Here she is from behind

Udder is filling more each day

Mon Eve, udder is filling. Baby still sideways

 

[lkblazin]

She's definitely progressing. Udder filling is very good

. Maybe she's gonna foal before my girl lol

 

Looking good! Keep moving forward little momma!
