Darla's official foaling thread.

[LittleRibbie]

Im a major Cowboy Magic Fan.....the detangler works great on my own mop too!!

 

[jessj]

and i forgot to take more pics! i will get my husband to help me take some in a little while. I will be gone for a while this afternoon. Going to visit with my MIL. I will let yall know before i leave.

I have used the detangler on dogs before...works great on them too!

 

[jessj]

When I went out to braid Darla's tail i noticed that she has clear discharge from her vulva again. Do you guys wrap the tail with vet wrap when the "blessed event" starts?

 

[MeganH]

Is her hooha swollen, red or loose at all?

 

[jessj]

it is swollen and loose, but not red yet. when she was laying down earlier the whole thing was gaped open. Leaving for my mother in laws in a few minutes. Please call if she look like she is in labor! Thanks, Jess

 

[MeganH]

I'll be watching, Jess. Sorry to hear about your MIL and hope you have a nice visit.

 

[jessj]

I am back home now! Thanks for watching our girl!

 

[a mini dream come true]

Does Darla look like she is breathing heavier than usual or is it just me?

 

[jessj]

Its hard to tell because she always seems to be breathing hard! She is doing alot of up/down/up/down. showing some other signs too like flehming, looking at tummy, tail swishing. Her vulva looked swollen and loose when i checked her earlier and she REALLY did not want me touching it. But then again she has given us all these symptoms before and produced nothing! I really think she just likes my sleep deprived zombie look!

Bless your heart I know it's hard and exhausting, but it will be worth it when you have that little foal

 

[jessj]

Headed to bed! Please call if i am needed!

 

[jessj]

about to leave for church. will have my phone on vibrate! her sides looked funny when i put her back up!

 

[MeganH]

I see Darla is up looking out her stall right now.

I haven't been able to watch the girls today.. we went and got Ricochet!! I posted pictures in a thread: HERE

Hope everyone is doing good!

 

[jessj]

Darla's stomach muscles look funny today...what do yall think? (it shows better in the second pic)

 

[a mini dream come true]

I can definately see the difference, but not sure what it means. hopefully someone else will know.

 

[cassie]

don't know what it means either sorry Jess, maybe you could do some pics from behind? n in front??

how is her udder looking now?

 

[jessj]

both of those pics are from today...when i got home from church and saw her i honestly started looking around on the ground for a foal! I will try to get som pics from front and behind, but it is getting dark and she is up for tonight...may be tomorrow before i can get them. Her udder hasnt filled back up and gotten huge again, but hasnt gone down anymore either. I dont know what is going on with this silly mare.

 

[jessj]

have yall noticed that we seem to have a pattern forming with the mares???

First we had Lindy Loo and Dinky Doo (filly)

Then Miss Heidi and Cam (colt)

Then Bree and Rivians (filly)

and Finally Renee and Fergie(colt)

So Darla if we are gonna claim the next filly you REALLY need to get your booty in gear!

 

[cassie]

haha unless Ashanti sneaks in, I reckon Darla will be the next to go... or unless Suzie does!!

ROFL not likely!!

 

[jessj]

or Stormy...
