Darla's official foaling thread.

[lucky lodge]

maybe a little wider...not as much as i was thinking. It helps seeing them side by side! I really think he meant saddle bridle and all when they rode her! If yall say it is ok, then i believe you...it just freaked me out a little! We have mutual friends and their local saddle club association is having their last open show of the season before state show this weekend at their farm. It is only about 10 minutes from my house so we are thinking about going! I am gonna pump him for more info while i am there! My daughter has already been hinting at taking her in an open pony halter class next year. She is going to be really excited! He did tell me that I should come by their house and see the little stud that she is bred to...i am gonna plan on going one day this week!

Dont forget to take photos of the stallion for all of us

That's funny about the buckets!

I'll keep my blue bucket since we KNOW my little man is a colt.

Does sound like Darla is getting close. Hope she is doing well today!

Good morning everyone! Darla and I both rested well last night! I will definitely post pics of the stallion for you guys! I just have to find time to go now! After Darla foals and our little filly is weaned, we may let me daughter try to ride her. If she rides as well as her previous owner says, then she may be able to take her in a pony pleasure or pony walk trot class. That would make my daughter very happy! And most of the prep could be done without a rider or with a rider in a lighter saddle and just use a show saddle for her classes. You guys are awesome! We are expecting thunderstorms for the next several days and it is a full moon this weekend...maybe we will have a baby by monday!

Keeping my fingers crossed for you!

 

[jessj]

Baby was very active again this afternoon...poor Darla!

 

[cassie]

Naw!! Suzies baby was really active this morning changing position poor suz!! Is darlas shape changing??

 

[jessj]

She seems to be dropping even lower. I am,going to take some pics in the morning to compare!

 

[cassie]

Cool

can't wait to see them

 

[jessj]

Just checked on D... She was flat out. Scared me for a sec, she usually doesn't like to lay flat. She just layed there for a sec then rolled and got up. Her ph still hasn't dropped....maybe her udder will fill on out in the next couple of days. It would be a shame to waste a full moon AND a storm all on the same day this weekend!!! She is gonna have to start progressing if we are gonna f**l this weekend!

 

[jessj]

Lindy... Your mare and your granddaughter are both adorable!

 

[cassie]

It will happen Jess!! I think suz n D are at similar stages

we can encourage each other

 

[jessj]

Just checked on D again....she is back to flat out again... very interesting. I think so too cass! And I dont think we have too much longer to wait!

 

[cassie]

hmm that is interesting, is she breathing heavily? for about the last week Suzie has been breathing really heavy whenever she lies down...

 

[Lindi-loo]

Lindy... Your mare and your granddaughter are both adorable!

Thanks Jess ..i think they look great together made for eachother and they both enjoy it too..looking forward to seeing more pictures

[jessj]

Shw wasnt breathing hard last night..just slow deep sleeping breaths. She has been breathing hard during the day...but it is a million degrees with a thousand percent humidity at my house! Getting ready to take darla pics and test her milk...will post pics when I get to work!
