Of course!!

:worship

5.45pm and all stalls empty so presume Mary is outside in her chair watching them.

6PM - Sox wanted to go in her stall (???) so is in there with Foal Buzzer but not the Equipage, since I think it is hers that doesn't work. It went off again while both mares were eating in the backyard. Have not had one minute to call Kee Port but I will. My half hour nap stretched to 1 1/2 hrs....

Major development here today for anyone who has followed Ruby on the main forum. We treated her with SMZ after a reading by Bonnie Fogg about a month ago (sinus infection was major issue per Bonnie) and for the first time since last OCTOBER, we were able to turn Ruby out with the main herd!!!

For those who think Toffee might be next, I might be joining that camp but still have to test milk/check udders. Remember, Toffee was bred a full 31 days before Sox so she SHOULD go next!!! Toffee was bred the same time as Raven - remember that foal? He is probably halter broke by now!!

Thank you all for watching!!!

Oh that is fabulous news about Ruby!!

Nearly midnight here so I'm off to bed - hope to be back watching at around 3am your time. Sending prayers for safe foalings if either Toffee or Sox decide to let us see their little babies before morning.

Udders are still full and tight but based on milk, I really don't think either one will foal tonight. The wait continues... 346 days and counting for Toffee. Of course, they could still be sneaky, but I am guessing the weekend... probably Saturday afternoon as the front comes in and we have our 4-H meeting.

For those of you who never used a Foal Buzzer and baby monitor, you really should listen to your horses sometime. There is a lot of talking and playing going on - at least at our place. With the volume turned up I can even hear Sox chew.... but I really don't need to hear that.

I can even hear Sox chew.... but I really don't need to hear that.

LOL

Our cameras have sound and at times when I've been nervous about something I leave the sound turned up. It's amazing what goes on while we are sleeping!

 

[cassie]

I'm back on marewatch

its 8:13pm and both girls are standing quietly.

I should have a go at listening to my horses on the cameras could be fun

I will be watching as much as possible tonight for you Mary. will definitley be on till 12am your time but should be on till later. might be out for a little while but I might wait for that until Renee/Karina or Anna come on board, the rain has finally stopped so I want to do a leading lesson with Finn.

Toffee just gone down sternal.

 

[cassie]

and Toffee is back up not even another minute later,,, hmmmm. Megan's Laney did this just before she foaled

YAWNING!! Toffee was just yawning.

Mary are you around just in case?

 

[targetsmom]

Yes I am watching - she does look very "possible".....

I was watching and working and decided this might not be a good time to multitask!

Going outside to watch closer...

 

[cassie]

hmm Toffee was just down and back up again. and she is looking to go down again! I'm going low alert! I think she will go soon

Yes I am watching - she does look very "possible".....

I'm glad your around Mary.... I don't think she will keep us waiting to long.

and down again!

 

[cassie]

hmmm she is definitley not comfortable... can't tell if there are any contractions but she keeps moving so maybe...

are you heading out there Mary?

 

[cassie]

[targetsmom]

This is the way it is SUPPOSED to go, right??? Thanks all!! A long legged bay pinto colt with his mother's blue eyes!!! I think he is already bigger than Bunny, but he sure cooked long enough!! We are thrilled with him.

 

[Becky]

Yea! Yes, that's the way it's supposed to go! He sounds wonderful. Can't wait to see pictures!
