Erica's Geisha is acting funny

[BlueStar]

Not positive but pretty sure Erica is planning to put more mares under camera today so think she is switching things up. Maybe these are the next girlies we get to watch?

 

[Jill]

I'm not for sure "who" we are seeing, but they may have something to do with why Sheryl's visiting Erica

(only guessing -- I do not know who the two on camera right now are).

 

[littleones]

These two are having a grand old time eating Geisha's food. And Geisha is probably out in the yard having her foal (sure hope that isn't what is really happening!!!).

I just got in and checked on the cam and now there are two horses in the stall lol.

Sheryl let us know how the visit goes alright?

 

[MiniHunterHorseFan]

Oh Taker. I love him. He is a silver bay. One of my all time favorite colors. Okay and Geisha is a smokey black, right? So I am going to guess for a silver dapple filly. Hopefully with a white blaze.

Oh I hope she has it soon.

Hi guys,

I ave been watching this for a few days and have noticed the camera going out once in a while. It has been out now for almost an hour. I have been thinking about doing Mare Star and got on line to try a few other places and find that some of their cameras are not working well either. Have you noticed that before? For $200 a year and $20 per month, I would not want my cameras going out at the most important time.

My the way, I looked up Geisha and her color is a solid chestnut. Just for your information if you are trying to guess what color the foal will be . My guess is going to be chestnut.

Riverdance, there are many factors that can affect the camera including the computer it's hooked up to at the farm, internet traffic, camera quality and the service that streams it. I would not blame any provider, just the overall imperfect nature of the Internet.

I've been out all day so glad to know i didn't miss anything!

It kept getting static today. I have noticed this more on the weekends. I thought maybe someone has a CB radio or something in her area if the camera is wireless.

 

[Leeana]

I have not been able to connect to the cam in a few hours, anyone else having issues?

I think they are adding mares and cameras today (Erica mentioned it a few days ago) so am guessing that they are changing things up on the Mare Stare end as well as at Erica's.???

Riverdance - there are many reasons why a farm's cams are not working. The providers of this type of service have very reliable servers and staff that are right there if there was a server problem. My experience with MareStare has been absolutely wonderful - and if my cams are not working - it is because of my internet provider - not MareStare. I truly believe that the other MareStare clients will tell you the same thing. And - the farms will quite often have their cameras off if nothing is happening at their farm - for instance ours have been off since last July and won't be on for a few more weeks. And I truly feel that $200 per year is very inexpensive- if a farm were to save just one foal because of the cams!!!!

Cam is back on - and Geisha looks the same!!!

Thank you for your response. I am glad to hear it is not them. I just found several farms were not working even thought they had the greed light. I will have to give Mare Stare call and find out what is needed to set this up. I have barn cameras already that are wireless and aim rowards the house. Sometimes they do not work very well.

 

[Erica]

This is Sheryl

Geisha update: She has cow pies!!

BTW Geisha is a beautiful, sassy silver bay. I think if you took a pin to her, she'd pop!

Well, gonna go for now.

TTYL

 

[Bonny]

Umm, confused here, cow pies???

 

[Kitty]

Cow pies are loose stools. Most mares get them just prior to foaling. I really gotta get high speed this is killing me.

 

[Bonny]

OH!

LOL!!!!!

I was thinking "is that some special breeders term"

Boy do I feel silly!

Well thanks for clearing that up! She does seem uncomfortable.
