[jessj]

Your girl is so pretty! I love the "does my bum look fat?" pic!

 

[anyssapark]

Thanks Cassie for all the updates. I was a bit crook yesterday, so had gone to bed real early and just relied on the halter alarm for the night.

Interesting that she doesnt lay down for long. Poor girl must be too uncomfortable.

Fergies udder is the same this morning. Her hoohar is slightly puffy, but doesnt seem relaxed yet. Her milk is the same as yesterday. She's got her breakfast, and the door to her stable is open into the paddock.

I will go out today and get some more milk strips, and another cable so that i can put the outside camera up during the day

 

[cassie]

oh no worries Renee

I thought you might have been out or something so I kept an eye on her

hope your feeling better now?

all progress

can I ask what colour? markings? gender your after?? hehe

 

[anyssapark]

Nah, I was home - just a bit off. I am pregnant, and just the few nights of checking in on Ferige through the night had me so exhausted i felt sick. Its amazing how much these babies take from us! I know why Suzie sleeps like a log all night LOL

Well the foal can only be chestnut or palomino, with the chance of overo/sabino like Warrior & a 50% chance of greying.

I'd love a chestnut overo filly, or a solid palomino (maybe jsut with a blaze??) filly. But im pretty sure its going to be a colt. Fergie has been a wonderful filly producer for her last owner - and im sure i will be the one to break that run lol I am great at producing colts at my place

 

[cassie]

CONGRATULATIONS Renee!!! how exciting!! haha yeah haven't known that yet lol

well hoping you get what your wanting!!

filly fairy definitley needs to visit your place hehe

hope your feeling better, and Fergie's foaling is an easy one so it doesn't drain you and your baby too much.

 

[Wings]

Filly fairy is in high demand at the moment, I call dibbs!

I love chestnut pintos, there is somthing really strong about the colour contrast. I think it is more vibrant then the black and whites.

 

[cassie]

I have the same issue Diane, I don't know why... and I totally agree, Renee get some rest! we are here and I will ring you or msg you if anything!!! or I'll ring karen hehe

we don't want you overdoing yourself!! hehe

oh n one night after another? hmm I like it!!!

 

[cassie]

hmmm well we wouldn't be able to see her as she is out in the paddock, maybe Renee has turned the cam off during the day?

 

[cassie]

lol no worries Diane!

[anyssapark]

Thank you for the congrats, and for the help watching her. I think this foaling season is goign to be a draining one on me! lol

Cassie - yes, it rained all day here again. I've had enough!! The poor horses have too!!

The stupid energy australia people decided to try through our front paddock to measure power poles, when half of the paddock is literally under water - it looks like a dam! And these idiots try to drive through it. Of course they got bogged. Tore up my paddock. Then another one came to pull the first one out, and they got bogged too! I ended up having to go down and drag the pair of them out with the tractor. WHY anyone would try to drive through there in the first place is beyond me!!

They can pay to fix up my torn up paddock!

Ok... rant over LOL

Fergie is a little more relaxed behind today, and set the alarm off laying flat twice today- which she hasnt done the whole time she has had it on. We had a small amount of sunshine this morning, and she took the opportunity to have a snooze in it

Her milk is getting thicker, but pH is still at 8. So a little while to go yet.

 

[Wings]

Dont you just love it when the service people come onto your property? We have one lot, I think its the water people who like to go through our place to get to a bit of land they own that is in amongst the properties. They got really annoyed when I had the minis loose on the driveway last time and even more annoyed when I ripped into them over driving as fast as they did

Honestly most of the time they have no respect for the actual owner of the land. If I feel like grazing my mini on the drive I'll put them there!

 

[cassie]

oh yeah they are very frustrating!

n so dumb!!! what n awful thing to do, stupid people!!! yeah bring on the sunshine now!!!

where is the spring weather??

 

[cassie]

Morning Renee

I had fergie up with suzie last night

n watched at the times I was awake she was laying down sternal at about 3am but otherwise was standing quietly

Hope your feeling well this morning

 

[anyssapark]

Fergie is outside for the day, and i have set up the camera. Its very wet out there from all the rain - so puddles everywhere.

Her milk is still testing 8.

Not a lot of change in her this morning.

 

[cassie]

very wet here aswell...

is she relaxing more behind?
