First time pregnancy,..not sure how far she is

[JAX]

LOL I had a foal that i was having to bottle feed one time because mama made no milk, she was being a good mama otherwise so I was just going down every hour and feeding the filly, well one of those feedings I came down and checked the mare in the next pen as she was due at any time, nope shes just standing eating hay with her buddy mare. So I walk into the stall and about half way through the bottle i hear WHOOSH, darn it mares must have knocked their water bucket over and i need to remember to refill it before i head back up to house. Within 2 minutes I hear a nicker... that low nicker that you hear mamas making to a baby!!!! I poke my head out of the stall and the other mare has broken her water and pushed out a foal!!! I was not even 10 feet away and missed the whole thing!!! He only had his back legs in and was already laying upright soaking wet and trying to wiggle his goofy looking head to dry it off. Now thats the kind of birth I like!!!

Wow, talk about missing the show, and it was going on behind your back.

Yes it was and I thought they had just knocked over the water bucket...

And I had been foaling out for 15 years already when that happened!!! She just didnt look at all like she was ready. Those darn mares will fool you any way they can. Now I have a cam set up so I can be sneaky and watch from the comfort of my couch and when they think I am not looking...Hahaha

Unbelievabable no rain for almost 3 months and now we are looking like we are going to get another stom tonight.. It will be a wet one ...hahaha.. It was nice last night so of course Molly didnt have it then ..Now I am going to get wet again hahahaaha.... Good food for the rest of the horses though ...xx Here is a new photo of my other 3 horses who have also sat with me and Molly for the last 3 nights..In their own pen of course hahahha

 

[countrymini]

You have a lovely bunch

How's Molly been this arvo?

 

[kehranc]

Not doing much still all the same from yesterday but it was quite hot today.. It has cooled down and is spitting a bit now so I am hoping she will calm down and get this process moving along hahaha... Its dark again now so I have been going out to check on her every 15-20 mins so still exercising hahahaha

 

[countrymini]

lol, you need a can of V

 

[kehranc]

ahahahaha Yeah I am thinking I need a whole Carton hahahahhahaha

 

[countrymini]

Well I'm off to bed now, good luck with tonight!

 

[Bonny]

Your place is beautiful! And the horses are too!

Hows Molly this morning?

 

[kehranc]

Well I'm off to bed now, good luck with tonight!

no worries Hayley ..have a good sleep and hopeefully we will have some news in the mornig ...lol...thanks again for all your support

 

[kehranc]

Hey Bonny, Thankyou we love it out here and so do our animal family hahaha...Molly hasnt changed I think she was tricking us last might but I am on Molly watch tonight she is only about 15 metres away from us and I go out and check her every 20 mins .. But she is showing no signs tonight its like everthing has just stopped which is weird, but I am wondering if she is just trying to trick us so we are still going to be vigilant with the checks overnight...lol.. hopefully we have a foal by morning.

 

[jessj]

Well Molly...I am disappointed! No morning foal pics!! I guess we can wait a bit longer....

With our quarter horses, and even with our goats, I have noticed that we seem to have more births when it rains.

 

[JAX]

Molly...

are you gonna be one of those who will not spit it out till your mama falls over from exhaustion? Really girl???

 

[countrymini]

Catching up on some sleep are we?

 

[kehranc]

well guys , she is still making us wait.. It has started to rain again today just lightly so maybe she will get it together today hahahaha.... well being the weekend Hubby is home so I was able to get a bit more sleep this morning but she s just lazing around now

.. I will update soon ...

 

[countrymini]

C'mon Molly, we want to see your baby!

 

[kehranc]

Ok well still no foal

... so we have given Molly a wash today and a big brush, trimmed her mane and given her a big walk... so now she is all primped and looking beautiful she might feel ready to do this hahahahaha.... But it looks like Bindi might beat her

...hope some one has a foal soon this is driving me crazy...Come on MOlly and Bindi the countdown is on ...

 

[countrymini]

Unless Molly will hold out for another month at least, I don't think Bindi is even in the running lol. She still hasn't gone shopping for those udders, or if she has, she's being too picky about what ones she wants!

When you go out for your next Molly Check/Exercise, can you take the camera? Would love to see the 'new' Molly.

 

[kehranc]

ok Just took some more beauty photos of Miss Molly, she is playing alot nicer today and allowing me to take photos so I am assuming its because I gave her a make-over hahahahaa.....Her Udder is going down again today, although she is starting to kick the ground and get a bit sad looking i the last 30 mins ??? weird maybe she has had enough..?? or maybe she is exhausted after a big day
