Four mares up on cam now

[cassie]

Ladybug down sternal resting... Fly just got up... was that some yawning just then? hmmm Nell and Marcella up grazing stall looking mega fat LOL

 

[cassie]

Some MEGA butt rubbing from Ladybug right now!!! WOW! she got up was doing heaps of tail swishing then started rubbing and is still going!!!

 

[a mini dream come true]

Maybe we'll be babies tonight

Does anyone know what happened in Nell's stall? I am late getting on as I am having internet problems.

The gate between Nell and Marcella is open and I can't see Marcella

 

[Eagle]

O.K now I see her, I think I will watch them and see if they are o.k and wait a little longer until I call Amanda cos it is 4.00am .

 

[Eagle]

No, I changed my mind I am just too worried. Calling now.

Spoke to hubby. phewwwwwwwww

 

[weerunner]

Thanks so much Renee. Poor Marcella was very upset, she was pinned in the back corner of the stall and Nellie was having a grand time with her expanded stall. Sheesh. I have Ladybug and Fly's stall chained so that can't happen but never had that happen between Nell and Marcella. I guess they got into some crazy butt rubbing or some thing. Anyways, I've got baler twine on there for now to prevent it and I will buy a chain for it tomorrow.

Now I owe you Renee. I bet your tally will grow as the next few weeks roll along. I'll keep track. I'll owe you and Cassie a meal out on the town before this is all over.

EVERYBODY"S udders are bigger this morning. I'll post pics in awhile after hubby gets off the big computer, I'm on my laptop right now.l

thanks again Renee!!!

Not a problem at all Amanda, that is what we watch for, to make sure the girls are o.k. I really didn't want to wake you but I was worried that Marcella would be squashed as you said or maybe do something silly like have a foal.

Unfortunately I was late on today cos it is snowing and my connection kept dropping

I hope she wasn't squashed for too long

I hope you are back in bed and snoring now anyway.

Morning Amanda

 

[weerunner]

Morning Renee. The horses were very pleased with their mid morning appetizer today. I told them it was thanks to Aunty Renee.

Here are the promised udder pics. Slow progression is the name of the game here in my barn.

Nellie, doesn't look like much, but i can feel she's making small changes.

Ladybug is begining to take this a bit more seriously, but this girl usually has a HUGE udder by foaling time.

Fly, this one I see them most change in the last day.

Marcella, still pointing inwards, so a bit more time for her too I'd say.

That's it for today. Off to work, have a good safe day everyone.

 

[Eagle]

I am off to bed now, I will try and watch the girls when I wake but I won't be around for the whole night as I have to take the kids out, sorry.

 

[weerunner]

Have fun with the kids Renee. The girls do not have any huge indicators that they are close. I'll stay up as late as I can. Chained all 3 pieces of the gates between stalls today, so no worries about them getting that separated again.

I'm watching Amanda

will try be on and watching as much as I can..

can I ask... are there other people on marewatchers watching your girls as well?

 

[weerunner]

yes there are lots of friends and family also watching here and there. I have a good friend that is a night owl that stays up til about 3 am most nights. And as we get closer I will be on guard all night long myself. But for right now I am just trying to get in as much normal sleep as I can, because I know that it is going to be tough going for the next 3 weeks or so.

Please dont feel you have to watch all the time. I appreciate any time you can give.

they all seem a little restless tonight.

 

[cassie]

you know we love to watch any mares Amanda, and your girls are extra special! no chance of us not watching!! LOL so don't even think about it!!

 

[Eagle]

That's good to know that someone is watching until 3.00am cos that is when I usually sign in.

The girls were all well behaved tonight

It's now 6.20 and I guess they will be demanding breakfast soon

 

[Eagle]

Thank goodness the breakfast lady has arrived cos Bug was throwing a major tantrum

I see the camera is out

 

[weerunner]

Things are pretty much the same as yesterday for the girls. I'm seeing slight changes but nothing radical. The weather is very cold this morning and tomorrow rain or snow (horse most likely in the barn for the day). I'm happy enough for the foals to stay put until the weather gets a little nicer.

Their gestations are as follows for today:

Marcella =307

Nellie=317

Fly=309

Ladybug=302

Buffy- 184 - I'm going to assume she is only 6 months along as her udder is not doing anything new, might even be decreasing, but will keep monitoring her.

Carmel-192

We're getting there.

 

[a mini dream come true]

Thanks for the update. Stay warm. I don't blame you for wanting the little ones to stay put for a few days.
