Four mares up on cam now

[weerunner]

Well, because I can't say much about the other pregnant mare's progress I'm posting some more pics of Charming out in the mini corral getting some exercise.

Oh and i should add that Fly's vulva is extremely loose. It has that slack, puffed out "I'm about to push a baby through here" look. And it is bright red/pink. But her udder is not that firm and her nipple are not filled. Do you all think she might foal and then get her milk, she is a maiden and I've only had one other maiden but she had a huge udder and milk when she foaled.

Oh Diane that mare is gorgeous. Ok, now you've got me nervous for Fly. She's my very first mini foal born here at my barn. I'll be extra vigilant tonight. That vulva just seems to scream that she does not have long to go and she is at day 323, so fair game as far as the gestation goes.

Wish me luck on this one.

Good news Amanda is that the kids are back to school tomorrow, parents are gone and my car is broken so I will be glued to the screen from about 2.00 am ish

 

[weerunner]

Awesome EAgle. I missed knowing you were there from 2am on. Mind you I am sorry that your car is broken.

 

[Eagle]

yeah darn gear box has gone, it is in guarantee but it means I am car less for a while.

 

[weerunner]

Well, thank goodness for the warranty. Doens't look like much will be going on tonight with my girls. But you just never know, someone might decided to go without their milk being ready. That's all Im waiting for in all three.

WOW what a gorgeous man you have Amanda!!!! YAY for Marcella what a good mummy!

sorry I haven't been around, but it is a new week and I will be watching the other three when I can... if you like Amanda I will let you know when I am on watching so you can get some much needed sleep...

Charming what a gorgoeus name for a gorgeous man! have you thought of a show name? I hope it has something to do with Prince Charming!

My vet is the same won't give me finnadine... but one of the vets that work there Kylie she is lovely, and let me pick some up for Finn the other day when he was starting to colic.... so I think I would be able to get some from her... she knows me quite well and knows I am a vet nurse so I'm hoping to use that to my advantage

any change on your other girls? any filling of the teats for LB?

 

[weerunner]

I'm just heading out to feed the girls right now, so will update if anything looks promising. IN the meantime, here is the video of Huybers Utopia Prince Charmings birth. Quick and easy, just how we all like it to be.

 

[cassie]

saw you in there with them Amanda... how are they looking?

 

[MeganH]

I just watched some of your foaling videos. I love how you talk to all your mares and are so calm. I am going to keep going through all the foaling videos you have to prepare myself for Laney's delivery. Awesome how you video them like that! Thank you for sharing!

 

[weerunner]

No problem, I love watching the videos afterwards, because you tend to forget details after it is all over. Ladybugs udder is even bigger than before if you can imagine such a thing. Still only a drop or two of clear, pale yellow , slightly sticky liquid though. So I put down straw to encourage her to go ahead. LOL, well she enjoys picking around in it to find her hay anyways if nothing else it stops her from weaving as much.

 

[vickie gee]

Wow, Ladybug looks like she is just waiting on a green light to GO! Thanks for the video. Watching it I know that I missed at least the first minute of Faith's foaling. She was doing the back leg kicking thing before I got dressed and ran out the door. Again, wow.

 

[cassie]

Ladybug all the sudden very restless!! ltos of tail swishing belly kicking... then butt pressing, she is now doing a wee... very interesting... I will watch her closley

 

[Eagle]

wow! she is part cow

2.30am and I am watching

3.20am and LB is acting a bit strange

 

[cassie]

I'm watching... Fly is down sternal... Ladybug standing in the corner 3:55am

Nell and Marcella standing, Charming sleeping <3

 

[cassie]

hmm, Fly looked a little strange just then... I'm guessing she was just trying to get comfy... but I can't see her behind and hmmm well I don't know it kinda looking like she was pushing... but I doubt it... come on Fly please move for me!

 

[cassie]

[Eagle]
