Four mares up on cam now

[AnnaC]

That dog is a great poo picker!! LOL!!

 

[Eagle]

yeah me too but then she let them out, I bet she was just checking down under for shopping

 

[AnnaC]

I'm sure she was Renee, but I had just tumed in and all I could see was a brilliant white light, an Amanda shape, a Fly shape doing something with Amanda and then Amanda standing to one side while Fly kept circling for a short while, so I got a bit concerned!!

 

[Eagle]

me too, that is exactly what happened to me, I have just come in from feeding cos it is 18.15 here. Anna I am sending you a pm

 

[AnnaC]

Will watch out for it Renee - it's 5.15 and I have to go do the boys in a moment, so maybe later before I answer!

All is well everyone. Fly is fine, but she is trying hard to be the next foaler I think. Her udder is bigger and she has milk, more than the other girls right now (not oily enough though, but heading there), her vulva is deep reddish/pink and loose. And her back legs are not obeying her anymore. I actually saw her fall down last night when she was trying to get an extra good butt rub, she fell over!! She's out there plodding slowly around right now, but not really enjoying herself. I wonder if she hurt herself running around yesterday.

Mind you, LB and Nellie are the same. they all just want back in the barn, but I think they need some movement to get those babies going. Tonight would be so perfect. It is plus 13 today and not supposed to go below 6 degrees tonight. Perfect foaling weather. NOw I just have to convince the mares. Charming so wants to have a little buddy to run and play with.

Oh well, there is nothing I can do to convince them. Babies will come when they are ready.

 

[vickie gee]

I know they just will not listen. I always tell Choctaw "don't have that baby when I am not here with you". But she does not pay me any mind. And I always ask Faith "when are you going to have us that baby?" The most I ever got on that was an annoyed look.

 

[weerunner]

Suppertime checks: LB has slightly oily milk now, which is a small step forward for her, but still not testing ready. Fly continues to have a loose vulva and medium sized udder which is very warm right now (but it is warm outside). Nellie has a loose vulva too, but not as pink inside as fly's. It's anyones game, and to be honest I dont care who goes as long as someone does, it is such a lovely evening for a foaling. Warm as mid summer for gosh sakes. Well that's all I've got for now, will most likely do a 10pm check and update if anything new arises.

 

[weerunner]

Vickie Gee, I haven't missed one yet, but I know if I'm at this long enough I will. Just hope when it happens it is not a mare that needs my help. I absolutely must be there for Fly as this is her first.

 

[cassie]

all girls standing quietly at 9:26pm if you need to get some rest Amanda let me know I'm here at the office today, will be out shortly but otherwise will be around

 

[weerunner]

I'm going to go do udder checks right now Cassie and if things look unimpressive, I might take you up on that. It would be nice to get more than 3 hours sleep.

 

[cassie]

yeah go for it! even if I'm at lunch I can get the cams up! I will keep checking just in case saw you out there.

 

[weerunner]

Ok Cassie. Fly is acting very odd. She made a big thing out of me checking her udder and it is full and hot. So hot that I took her temp to make sure she doesn't have a infection or something. Shes very down (but her temperature is just fine). Still no milk to speak of though. But with her being a maiden, it might not come until foaling.

I'm going to go lay down at about 11 my time. If you would like to watch them for a couple hours that would be great. Let me know on here or on my email - [email protected]

thanks so much

amanda

 

[cassie]

sounds like it won't be long! I will keep them up

 

[weerunner]

Ok, thanks so much. Will have the phone next to my bed.

 

[cassie]

Nell down sternal resting at 11:49pm Fly n LB both standing quietly

 

[cassie]

Fly has just gone down sternal at 12:37am

 

[cassie]

have to go pick up my little bro from school... will be 15-20 minutes... Renee should be around shortly though, Fly still down sternal so hoping she won't do anything while I'm gone...

 

[Eagle]
