Alright so here are pictures of Gem taken this morning.. dont know if she has changed since a few weeks ago but maybe u guys can predict when she will foal?

I'm going to take a try at this and let the experienced aunties correct me if I'm wrong but I think you have a while to go. Baby has to move forward and I do believe you'll see waxing on the nipples. My mare foaled last night and I just knew she was going to foal because she started leaking and also her hoo haw became very elongated. Now I'll wait to see what the other aunties say. She's a beautiful mare!

 

[miniaturehorselover]

Thank u she had a foal before and didnt wax until she foaled...

 

[LittleRibbie]

Yup...I'd have to agree...she has some time to go. In your little video she reminded me of a little Snowball...but now she looks like she found the mud holes LOL...isn't that always the way. She sure is a cutie even with her dirty bum!!

P.S. you've done a great job with her trick training

 

[cassie]

she looks wonderful! and I have to agree with the other aunties, a little bit more cooking for that little munchkin yet

 

[miniaturehorselover]

How long do u think? And how long can they be in foal until?

 

I had a mare who carried a full 365 days every year. And I know some have even gone over a year. But my average was 340+ days.

Cause im wondering.. she was bred last july u would think she would of foaled by now?

How about a pic of her udder taken from behind so we can see if she getting ready

 

[miniaturehorselover]

alright i will take one today

 

[MountainWoman]

My mare that foaled on June 7th had a due date of April 15th. They can make you wait.

 

[miniaturehorselover]

yeah the girl at the rescue i got her from said that she was due in april... so i was getting ready but since i didnt see no foal i started making her swim and get exercises but now i put it at pause cause the farrier said to watch for a foal in the next couple of weeks because her stomach is more front words then a fat horse so now im waiting

Gem today

 

[cassie]

looks like maybe the start of some filling on the right teat? not 100% certain but looks like something there

she is looking good otherwise, lovely girl.

 

[miniaturehorselover]

I was thinking the same thing today.. shes bigger on one side then the other.. is that normal? She looks normal on one side but big on the other

 

[Eagle]

Any chance you could retake the first pic but make sire you are standing square behind her so we get a full view of her udder

she looks like she is getting close.

 

[MountainWoman]

Yes, lopsided is normal. She's looking great!

 

[miniaturehorselover]

Gem today seems to be bagging up more

 

[Eagle]

Thanks, that first shot is perfect, take one exactly the same in a few days so we can compare

Baby is still riding high so you have a little while to go ( but we all know how fast they can change) so carry on keeping a close eye on her.

 

Good girl Gem! She's showing progress and that is ALL good!
