Gracie's Mini Mommas' To Be Page- All done foaling! Five Healthy Foals!!

[palsminihorses]

They are all just beautiful!!

Jasmine refused to perform tonight at the BBQ. I just tested her milk about an hour ago after everyone left and this time she changed five squares within about 10 seconds, so I think we will have a baby by morning according to her milk test. She is a bit more alert acting tonight with head up at times as if looking for something and a lot of front and rear leg shifting. Her udder and nipples are both very full as well. Her hooha is swollen but I still think it could be more relaxed, but she definitely scrunches it up when you take a peak. Her tail head has less control and the foal appears to have moved up in to her hip area (does not look as pregnant as she did). I am praying for this lil girl's safe delivery of a healthy foal.

Hoping for a safe foaling!! Update us asap

Oh my, Sandy your babies are just tooo cute! my hearts just melt when I see them! especially the ones with Gracie hugging them or kissing them!! 3 gorgeous little cutie babies! I love Selena's star! one of my big wishes to have in a horse is a gorgeous large star like what Selena has!!! good thing you guys are on the other side of the world!!! LOL

come on Jasmine we want to see your pretty little baby to please!!!

Well Jasmine is refusing to give up her baby!! I was up almost all night staring at the camera because she was a bit restless and not her usually quiet self. She did lay down several times last night but never for very long. I got my Foal Test Strips and tried those this morning. It shows on that test(color wise) in between 6 & 6.4. Predict A Foal shows a all 5 boxes colored within 10 seconds. According to Predict A Foal, she should have foaled 24 hours ago. LOL! Jasmine says otherwise.

These new test strips are so cool cause I could even test Margarita who is not due until June 1 but I can get a drop or two out of her nipples. She tested 8.0

I can't stop taking pictures of the three babies we have so far. Since you guys love minis too, I can't help but post them here.

Here is Superman who is now becoming a little toad. The dog bites have not slowed him down and with his mom being a milk cow and he is now trying to eat grain and hay as well, it is adding to his pudginess. Are you sure he has no dwarf characteristics with him being so little and his larger head? That post on the main forum about the little possible dwarf filly has me panicking....

And here is Rocky (with my hubby) who is also getting a lot of good groceries.

more pics please

we love all the pics we can get and always want more hehe!!

Superman is GORGEOUS!!! and no way at all dwarf in my opinion!! his head is stunning, his neck and shoulder lovely long and sloping (not short and stumpy and square chest that is common in dwarf) he has lovely long legs and a slim tummy! nope I defintiely do not think he is a dwarf

just a little baby boy! ;D when my little foal was born he was only 17" tall and he isn't dwarf at all

he is still only 27" tall at 7 months old and an absoloute snuggle bug and teddy bear! (especially with his winter fluff LOL) I'm sure eeverything is fine with your very handsome man! can we see new pics of Selena and Rocky please??

 

[Sandy B]

And finally here is Selena. Do you think she is going to have blue eyes? It is hard to tell as they are not ice blue like Superman's.

Thank you Cassie for the vote of confidence. We think Superman is precious but we are blinded by him being our first mini baby and his challenges.

I have posted pictures of Rocky and Selena too!

It is so amazing how hairy these beggers can get. It really makes you want to cuddle with them.

Please keep sharing pics cos they sure are worth seeing

The Foal Time Test Strips you mean? They are so quick to use compared to Predict A Foal!

Superman doesn't look at all dwarfy to me, and the first pic is adorable

Selena just looks like she has those foal blues, unless they are ice blue they don't tend to last.

I know what you mean about photo addiction! My guys get stalked for at least the first 3 months.

 

[Eagle]

Yes Sandy I meant Foal-Time strips, sorry my world is a blur this morning. I agree with Bree and see no Dwarf in Superman, he is just one little cutie.

haha yes Bree, but then I think your camera goes into hiding and we don't see it again until the next lot of foals come along!!!

I really hope Selena keeps her blue eyes! she is so gorgeous! blue eyes would just be the icing on the cake (in my opinion!!

)

 

[Sandy B]

Laying in bed watching Jasmine. She is doing an awful lot of aimless stall walking. Just maybe....

 

[Sandy B]

We have lots of yawning going on too!!!

 

[Sandy B]

Boy! That was FAST!!! A bay tobiano filly!! She is beautiful & Jasmine made it look easy!
