Happy Appy Acres - Sugar **colt 5/2**and Cheerio angel filly 5/10

[Eagle]

I am going to go to bed soon cos I am exhausted and it is 10.00 pm here (I didn't sleep much last night) I will let you know when I am awake and watching, it will probably be around 2.00 am cam time.

 

[Eagle]

The girls are much quieter tonight

 

[happy appy]

lol that Cheerio sure likes her beauty sleep! This morning Cheerio's poop is back to normal but now Sugar has the patties. We set up a cam in the barn to see if we could see what was out there bothering the girls the other night but all we saw was the stray barn cat that we inherited when we bought the farm. Can't get anywhere near it but we have been feeding it for years.

Stray cats are hard to tame, I have several that hang around my barn and eat but they run a mile when they see me

They hate it during foaling season cos I spend hours at night sitting in my chair watching the girls and they are too afraid to come in so they have to sleep outside

both grils sternal, then Sugar went flat and rested for a little then back sternal and are now both looking very comfy!

 

Just LOVE how you and Renee do that! So cute to see them BOTH resting so nicely!

They look so content!

I have a barn cat that loves my husband, but the only time I can pet him is at his food dish. Even then it's only half the time... Funny, 'cause I'm the cat person and my hubby's allergic!

 

[happy appy]

lol They always seem to go to the ones that are allergic! Well Cheerio has the baby back into position. Her belly moved forward since last night, she is relaxed and long in the vulva, with red coming in. Her udder is hard and warm but not full. Hopefully it's a sign that foaling is moving right along.

 

[cassie]

ooh here's hoping! lol I'm not getting any work done because my screen is filled up with mares hehe

come on Cheerio! bring on the baby!

 

[cassie]

Yawning from sugar ATM... Both girls haven't been down at all yet tonight which is unusual

 

[cassie]

Sugar was just down for a little while, not the lovely long rests that we usually see from her, she was sternal for a little while went flat no more then a minute then was back up... she was walking backward for a few seconds also...

 

[cassie]

Cheerio down sternal...

 

[happy appy]

I had a panic attack today. I looked at the girls on my phone from school and it looked like sugar had feet sticking out her back end. I even had my husband leave work to make sure. She didn't seem like she was in labour so I was panic'd

 

[Gone_Riding]

That would be scary! Is she okay?

 

Sounds like Cheerio is headed for the final turn! Come on Cheerio!!

Sounds like you had a scary sight on your phone. So glad all was well!

Come on ladies! It's time.......

 

[happy appy]

Everything turned out fine but wow what a scare for me!

 

[cassie]

oh it would be! I have to take a second glance at Cheerio quite a few times when she is down as I think I see things also :/ glad all was ok...

 

[happy appy]

The girls were only out for a very short time tonight. It is pouring rain and a big storm is coming tomorrow until through the weekend. Rain, freezing rain and snow is forecasted. I guess spring is on hold.

 

[Eagle]

Thanks for the update

Any chance of some new pics when you get time ?

 

[happy appy]

I only have my phone camera, daughter lent my good camera to her friend and I'm still waiting to get it back. I will try and get some tonight! The udder shots just don't work with the phone camera, because it's too close. They are just too low to the ground to get back far enough! lol
