High Plains Foal Season 2021

[Flying on boo]

Thank you, I was considering an ultrasound but also did it so I could see/feel movement easier. Plus she’s coming up on 250 days so I want to continue to keep a look out for abnormal development.

Oh that makes sense

Well Rhythem is really starting to show that foal belly at 265 days. Still a long way to go. Bonus picture of my 2020 colts recent hair cut. He is a whole 27.5 inches tall. Hoping to hit the show ring with him this year!

269 days today and Rhythem got a major hair cut. Getting into the 80s now. Just too warm for a thick winter coat. Too bad I can’t post a video, the foal was kicking up a storm today. Good to see considering she’s barely showing.

What a pretty girl! Kinda jealous of all the foal movement and temp in the 80's, we're back to -15C again last night. Enjoy your spring!!

Last year I sold a mare in foal to my stallion. I hated to, but she didn’t quite fit in my program. Well she just foaled a healthy tiny colt. Cannon bones only 6.5 inches long which means he should mature at only 28 inches.
Also, I am hoping to have my live stream up soon for anyone that wants to watch. I know there are several possibly expecting foals. If y’all ever decide y’all want to try to stream, Marewatchers is well worth it. In fact they caught this little guys foaling at 4:15 am.

WOW!!! He is gorgeous!

WOW!!! He is gorgeous!

Thank you! I'm excited to see how he turns out. The mares owner (who is a good friend) is very pleased with him.

I will post a real update on my girl soon. Not much going on yet. Once I get my cams up I’ll post it too. In the meantime...I’m helping watch this mare named Stormy. She’s technically a pony at about 13 hh. She’s literally 420 (I think) days in foal. Crazy pony won’t foal lol. But she’s finally testing ready tonight. If anyone wants to watch and possible catch the foaling, here is the link! MW Rental 1 Streaming By MareWatchers

This is program I stream with. It’s a really awesome group on Facebook too. So if any of y’all want to see extra updates on her y’all should join the group! Also because it’s agood way to waste your time watching mares....

My mistake....she’s actually 421 days at a minimum...talk about a long foal watch

 

[elizabeth.conder]

Well that pony mare is all waxed up and hopefully will foal tonight!

 

[Willow Flats]

Let's hope so! I watched her for an hour last night and she looked uncomfortable. I thought for sure I was going to miss it like I did with yours last year!

She is pretty dramatic. Gets upset a LOT. But seems very uncomfortable and off the last 24 hrs and has been testing ready for 3ish days. All the way down to 6.0 the last 24 hrs. So I’m hoping it’s early tonight!

 

[Taz]

That's unreal!! I don't have home internet so can't watch her but can you please post when she foals and a picture?

 

[elizabeth.conder]

Well, no foal last night. But she is now dripping milk quite quickly. So hopefully it will be soon, maybe even during the day. I will definitely share a picture! It might come out with all its teeth and full grown LOL

Finally, day 424, Stormy has a colt!
