[cassie]

YAY Bonny, I can get Katie up, finally!! hopefully just in time to see her foal!

oh yes would love to know the time there please

I will be watching now

 

[weerunner]

It's 8 am here my time, Katie is calmly eating. Bonny, your Katie and my Carmel are at the same gestation I think. Carmel is at day 296 today, her udder is not very big but her milk is telling me she doesn't have a month left to wait. This will be fun to see who goes first.

 

[Bonny]

Hey Amanda! Its on!

Well no big changes last night or this am. Udder is still firm but not her foaling udder. Tail seems to have less resistance than yesterday. Still semi jello butt.

I tested her milk last night to get a base reading, I dont know why I did, last year she didnt test ready till an hour before foaling. Anyway, well its 8.4 ph and just over 100 on cal....

Got new side view pic this am, I swear I can see the outline of the foals back!



BTW I am so glad yall can see now

 

[Eagle]

Wow that belly looks heavy poor girl.

 

[Bonny]

Well I just fed and checked Katie, her udder is much firmer than earlier today...Will update at 10 with pictures

 

[cassie]

Hi Bonny I see you out there with her, she seems very agitated... lots of pacing and tail swishing, is t his normal for her? she is such a lovely mare I can't wait to see her little baby!!

 

[Bonny]

She gets aggravated right around dark for a while because the huge horseflies come out. Nassty beggers they are. I skipped check, and just checked at 120. She is doing good, her udder is much firmer, Her vulva is hanging again.

With the way she looks I just expect to find her udder there any day now. I just dont know if she can hang on 3 more weeks to her usual due date.

 

[Bonny]

Color, well I would love another buckskin! Or silver buckskin.....But Honestly a silver black would be great too....This foal will be for driving so flashy is good...

 

[cassie]

Katie down sternal... a bit of tail swishing and tummy looking but otherwise quiet,

 

[Bonny]

No major changes since 120 am. Vulva very red inside. She seems cranky. I will let her out for a bit today on the grass...will check her again around 1030 am then let her out.

 

[Eagle]

How is she doing Bonny? Hhmmmm I wonder if you are off playing with a new baby! I can't wait to get home and check your cam

 

[Bonny]

Same ol same ol right now!

No big changes since last night. Vulva is tighter again, udder is still bigger firmer but not doing anything different.

Katie is out munching will be locked back in her stall around 6. Check at 10 and 12 barn time

(centrel time zone Houston Texas)

 

[Bonny]

So tonight at 630 feeding, Katies udder feels like there is more of a back to it. However she is being ugly tonight and doesnt want me looking!

She is miserable, dragging her feet hanging her head. BUT every time I go near her with the camera she scoots away, squinches up her vulva and her udder!

when she is walking away i can see its hanging low, but in pics its not..weird!

However she is also standing parked out today when she eats. I was able to see her udder from the side today.

So here is tonights side view pic:

 

[Bonny]

Lol, isnt that the truth!

For fun, how about guessing the gender?

So far Katie has had 3 fillies, and the stallion has thrown 3 fillies.....

But I am going to guess Colt.

 

[cassie]

she is sure looking ready to pop!! hmmm, well I'm going to say colt as well, as thats what my mare did LOL three fillies previously then my lovely little man came along LOL

what colour is daddy?

 

[Bonny]

Daddy is solid black. one spot of white above back hoof.

Katies V is hanging again tonight, very swollen and red....her udder is not there. This is at midnight check..will check 530 am...

 

[cassie]

Katie was just down sternal... and has now just got up, butt rubbing...

hey Bonny can you list your numbers on the first page of your thread please? for when the time comes that she foals and we need to contact you? Thanks

hmmm

hope you get a real nice golden buckskin

maybe a little white on him

like a nice star, or some socks/ stockings

 

[AnnaC]

She certainly looks ready to pop!! Come on Katie we need to see what you have been hiding all this time!

 

[Wings]

I'm guessing buckskin colt!

 

[Bonny]

Ok Day 306......

Katies udder is much bigger, but not full and tight. her V is still loose red inside. Foal still not in position. Sigh lol!
