trust Diane to cheat

 

[MeganH]

Thats right! Nobody guessed shed pass on any spots!

What are the chances she will pass spots down since she wasn't bred to an Appy?

OH I found one of her colts online.. Bay Appy.. I will go get the link..

what a cutie

My dipinto was from a pinto and a grey so it could happen

o.k so I will change my mind too, I say sorrel pintaloosa

I see that your hubby is putting up the boards in Laneys stable. I was worried there for a minute that he would have a wardrobe malfunction and we would get a flash of builders bottom

 

[bannerminis]

Oh and I meant to say that Laney looks to have more of a V to her tummy this evening

 

[a mini dream come true]

Wow all the changes today. ok March 17th pintoloosa filly at 11:40 pm . She is sounding promising.

 

[cassie]

yeah I saw hubby there too LOL your are funny Karina!

I was also thinking she is looking more pointy in the bum aswell... won't be long! oh I am SO excited for you Megan! your going to get your gorgeous little baby really soon!! yippee she looks so very good

 

[MeganH]

LOL Karina. I'm surprised you didn't see a wardrobe malfunction. He must have remembered he was on camera lol

The foal is SO active today. Very strong kicks and Laney is kicking right back lol Here is a video from dinner:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GR64jeoJdDs

Udder is still the same. No changes during the day. Decent size and firm but not rock hard. I will check again tonight. She did NOT want me to touch her udder at all. I don't think I will be able to test her milk. I will just keep quickly checking for firmness and see if she gets more comfortable with it.

Lots of tail swishing and belly kicks all day.

I added your guess to the list, Hazel

 

[cassie]

very exciting Megan

maybe hubby can hold Laney while you test her milk? might be an idea?? its good to get her used to her checking her udder... just a suggestion

 

[MeganH]

We could try that, Cassie. I think if she fills more and doesn't foal in the next week we will try to milk her one more time. She is very timid with her feet and to deworm- really fights you bad.. so I don't want her to flip out and then not trust me while she is foaling if I need to assist. I have these milk strips though and was so excited to be able to use them! I had a real hard time trying to milk her the other day and got nothing but maybe it will be easier soon.

Here is a video of Ricky from today. He is the funniest thing. I may put music on this video.. watch it and tell me if I should. I have another from today and he was messing with the poo bucket in that one. I may upload that tomorrow.



The cam is getting blurry to me and I don't think it has been this bad before.. I may need to change some of the settings. When she is far off in her paddock it is hard to tell what she is doing.

I will go check her soon and report my findings.

 

[MeganH]

Alright! I had to really coax Laney into letting me get a shot of her hooha. Took me a while and curry combing her hind end then sneaking the shots after 10 minutes of trying finally worked and LOOK! I'd say that is relaxed!

Her udder is a little more full since dinner too

Still not separated from behind but it is firm to the touch.

I tried to mess with the camera and it is not on my end with the pixilation issues.. the input of the video on my computer is perfect but the output to stream is pixilated. It is going to be hard to watch if she is at the far end of the paddock but you could def tell if she was down and flat.

Getting excited! I think she will go soon!

 

[a mini dream come true]

Looks to me like it won't be too long. Yeah! I'm excited for you Megan. Go Laney!

 

[cassie]

gosh he is funny with that hair,

you better just be careful with it from now on Megan, ingested hair can cause colic... and I know you don't want that for Ricky.

he is such a gorgeous young man though! any more luck with the lead training?

I have changed mine a little instead of clucking to Finn I now say walk on then give him the treat when he does... don't know if that will help at all. I know Ricky is older then Finn

have you found out anything more with getting him gelded??

saw you out with Laney how is she?

 

[cassie]

oops sorry took me a long time to post that as I was in between customers LOL

WOW she is really looking good!! hmmm I reckon she will go mid next week sometime lol wish I could change my date hehe YAY go Laney!

 

[MeganH]

I didn't think the hair was good for him luckily he didn't swallow any because I was worried! I could not help but laugh at him he is such a character. He flattened his ball again (the plug keeps coming out) so he was just looking for trouble.

We wanted him done before April- and are hoping Laney will also foal soon so she can get her rabies when the vet comes to do Ricky. I have a new vet I am wanting to hear from who may do the gelding. His 'plums' have dropped more for sure so I would hope if I can't get the new vet the old vet would be able to do them.

I haven't worked with Ricky again yet. If my daughter takes a good nap tomorrow I will have to try. I do like saying the word and getting him to respond better then the click. I think I actually do both. We lunge Jake all the time and he is SO well trained but we haven't figured how he was lunged so getting him to come to a stop is taking some time. We haven't figured out the cue they used.

I hope she goes in the next 2 weeks! Preferably this week or by next Tuesday because we have 2 things scheduled next week I can't reschedule.. one I will be fined $50 if I can't make it and don't give a 24 hr notice (cats are getting spayed) and the other is a meeting at my son's school.

 

[MeganH]

Ok I am going to bed. Please text/call if I need to get up and go out to check her! Goodnight

 

[vickie gee]

Hey quirkies. lol. I just left a msg on the main forum for a lady that needs to start a thread here. I don't know if she has a barn cam for view or not but hey I did not so I know she will get loads of help here no matter. Anyway, hope she shows up. Gotta run. It has been one of those days. It is 10 and I just cooked me dinner. Thud. I am too tired to find the little emoticon. Ok, hope somebody gets a pretty foal and I will check in for a pit stop in the wee hours of morning. zzzzz

 

[MeganH]

Good morning

Laney's bag is about the same as last night. maybe a little bigger. Hooha still looks relaxed. Laney is still breathing heavy but not quite as bad as yesterday. Baby must be in an uncomfortable position. She was biting her belly and scratching her head this morning. I think she had a quiet night last night.
