Laney (*filly* 4/10-Tinkerbelle) *New pics pg 187*

[a mini dream come true]

I was watching you sitting with her. Any more changes?

 

[MeganH]

I came in to watch from the cam because she was watching me lol. She settled down a little with the tail swishing it was going non stop for a bit. Hooha is long and relaxed but she doesn't want me to look in there anymore. I couldn't get any milk so I really hope if she does foal soon her milk comes in quick.

EDIT- she also had a few mushy-ish poops before I went out to sit with her. She seems to have calmed down

 

[a mini dream come true]

Tonight could be the night.

I have her up and watching

 

[MeganH]

I hate how I have to have the cams rotating because you miss some of what she does when you can't see her..

She is swishing her tail around a lot and kicking and you can't tell on the cam really.

 

[MeganH]

Thanks, Diane

I think she has a little bit too. I am still watching her close. I think if she did go now there wouldn't be much of a warning. I am hoping she fills up so I can test her. I really do think she will get milk before foaling.. if not a full bag at least a good bit.

I am so tired I have to get to bed.

Goodnight and safe foalings!!

Sending prayers for a safe foaling and healthy baby...whether it's tonight or next week!lol

Morning all. It's 4.20am and all is quiet.

I agree with Diane cos she has started to bag up so there is no reason why she shouldn't finish. Her tummy is in a perfect "v" but that "V" will move forward when the baby is ready to come out. Diane, Anna could you post some forward "V" pics please

Megan you are a wonderful mum and right on top of every situation and Laney is lucky to have found you, so keep up the good work and sooner or later you will have your baby

All quiet at the moment. I must be mad and its a good job hubby isnt at home at the moment as I am checking the iphone through the night and tuning into the ladies in rotation LOL

 

[MeganH]

Morning

Thank you so much ladies

I really am hoping she does bag and is able to give me milk before foaling. Like you said Renee- she started bagging so why stop. I really think she will bag and I don't think it will take long once she starts to. I would like to see the forward 'v' shaped bellys if anyone can find any. Laney doesn't have a huge belly to begin with- she is a tall mare- but I think we will be able to see clearly when she does change shape.

I try to update as much as possible so I can look back and see the changes and so everyone who is watching knows what is going on. I would hate for everyone to think she isn't going and then she sneak one by us. I am so glad to have so many great eyes on her right now. Thank you all so much

udder this morning

Belly this morning

 

[a mini dream come true]

Megan, she is looking good

. A little more filling in the udder and we'll be ready to for the llittle one.

The updated pics are great! Thank you.

 

[bannerminis]

That udder just needs more fill and it will loose all the creases but that can happen very quickly from now on.

 

[MeganH]

Thanks ladies!

Wow those are some low 'v's Diane! Do you happen to remember how long it was before the mares foaled looking like that??

 

[Eagle]

Thanks Diane

 

[MeganH]

OH MY!! Thank you so much, Diane! I didn't mean to cause you so much trouble!

You are amazing!!

I can definitely say Laney's belly is nothing like any of your mares!

 

[AnnaC]

Sorry but I'm not one to take many pic of my girls on the run up to foaling never needed them before joining you folks here! Also in the past a lot of mine have foaled in March/April and their tummies or V's have mostly been hidden by the last remnants of their winter coats (dont do clipping either, naughty me!). Yes their tummies do 'dip' but it is not easy to see that V - will try to find a couple of pictures later so you can see what I mean!

 

[vickie gee]

Hi Megan. Looks like a bit more udder and she will be close.

 

[MeganH]

Poor Laney took a spill today outside. Ricky was running around and for some reason she started to run.. she slipped on her left side and her legs his the fence. She is ok (you know me I checked several times lol) but it seemed to scare her a bit.

I also had Ricky tied up on the far side of the yard grooming him and she neighed several times.. then she started to run, buck and trot! Never seen her do this! Only the second time I ever heard her voice too. I let Ricky off his lead and he ran straight to her (I had them separated today she was in the smaller paddock) and then she was quiet.

I am about to go feed so will update later.

 

[AnnaC]

I'm sure she will be fine Megan - poor little foal must have experienced a bit of a bump LOL!!

Perhaps try to persuade her to save her high spirits for when she's having her turn in the big pasture?? LOL!!

 

[Eagle]

Oh gosh I bet you were frightened. My gelding blacki is always messing around and often ends up with his feet in the air and I have kittens every time.

I noticed yesterday that she was looking for Ricky, maybe she is getting maternal?
