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

[StarRidgeAcres]

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?

Renee, do you by chance have a pic of you having kittens? THAT I want to see!

Megan, I'm sure your mare is fine, but I do understand it freaking you out a bit. They are pretty tough creatures, especially when it comes to their bodies protecting those little unborn ones.

Keeping an eye on her.

I was wondering the same thing, Renee. Maybe she was worried if Ricky was ok. Maternal instinct.

She is fine. I know it did scare her a bit but when I walked over to her she seemed only a bit out of breath. Baby was kicking up a storm to LOL.. "What was THAT for, MOM?!"

As long as Laney doesn't make some big progress over night I will probably let them out together tomorrow.

 

[cassie]

I have her up Megan, sorry I haven't been around but later this week everything will be back to normal...

8:16pm n Laney is standing to the left of the stable... looking big and miserable! I am SO excited for you and laney and her baby!! can't wait!

I'll find some pics of Suzie just before she had Finn, she didn't get that realy big V like Diane's little girls but you can see the change, when I get home I'll post them on here if you like I was looking at pics of Finn when he was a day old I can't believe how tiny he was!!!! there is nothing better then a gorgeous little newborn foal!! I just love it so much!! you are going to be the best mum to your new little baby I can't wait to see you enjoying her!! lol

oh n Finn's first rug was 50 cm or 19" thats what it says on the rug... I tried putting his bigger rug on him today LOL didn't fit over his fat tummy because it is a dog rug it doesn't have any leg straps and just slides all over the place. LOL they are all going to be going to boot camp! lol fun and games! i just found this really good book called "mini School" its got so much great stuff in there, you might be interested in it? maybe

Nice to see Laney holding on for me

Tell her she either has to go before this weekend before I vanish on another show trip or hold on until I get back!

 

[cassie]

hey Bree what show were you at? when is Tamworth on?

 

[MeganH]

Oh Cassie don't worry! I know you have been so busy. I am glad everything will be back to normal for you soon. I would love to see pics of Suzie before she foaled. I am definitely getting very excited! I got a blanket for the foal but I think it is a little big. It was 20"-23" but they measured from the shoulder to the butt so I think this one will be a better fit for Ricky not the foal. I was just looking up training things online today. I really want to trick train Ricky. He will be gelded in the next couple of weeks. I am going to try to work out that he gets gelded when the vet comes to check the foal and give Laney and Ricky their rabies shots.

It is supposed to rain this week so I am thinking of stalling Laney at night when it rains. I feel bad for her though because it is so small. I will have to clean it out a few times during the night too because she has been pooping so much it will be a complete mess!

I will probably post pictures tonight after I check her once more. There was a tiny bit of liquid bloody discharge I could see on her hooha earlier today- looks like what I saw last week when she lost her plug but just a very small amount.

hey Bree what show were you at? when is Tamworth on?

I was at State Champs with AMHS for three days! So much fun!

Leaving for Tamworth and IMHR Nationals this Saturday

 

[a mini dream come true]

Wings, How did you do at the show? We muct have a update.and Pics

Megan, sounds like she is getting closer will be waiting for the pics.

 

[Wings]

Well if Laney doesn't mind sharing her thread:

No pics yet, as always I have to wait for them!

Pallidon took two Reserve Champions and one Champion. Derby took two Reserve Champions and Special took triple Supremes and Best Liberty!

I also won 'Owners Group of Two' with Pallidon and Spesh.

I was over the moon! Still am actually

I think I'm driving everyone nuts!

Had to scratch Lyric though, she went out in "one of her moods" and if her heart isn't in it she won't work at all. I decided I don't want to make her ring sour by forcing her out there so she spent the weekend playing with Derby in the stable and being stuffed full of treats to make sure she was having fun.

 

[a mini dream come true]

Congratulations Wings. That is wonderful.

:yeah . Ya'll had a great weekend and you deserve to be proud and over the moon. What a fantastic show. They all did you proud, even Lyric. Girls are entitled to be moody sometimes.

 

[MeganH]

CONGRATS, Bree!! Your guys always do so well!!

Nothing exciting going on with Laney. Udder is better then this morning but no bigger then it has been before.

Maybe she will surprise us tomorrow morning with a little more in her bag. I didn't try to milk her. Maybe will try tomorrow evening.

 

[StarRidgeAcres]

Congratulations Wings! Those are awesome show results!!!

Looks like Laney is progressing exactly normally it seems to me.

 

[MeganH]

Yup. So now we just wait

She is an experienced mare so she knows what she is doing.

I am very tired tonight ladies so I am off to bed.

Congrats again, Connie, on your filly!

 

[a mini dream come true]

[cassie]

Laney just gone down flat and stretced out... she looks quiet though and ok so I think she is fine, I have just never seen her go flat before... is this normal Megan?

 

[cassie]

back up at 12:5am with some tail swishing and now all quiet

 

[cassie]

hmmm laney is a little restless right now... was in one stall and had a nibble of some hay then stopped lifted her taiil as if to do a poop but didn't see her do one... then slowly walked into the other stall had a nibble of that hay but not really interested in it... I wonder if the baby might be moving around a bit making her uncomfortable... hmm
