LET'S RUN STATS ON NAIL TEST

[cassie]

Can't say how many times on actually predicting whether pregnant or not as the issue rather than predicting the foal's sex correctly or not. I know this year Cassie got a prediction of filly but the mare turned out not to be in foal. No doubt others may have as well.

yes I was very sad

but I have read since then that using the mares own hair as the thread is more reliable... not sure if any of you girls have found this true... but will definitley use it in the future,...

very interesting Cassie, I will try that today.

I have always used a gold wedding ring, is it not the same?

Still waiting for snowball. Nail test predicts filly. So we'll see

We had a filly born on Wed. we had done the nail test and it said filly. So yes, nail test accurate so far. We ahve one more to go next month.

I just did the test on my mare. The test said girl. I think she is going to foal tonight or even later this afternoon. Her bag is full and sweaty. She is bouncing her bum on the wall. I have her on camera but not on mare stare. I will let everyone know if the test was right.

Hi Cassie

. Guess I will go pull a few hairs today and If there is movement I will pull out my own hair. I am hoping to be watching YOUR girl on mare stare next year while I take a year off from foaling.

Thanks and hooray for you!

Hi Katie. I read your post on another thread that you were expecting your mare to foal last night. Congratulations on your colt. Hope everything is ok there, saw you posted it was a red bag delivery. I am sort of behind in catching up on this thread I started. It has been a rough week...a death of a toddler (beautiful little boy) whose family is so very close to my son's family.

Anyhow, here is where we are with yours reporting:

#25 PRINCESS/KATIEAN/FILLY/NO (colt was foaled)

14 YES (test was correct in predicting sex of foal)

11 NO (test was incorrect in predicting sex of foal)

Keep 'em coming guys. The nail test/ring test although "not accurate" is fun to do and at least we are combining our results this year. It is fun and a neat way to reference each others foalings (in addition to posting those gorgeous babies pictures on the new foal thread). Want to wish everyone good luck with their upcoming foalings now that the season is in full swing.
