She seem ok thsi morning shes munching on hay right now. She doesnt seem overly concerned about where the other horses are. Just read on the website for the strips I use that 85% means with in 24 hours.....Shes going to be watched like a hawk today....but from inside so I dont disturb her. Ill watch her close today and retest this afternoon....see if it changes to 95% which means in 12 hours. Her milk streamed out pretty good this morning usually I get a few drops..It streamed once yesterday and then did drops....this morning It streamed easily! Glad to see light at the end of the tunnel
Well since last time I checked in she has done alot of rolling and a bunch of head fling towards her sides. Im officially so excited
...wonder if it will be today or tonight
We have some rain supposedly coming in tonight so she may go then. Lets go Lily we all want to see your well over cooked baby

Looks like your mare Lily and my mare Missy need to BOTH get on the ball about this foaling thing. I'm not sure which strips you're using but Missy is testing 6.4ph - with my luck your mare Lily will beat Missy but atleast it will be a nice little "race" to see who! I told Missy that I am surrendering
and leaving for the afternoon - I know she heard my family's car drive away and I bet she thinks I left too LOL
EDITED TO ADD:
Not to mention that our mare's both look alike so it'd be interesting to see what our foals look like!

Ben we may end up with a update before tonight I just check her hooha and inside is a dark blood red color and she has been up for a bit so I dont think it has anything to do with her rolling spell earlier. Im so excited, nervous, and scared. Never done this before and am praying for a uneventful foaling
Thanks diane....I hope your on later incase I have issues. My vet knows but shes 30 minutes away. My friends vet has volunteered to come if needed as he is only 10 minutes away. I have watched a bunch of red bag videos and im pretty confident I can handle that. Its the wrong positioning that scares me....but hoping its a smaller baby and pops right out
Now I sit glued to the tv watching lily. I just went out and wrapped her tail. I did make sure it wasnt tight. thats when I checked her coloring and seen she was a dark blood red inside!

I was looking and I don't see a picture of the daddy-to-be, any pics of the "old man"? Missy is bred to a bay minimal tobiano and this cross has produced two pinto foals for me so I am hoping for another.
Good luck to you with her - wouldn't that be the funniest thing if they both went at the same time, better yet had similar looking foals? That my friends would be hilarious!

How neat! Where in Florida are you located? I travel down to Georgia alot and have been to Florida on numerous occassions and maybe one day I can hop over and see your new little one! I am about to go out and check on Missy and see where she's at with this "program".
Daddy is a handsome man - wish I could un-shrink him and make him into a riding horse he reminds me of an Andalusian with his mane, tail and coloring.
Missy is right at 31.25" inches and the sire is about 31.75" so I expect the foal to mature at 31.50" or so......Your mare looks so pretty, do you have any pictures of her before she was pregnant?

Your mare will probably foal way before mine. With how Missy's acting it's making me think she still has several days to go. Good luck!
