[cassie]

woohoo!!! yaya for some more foals!

I quite like seeing a pinto in your stables

(she can't hide as easy LOL)

ok girls I'm back and watching so come on show us the goods!

 

[misty'smom]

I am watching too, I've been tuning in every night watching everyone's mares hoping to see my 1st MareStare birth! I hope it happens soon!

 

[misty'smom]

Seems the kitty cat is stall hopping!! Maybe he wants to get a good seat to watch a baby be born!!!

[cassie]

[atotton]

LOL, I agree Babe stands out really well on cam! She is one of my pintaloosa mares bred to my near leopard stallion, hoping for a really exciting baby from her! I wish my mares were showing the same signs that mom's are! Especially considering some of mine are further along, but I guess they will foal when they are ready! I just dont handle the wait very well, Im going stir crazy waiting for foals and for spring to ever get here, we got a bunch of snow again today, this winter will never end! As a recap, Buttons is in left stall at 317 days today, ELady is in the middle stall at 337 days today, and Babe is in the right stall at 303 days.

 

[cassie]

haha I can understand that

I did that once and the mare didn't foal until a month later

I hit the high alert and everything

Babe now down sternal resting. Buttons has been up again for a little while.

 

[cassie]

[amystours]

I can't watch any cams on my phone!! This is supposed to be a top-of-the-line phone!

Pouting right now, seems like lots of girls are getting ready all at once! Maybe it's the full moon coming up this week (well, in the Northern Hemisphere anyway).

Speaking of which, send some of that heat this way!! Supposed to be 31 tonight (1degree below freezing), and I'm SICK of being cold, haha! Not to mention all my flowers having to be covered...

I can't imagine having to trek out to do mare checks in the snow!!

 

[cassie]

is it an iphone you have? get a free app called skyfire. thats where I watch all the cams from

works a treat! Buttons and Babe down sternal 12:01am haven't seen E Lady down at all tonight

 

[cassie]

[amystours]

Hi Cassie...it's a Samsung Galaxy Note II. A 'phablet', if you will...but I'm going to look the app up.

I was sure looking forward to waking up and seeing some new little ones SOMEWHERE!!

 

[cassie]

babe down flat looks to be just resting... E Lady down sternal and Buttons standing

Amystours were you able to get the app? I find it really brilliant on my iphone hoping you can get it on your samsung

E Lady now down flat Babe sternal, E Lady back sternal lol Buttons holding up the wall.

 

[cassie]

Babe just did a roll then back up. Buttons lay down for two seconds jumped back up and did a poo...

E Lady just had a roll and is now back up holding the wall again...

 

[AnnaC]

Nearly 6am and all looking boringly normal. LOL!! Sorry but it doesn't look as though anyone will be 'producing' tonight!

 

[Maple Hollow Farm]

Arent my mares soooo fun LOL! I keep hoping for serious udders each time I go out, and keep getting disappointed, maybe someday I will get a foal... I am just so impatient, I am expecting some truly awesome babies and have several new crosses due so its driving me nuts!
