Thanks everyone, I know mom and I are pretty thrilled already (even if I am still waiting on all mine LOL)!

He probably would look pretty good in your pasture ;-)

 

[cassie]

the little filly is stunning! what a beautifully correct little girl, can't wait to see how they mature!

 

[Jade10]

E Lady was just down sternal... she had a big roll or two and is back up.

Babe is down sternal and Buttons is rubbing on everything

How'd the night go for you?

 

[Maple Hollow Farm]

Well still no more foals. Buttons' udder is getting fuller, still not "ready" but getting closer. Babe's udder is getting pretty firm but the nipples are still pointing towards eachother. ELady's udder is "dropping" more, was fairly firm but small and now is loosening and coming down more. Mars and Chippy are both getting good starts to their udders as well but not looking close. Naomi I am still on the fence if she is bred, deep down I feel she is, its just hard to tell since she is a maiden bred to a 29" stallion! She feels like she has the start of an udder though and since she has never foaled and isnt over weight I dont think it would be a fat or typical broodmare udder.

 

[Gone_Riding]

Here's hoping she's bred!

 

[Maple Hollow Farm]

OMG, how am I supposed to know who to have on camera....nobody looks ready but I have udders EVERYWHERE!!!! And they are all at about the same point now (except ELady, I have given up trying to figure out what she is up to!). I guess if someone gets more ready than another I will switch them around until then its all a guessing game. If my sneakier mares get closer I will probably put them under cam as I will know on my older mares when they are ready, they are the same every year, although I am still watching them closely as well since it seems nobody wants to be normal this year. Sigh...

 

[countrymini]

I agree with Cassie. Send him over to Australia (but to Brisbane not Sydney hehe)

 

[eagles ring farm]

wow musical mares ...you must be seeing udders in your sleep ....what little your getting

 

[blazingstarranch]

Hahahaha, we have three all due at about the same time too, and only two stalls with a cam on them. So, we're playing musical stalls as well hahaha...and I agree, it's "udder" madness!

 

[Maple Hollow Farm]

Ok I have updated my status with "due dates" to help out. The date to be listed from now on will be the 330 days but please keep in mind that "normally" our mares never reach their 330 days but for some reason this year some seem to be going longer. Hope this helps! So far Mars (4/12), Chippy (4/10), Buttons (4/6), ELady (3/17), Star (4/25), and Babe (4/20) have really nice starts to their udders. Naomi (4/6) and Babs (4/6) are both still questionable on whether they are in foal, I just cant decide, sometimes I have no doubt and others I am unsure so pretty much going to figure it out if they get ready and have a foal or they dont LOL!
