Maple Hollow Farms 2013 Foaling Season Complete

[Maple Hollow Farm]

Chippy is testing 40% tonight, didnt test the other two as their udders are down a bit but still am keeping an eye on Babe since she has such a loose rear all the time!

 

[Maple Hollow Farm]

Just for fun, thought I would share pics I took today of Maestro. He is the full brother to the foal that Mars is carrying. I think he is looking pretty awesome!

Maestro is a handsome boy!!!! Can't wait to see your new foals!!!!!

Watching your mares.................hoping to see a foal born!!!!!

even more excited for Mars's baby now! babe was down flat earlier had a good roll and is back up.

Im thinking Chippy is definitely in the first stages of labor, she was down pushing so I of course went out, well apparently she got stage fright and not going to proceed with me there so I guess I am up for the duration until she does something! I will be the half asleep one sitting in front of the tv/monitor!

 

[cassie]

wow really?! this must have been while I was at lunch :/ I was thinking Mars was looking restless with lots of pacing going on...

safe foaling if she decides to foal for you... I'm here for another 2 hours if you wanted to catch a nap... I know that I can call you

if anything happens... just to confirm, Chippy is in the left stall?

p.s can we see some more piccies of your little ones in the morning pretty please?

Good Morning Cassie

Thanks for sharing Maestro, he sure is gorgeous. It's nearly 1.00 am and Babe looks very restless.

 

[Eagle]

It looks like she is emptying out cos she has pooped twice in the last few minuites

Hi Renee

also Babe has been yawning a bit tonight and there she goes again more yawning... and pacing,
