I'm surprised Suzie hasn't got straw all over her... maybe she hasn't laid down yet tonight?? she has at least 4 inches of nice fresh straw in her stable tonight

so Suzie mummy made your bedroom nice and healthy and clean for ou and your new baby so would you be kind enough to repay her by having your baby?? please ? I don't think its too much to ask lol do you girls??

 

[Lindi-loo]

Oh I can't wait! We go visit him every weekend but it's not enough. We will be working on his barn/shelter tonight, and putting up his wire fencing over the weekend

My husband has been working hard and needs extra hands to be able to get it done when we want it done by. I might post a thread of pics and a few videos on the board in a few in the pic/video section.

 

[MeganH]

She looked to be kicking her belly or using her back left leg to scratch it. I saw some yawns earlier, then butt rubbing and walking around. Now she's standing in the center of the stall. Not very still though lol

I'm back! Two more mares covered successfully. Dragon is so funny - now he has got over his usual 'let me at 'em' attitude, he is now is his 'laid back' stage. LOL!! As Cathy brings him up the field on his way to the mares field, he is busy jiggling about and shouting his presence. This he continues as he is led along the mare's fence. The two mares we hoped were still in season, follow him along with the 'I might be persuaded if the little squirt behaves himself' (they are senior mares!), other mares wander off saying 'who does he think he is?'. A couple of others stay staring at him with that 'hummm well I'm thinking about it, but not today thanks!'

Having done his fence walk and got everyone stirred up, Dragon then loses interest! All he want's to do is eat the grass!! So off I go to fetch the mare that he has been covering for the last 4 days. Out we come into 'Dragon's' field. More excited voice sounds from Dragon, who now wants to rush over to say hello. Cathy lets him approach, but when he gets about 10 feet away he stops. Now he has to do his 'inch forward very slowly with little squeaky chat noises'. Mare showing fully in season, Dragon still inching! At last he gets to the mare. Up to her head to do lots of chats, keeping right out of the way of her back end - she might kick me! We wait! OK chats over Dragon now decides to eat more grass!

I move mare over to our little covering bank (another large mare for the poor boy!) Cathy tells Dragon to come along we haven't got all day! Eventually he lifts his head and approaches the mare again, more chats, lots of squeaky noise (when is his voice going to break?) Fully extended and all ready to go..........another bite of grass needed!

Again we wait and wait (we have found out to our cost that we cannot hustle him, he will simply loose interest! After he has covered his first couple of mares each year, this is the way he has to do it from then on!). Mare now getting a bit fed up! Suddenly he is ready, up comes his head and with another quick chat to the mare he moves close, nudges her a couple of times and he's round the back with a leap and a bound, up on his little hillock and on top of the mare covering her. I'm at the front with the mare's head nearly inside my coat as I lean against her to stop her moving forward coz Dragon will fall off his hillock, Cathy with Dragon, with his halter rope in one hand, mare's tail in the other and her foot up against his back feet to stop him slipping.

Deed done, another quick chat with the mare and Dragon lowers his head to eat more grass!!

Another three hours pass - Dragon spends the time out in his own field - and we repeat the whole proceedure with the other mare who is in season! Sometimes both Cathy and I wish that he would be a bit QUICKER and just get on with the job in hand!!

He then goes back to his stable for lunch, whereupon he ignores lunch for about 5 minutes while he rushes back and forth saying 'there might be more, their might be more'. Suddenly he decides that perhaps there are no 'more' and lunch IS important and he settles down to eat and then spends the afternoon between grazing his hay and having long siesta that would make Suzie jealous. LOL!!

Ooooo in the time I was typing the above the cam has gone down - cant get Peanut up either - is there a problem with marestare??

 

[AnnaC]

Still not working! Is it me or marestare? Anyone else having trouble?
