Mare ready to foal?

[cassie]

Home for lunch

just went to brush suzie cos she is malting like crazy!! N she was very agitated pacing the fence line she is very relaxed begin n I think she is looking very red even on the edges of her hooha she was loving the scratches tho

 

[jessj]

Exciting!!! Can't wait to get to work and turn,on the Suzie show!

 

[cassie]

hehe thanks Jess!! wish I could be watching Darla for you!!

 

[Lindi-loo]

Just saw the most weird thing on Suzies cam coldnt work out what it was but as they got closer could see they were birds walking along the floor

 

[cassie]

Haha yeah we have heaps of birds at our place were they ducks?

 

[Lindi-loo]

Haha yeah we have heaps of birds at our place were they ducks?

I dont think so.. think they were our aquivalent to Magpies not sure if you have them but thats what they looked like..thought they were cats at first or giant rats

 

[cassie]

haha they could have been magpies, but most probably were kurrawongs they are a smaller version of the mapgie

I think Suzie has really dropped more tonight... you can't really see from the angle she is on now but looking at her side on she looks lower...

well I'm going to get a little nanna nap in before Youth because I'm really not feeling great tonight...

19.52 and Suzie is down resting already

 

[MeganH]

good morning (goodnight)!!

Suzie is down sternal at 9:55pm her time.

 

[cassie]

hi all I'm back

hectic night at youth but oh well, hope everyone is having a great day, morning evening! thanks for keeping an eye on Suzie for me

her hooha is very relaxed and the slit (opening) is quite open and pink, which it normally isn't... she seems to be breathing pretty heavy on and off, but she is probably tricking us again.

 

[cassie]

Suzie was very restless just then n was yawning so much!! She kept making me yawn lol

 

[cassie]

Time for some sleep for me I have barn alarm on just in case!! Wish we had a reason to use it!! Night all n thanku!!

 

[jessj]

kept thinking...wow suzie is being very still...not even an ear twitch. nope, just my screen frozen!

crazy computer!

 

[cassie]

Haha that sucks!! Suz about to lie down... Hmmm maybe!? Maybe not a little bit of pacing just then...

 

[LittleRibbie]

hi cassie, Ive been watching suzi sleep for a bit today..shes in a great spot LOL.

Ive been thinking about suzi...I know this has been discussed but now that Spring is almost upon you and little suzi has been shedding. Do you have some new clipper blades for after her filly is born. I watch Cam and he really gets under there and rubs his little nose and face all over Peanuts belly and if she were to be shedding he would certainlly be getting a mouthful. I do think it would be wise to get her clipped pretty soon after foaling.....or at least her belly area just to keep baby out of all the flying loose hair. I also notice Cam sort of mouths PN all over and not just the belly. These are just my thoughts and what I have seen with Cam.

I hope all is well...saw you doing a little grooming earlier..had to chuckle b/c Suzi did not seem impressed w/you looking at her privates..shes so cute!!

Sorry to hear about your mare. It is hard to lose one but to not know why is even worse, I know that first hand. Just remember her as she was in her good days. It seems to be a bad week here for some of us.

 

[Lindi-loo]

Aww thats so sad and yes even worse if theres no cause and no answers for your closure..you have to keep thinking of all the good things you did to make her time with you so special

..sending hugs for you x

 

[cassie]

Diane so sorry to hear of the loss of your girl! You poor thing that's terrible I completely understand you taking some time off but if you wanted more time that's perfectly Fine by us. I really hope n pray she passed quickly n out of pain, sending cyber hugs your way n praying for you.

I'm sure she was one if the most well loved ponies n I'm sure that she loved you n she had the best life with you

I know it's hard but please dnt think she could have had a better life else where she was happy healthy n loved

Xoxo

Suzie is a very naughty girl!!!

 

[AnnaC]

So very sorry Diane, been there myself once and even after I got over the shock, the questions tumbling through my mind lasted for ages, in fact I still ask them when I pass the place where I found her body.

Please try to let your mind find peace, your horses are so well loved and cared for, you are an experienced horse person, I very much doubt that there were any 'final' signs that you would have missed. Sometimes nature simply wont let us see the reasons.

Sending you sincere sympathies and ((((HUGS)))).

I have been watching Suzie, but am still having trouble on and off with LB - for some reason it often will not 'throw up' the post page when I request it!! Most annoying.

Yes Cassie, you simply have to stop Suzie from doing her droppings in the middle of her bedroom!

 

[Eagle]

Diane I am so sorry about your little girl, the not knowing is awful but don't let it get to you. Your horses are very well cared for so I am sure there was nothing else you could do.

RIP little beauty
