Mare ready to foal?

[LittleRibbie]

Hi Cassie, I cant seem to see suzi, i saw your riding horse walking way out past the fence and suzi might be on the other side of the fence laying down...my eyes are so old and so bad I cant see a thing! I'll have to check on her later. how are you holding up? wish there was some magic wand I can wave in front of miss suzi for you.Funny how we wait for what seems like ages and then poof!! they're here and poof!! they get big...Im in shock with how fast Cam is growing...wish there was something I could give him to keep him small!! Are your days getting longer with the warmer weather in Australia?

Oh, I just wanted to tell you Peanuts udder never got relaxed IMO never really thought about it I guess. Her udder was never really wrinkled anyway...just slowly started getting bigger i think.

Are your days getting longer with the warmer weather in Australia?

[cassie]

Well we are back to wet cold windy miserable weather again here today lol

can't wait for some warmer weather

She is prob lying down heidi

He does look huge!! Lol I hope suzies baby stays small lol

 

[cassie]

Suzie doing MAJOR butt rubs right now, from one fence back to the other lol

I think she must be feeling the pressure!!

 

[MeganH]

Suzieeee..... come out come out wherever you aaaare... I can't see her on the cam. Unless thats her standing like a statue in the right top corner...

 

[cassie]

lol probably she has been standing out in the pouring rain the whole time!!!

she is drenched!!!!

 

[cassie]

ok weather has turned REALLY wild here!! Suzie has been running around like crazy (Don't really know why!) and the ground is really muddy so she is in bed and the ponies are fed and have their warm rain rugs on!! its absoloutly horrible!! going to go out and rub suzie down I think she might be cold... and then I have to go back down to work... please keep an eye on her, just in case she does something silly...

thanks

yes Diane I put her in the weather has turned really bad so I have put her in,

 

[Lindi-loo]

She hasnt eaten all her food again thats deff a sign shes getting close isnt it,,she used to spend ages making sure every last bit was gone

Just logged in and there was Suzie already stabled! Read through the posts and realised you are having some really bad weather Cassie. Good job she's inside, although she doesn't look very happy about it - or perhaps it is the wind and rain upsetting her, think you said that she doesn't like the wind??

I think you should have hooked her bowl on her door Cassie, just in case it gets in her way if she wants to lay down - you used to do this, cant remember if you posted why she now has it on the floor, but if it gets knocked into the middle of her stable, we can lose sight of 'part' of her if she lays down somewhere round the edge!

Hope you will be home from work before long so you can use your calming influence to get poor Suz settled for the night.

Hi Anna she was outside for the day then at 4pm it turned really nasty and she was running around crazy, I didn't want her to slip and do any damage to herself and baby so I put her in bed, I put the feed bin in there tonight cos the wind comes straight in the door and at least she can get away from it on that side... when I go home I will put it on the gate if she isn't finished or take it away if she is.

she almost ran inside when I led her in, (even though she could have gone inside earlier lol)

n she has been in that corner, I really think she was running around telling me she wanted to be fed and inside...

Sounds like you have the same awful weather we are having here Cassie. Its not nice! I feel for the horses that dont have warm stables to get dry and warm in in this kind of weather.

I got totally drenched out feeding and changing rugs etc this afternoon. Thought id get it all done early before it got too cold. And sure enough, now the rain has slowed right up

Sounds like Suzie is feeling a bit uncomfortable today...

 

[cassie]

Renee I did the same thing, ducked home from work because Suzie was going crazy I was scared she would slip and hurt herself... about to go and check her now, but yes the weather has been AWFUL!! the wind is absoloutly FREEZING! and the rain is now constant, have to go out to youth group lol but I would really rather just stay at home lol

I got drenched changing ponies rugs this arvo too! and muddy lol yuck!!

bring on spring!! lol

 

[anyssapark]

I just saw the forecast for the week, and its rain and wind for a whole week!

We have a severe weather warning in place here tonight now. Expecting 90-100km winds. Oh yay

 

[cassie]

oh yuck we have wind warnings in place too... and rain for the next few days... kinda glad Suzie doesn't look like immenant (sp) foaling right now lol

 

[AnnaC]

Suzie looks more settled now - has that nasty weather eased off a bit now Cassie?

Regarding her feed bowl - I might have known that you had a good and sensible reason for where you put it Cassie!

Well I'm off to walk M round the fields and then it is another Doc appointment followed by a trip into town to stock up the fridge and cupboards!

Hopefully Cathy will be over at lunchtime bringing back my fav girl, her g/daughter (both hopefully in foal for next year) plus their yearling fillies (foals from last year) - quite a family gathering, just realised that there will be fav mare plus her daughter, her g/daughter and her g/g/daughter! LOL!!

Catch you all later!

 

[cassie]

see ya Anna!!

no weather hasn't eased!! its quite terrible actually driving home was a nightmare!! with all the rain and wind! but I am home exhausted wet n cold and ready for bed lol

Suzie is lying down sternal in a new position lol :unsurebut looking comfortable, Anna I think Suzie just really wanted to be invited into her nice stable lol

oh now Suz is up, a yawn and some shaking then to the bathroom hehe

then to the kitchen LOL

night everyone!

 

[cassie]

p.s off to work at the vets tomorrow, so prob won't post much in the morning as I will be rushing around getting ready to go lol!

thats if I wake up lol I always want to lay in bed and watch a movie or read a book when its raining lol oh well night everyone

 

[jessj]

SUZIE....you just scared the life out of me!!! I have been super busy all morning and just now had time to check on you. So I click on your camera...and no Suzie!!! After a minute or so you finally ambled across the screen then disappeared on the other side! You do no have permission to go off camera...we need to see you at all times!

 

[Lindi-loo]

shes lucky to have a warm stable to cozy up in with all that nasty weather outside..maybe a book or a movie for her too Cassie

I sometimes leave the radio on down the stables for mine

I was going to play some soft music while she was in labour but it all happened so fast and that was proberbly going a bit too far
